Red Dot DKG-PRO – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a Red Dot DKG-PRO deck grommet satisfy the while-in-use requirement for an outdoor receptacle on a raised deck?
Yes. The DKG-PRO Deck Grommet Pro meets the current UL and NEC requirements for while-in-use outdoor receptacles, and it's built for outdoor raised deck installations specifically. That's the code point inspectors look at on a deck-mounted receptacle, so an in-use cover requirement is handled by the grommet itself.
2) Is the Red Dot deck grommet UL listed, and what is the listing number?
It carries UL listing E11461. For an institutional or municipal job where the spec sheet has to name a listing, that's the number to put on the submittal.
3) Is the DKG-PRO deck grommet metal or plastic?
Non-metallic, in black. On an exterior deck that means no rust streaking down the boards and no bonding concern for the cover itself, which is why a non-metallic cover is usually the call outdoors over a die-cast metal one.
4) What part number do I order for the Red Dot Deck Grommet Pro, and does it come as a case or singly?
Order manufacturer part number DKG-PRO from Red Dot. It's sold each, so a 12-unit deck with a receptacle at each post is 12 lines of one, not a case buy.
5) What does a deck grommet actually do compared to a standard weatherproof in-use bubble cover?
A deck grommet sits flush in the deck surface and lets the cord pass through while keeping the receptacle protected, rather than standing proud of a wall the way a bubble-style in-use cover does. The Red Dot DKG-PRO is the version for a raised deck, where a wall-mount bubble cover has nothing to mount to and would be a trip hazard underfoot. If the receptacle is on a wall, post face, or siding instead of in the deck surface, a while-in-use bubble cover is the right choice.
6) Can I use the Red Dot DKG-PRO on a ground-level patio slab or a concrete pad?
It's specified for raised deck applications, meaning there's open space underneath for the box and conduit to land. A slab-on-grade patio has no cavity below the surface, so the grommet has nowhere to seat. For a slab, run to a post or pedestal-mounted weatherproof box with an in-use cover instead.
