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.
