Crouse-Hinds DS185 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Crouse-Hinds DS185 cover work with a standard toggle light switch?
The DS185 is built for general use snap switches with standard ON-OFF operation, so a common toggle switch is exactly what it covers. It will not accommodate a rocker/decorator device, a receptacle, or a three-position or dimmer-style control that needs a different opening shape.
2) Can the DS185 be used in a hazardous or classified area?
No. The DS185 is approved for ordinary, non-hazardous locations only. For a Class I or Class II classified area you need a device cover specifically listed for that division and group, not this one.
3) Is the DS185 switch cover suitable for outdoor use in the rain?
Yes, it is a raintight cover. The die-cast aluminum body seals against the box with an integrated gasket, which is what makes it appropriate for exterior lighting controls and other wet-exposed switch locations.
4) Can you padlock the Crouse-Hinds DS185 to stop people switching equipment on and off?
Yes. The cover includes a hole for a lock, so you can padlock it shut and keep unauthorized hands off the switch. That is the usual reason it gets specified on pump controls, irrigation, and exterior lighting in public or tenant-accessible areas.
5) How many switches does the DS185 cover hold?
One. It is a single-gang cover, so it takes a single snap switch. For a two- or three-gang box you need a multi-gang cover instead; ganging this one is not an option.
6) Does the DS185 come with a gasket or do I order that separately?
The gasket ships with the cover. That is the sealing element between the cover and the box face, so there is no separate part to specify for a standard install.
7) Will a die-cast aluminum switch cover hold up near the coast?
The DS185 body is die-cast aluminum, which is the standard corrosion-resistant choice for exterior electrical covers and is why it gets used in coastal and marine-adjacent installs. Aluminum does not rust, though in direct salt spray you should still expect surface oxidation over time and keep the gasket seated.
8) What part number do I order for the Crouse-Hinds raintight lockable snap switch cover?
The manufacturer part number is DS185, from Eaton's Crouse-Hinds line. It is a single configuration, so there is no finish, gang, or option suffix to select.
