Technical Specifications

This surface cover features a standard 4" x 4" square profile with 0.5" height and raised surface design. The steel construction provides 0.34 lb weight for substantial feel while maintaining easy handling during installation. The single receptacle opening measures 1-13/32" diameter, precisely sized for standard electrical receptacles. Internal capacity of 5.5 cubic inches ensures adequate space for wire connections and meets electrical code requirements. NEC/CEC compliant construction ensures code compliance in commercial and industrial installations.

Installation Process

1. Verify electrical box mounting is secure and properly positioned for surface installation
2. Ensure all electrical connections are complete and properly terminated before cover installation
3. Position the surface cover over the electrical box, aligning mounting holes
4. Install receptacle device through the 1-13/32" diameter opening, securing to box
5. Attach surface cover to electrical box using appropriate mounting screws
6. Verify cover is flush and secure, with no gaps around the perimeter

Applications

Perfect for:

• Commercial Buildings - Office spaces, retail environments, and professional facilities requiring surface-mounted power access
• Industrial Facilities - Manufacturing plants, warehouses, and processing facilities where surface mounting is preferred
• Retrofit Projects - Existing buildings where cutting into walls is not practical or desired
• Utility Installations - Equipment rooms, mechanical spaces, and utility areas requiring accessible power connections
• Institutional Buildings - Schools, hospitals, and government facilities with surface-mounted electrical systems
• Workshop Environments - Garages, maintenance shops, and technical facilities requiring durable electrical access
• Equipment Connections - Dedicated power supplies for machinery, tools, and specialized equipment
• Temporary Installations - Construction sites and temporary facilities requiring reliable surface-mounted power

Surface Cover System Benefits

Surface-mounted electrical covers provide significant advantages in retrofit and industrial applications where flush mounting is impractical. The raised design accommodates deeper electrical boxes and provides additional wire management space, while the surface mounting eliminates the need for wall modifications. This approach reduces installation time and costs while providing the same electrical safety and code compliance as flush-mounted systems.

Why Choose Steel Construction?

Steel construction offers superior durability and impact resistance compared to plastic alternatives, making it ideal for industrial and commercial environments where mechanical protection is essential. The material's dimensional stability ensures consistent fit and appearance over decades of service, while the professional finish maintains aesthetic appeal in visible installations. Eaton Crouse-Hinds steel covers are engineered for long-term reliability, reducing maintenance costs and ensuring consistent electrical system performance.
