Intermatic WP5100BL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Intermatic WP5100BL in-use cover meet the 2020 NEC extra-duty requirement for outdoor receptacles?
Yes. The WP5100BL is an extra-duty rated in-use cover that complies with 2020 NEC Article 406.9(B)(1) for wet locations and extra-duty applications, and it also meets CEC Article 26-702. It is UL Certified for Type 3R outdoor enclosures. If an inspector is calling for extra-duty on an exterior receptacle, this cover satisfies that call.
2) Can the WP5100BL weatherproof cover be mounted on a vertical box or does it only work horizontally?
Both. The WP5100BL is a single-gang cover set up for vertical or horizontal mounting, so one part covers a box rotated either way. That matters on retrofits where existing boxes on a building were installed in mixed orientations.
3) How far does the Intermatic WP5100BL stick off the wall with a cord plugged in?
The cover has a 2.75 inch depth, with an overall footprint of 6.33 inches by 4.66 inches. That 2.75 inches is what you need to clear for a plug, a timer, or a right-angle cord end behind a railing, planter, or piece of equipment.
4) Will a plastic in-use cover hold up in freezing weather and take a hit from equipment?
The WP5100BL is molded from UV stabilized polycarbonate (cover, mounting base, and inserts), passes a 12 lbf impact test, and meets cold impact testing down to -60 F (-51 C). The hinge pin is reinforced to exceed a 40 lbf hinge hang/stress test, which is usually the first thing to fail on a cheap cover left open in the wind.
5) Is the WP5100BL black or does it come in other colors?
The WP5100BL is black. That is the color built into this model number, so if a building standard calls for gray or clear, you are ordering a different Intermatic WP model, not an option on this one.
6) What is the correct part number and manufacturer for this black extra-duty single-gang in-use cover?
Intermatic WP5100BL. That is the manufacturer part number as it appears on the box, made in Mexico. Use it exactly when matching an existing installation across a property so every opening gets the same depth and color.
