Installation Process

1. Verify electrical box dimensions match 4-11/16" square configuration
2. Ensure all wiring connections are properly terminated and secured
3. Position surface cover over electrical box, aligning mounting holes
4. Install appropriate mounting screws through cover into box threads
5. Verify cover sits flush and secure against mounting surface
6. Test outlet functionality and confirm proper grounding continuity

Applications

Perfect for:

• Commercial Buildings - Office complexes, retail spaces, and professional facilities requiring reliable power distribution
• Industrial Facilities - Manufacturing plants, warehouses, and processing facilities with demanding electrical requirements
• Institutional Projects - Schools, hospitals, and government buildings requiring code-compliant electrical systems
• Equipment Connections - Motor control centers, switchgear, and electrical panel applications
• Surface-Mounted Systems - Installations where recessed mounting is not practical or desired
• Retrofit Applications - Upgrading existing electrical systems while maintaining surface accessibility
• Heavy-Duty Environments - Areas requiring robust protection against mechanical damage
• Code Compliance Projects - Installations requiring NEC/CEC compliant electrical components

Surface Cover System Benefits

Surface covers provide essential protection for electrical connections while maintaining easy access for maintenance and modifications. Unlike flush-mounted alternatives, surface covers offer additional internal volume for wire management and can be installed over existing electrical boxes without extensive modification. The raised profile design accommodates larger wire bundles and provides improved heat dissipation for high-current applications.

Why Choose Steel Construction?

Steel surface covers deliver superior mechanical protection compared to plastic alternatives, making them ideal for industrial and commercial environments where impact resistance is critical. The steel construction provides excellent electromagnetic shielding properties and maintains dimensional stability across wide temperature ranges. Trusted by electrical professionals for over 100 years, Eaton Crouse-Hinds steel covers offer the durability and reliability required for long-term electrical system performance.
