Bell 5173-2 1-Gang Blank Weatherproof Cover, Vertical/Horizontal Mount, Bronze Aluminum

Bell 5173-2 1-Gang Blank Weatherproof Cover, Vertical/Horizontal Mount, Bronze Aluminum

The Bell 5173-2 is a 1-Gang weatherproof cover engineered to protect outdoor electrical boxes that have no device installed. Machined from durable aluminum with a metallic bronze finish, this blank/flat cover mounts in either vertical or horizontal orientation, giving electricians flexibility when finishing exterior device boxes. The low-profile design measures just 0.28 in in depth, so it sits flush against the box for a clean, weather-tight appearance. Backed by a UL Listing, the 5173-2 delivers dependable protection against moisture, dust, and debris intrusion in outdoor and wet-location settings.
