Crouse-Hinds WLRS2 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Eaton Crouse-Hinds WLRS2 cover fit my round receptacle?
The WLRS2 wet location cover has a 1-1/2 inch opening diameter, sized for NEMA configuration round receptacles. If the receptacle face on your device box is a round NEMA type measuring 1-1/2 inches, it drops over it. A standard rectangular duplex or decorator-style receptacle will not work behind this cover, since the opening is a single round hole rather than a duplex cutout.
2) Can the WLRS2 cover be mounted horizontally?
No. The WLRS2 is built for a vertical mounting direction, meaning the spring door swings correctly only when the cover is oriented vertically on the box. Mounted sideways, the spring door will not close and seat against the gasket the way it is designed to, which defeats the weathertight closure. For a horizontal orientation you need the horizontal-configuration version of the cover, not this one.
3) Is this cover approved for a hazardous or classified area?
No. The Crouse-Hinds WLRS2 is rated for ordinary, non-hazardous locations only. It is a wet location receptacle cover built to NEC/CEC standards, but it carries no Class or Division rating. For a classified area, such as a fuel island, paint area, or Division 2 space, you need a hazardous-location receptacle and cover assembly instead.
4) What keeps water out of an outdoor receptacle with the WLRS2 cover?
Two things. A spring-loaded single door snaps shut over the round receptacle as soon as a plug is pulled, so the opening is not left exposed, and an integral gasket seals the cover to the mounting surface so water cannot track in behind the plate. Note that this is a self-closing style cover, so protection is in place when nothing is plugged in; it is not a while-in-use enclosure that stays sealed over a cord.
5) How much room does the WLRS2 cover take up on the wall?
Footprint is 1.13 in wide by 2.91 in long/deep and 4.44 in high, so it stays low profile on the mounting surface. That matters where the receptacle sits close to a corner, a column, or a piece of equipment and you need clearance for the spring door to swing up and back.
6) Will a copper-free aluminum cover hold up in coastal or corrosive outdoor conditions?
Copper-free aluminum is the material used on the WLRS2 body, and it is the standard choice for outdoor and industrial electrical fittings because low copper content resists the corrosion that attacks copper-bearing alloys. That makes it suitable for exterior walls, wash-down areas, and other spots where the cover sees repeated moisture exposure.
7) What part number should I order for the 1-1/2 inch vertical Crouse-Hinds wet location cover?
Order Eaton Crouse-Hinds WLRS2. That is the 1-1/2 inch size in the WLRS wet location cover series, copper-free aluminum, vertical configuration, with the gasket included. The cover is the only item in the part; the receptacle and the box are separate.
8) Can I standardize on the WLRS2 across outdoor receptacles in a facility?
It works as a standard wherever the openings all use NEMA round receptacles with a 1-1/2 inch face and the boxes are mounted for vertical orientation. Sites with a mix of round pin-and-sleeve style devices and standard rectangular duplex receptacles cannot run one cover across both; the WLRS2 only covers the round 1-1/2 inch type, and the vertical requirement rules out boxes set up for horizontal doors.
