Red Dot S305E – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Red Dot S305E GFCI cover weatherproof for outdoor use?
The Red Dot S305E is raintight with the cover closed, and only when it's mounted on an appropriate Red Dot box. That means it protects the receptacle when nothing is plugged in and the lid is shut, but it is not an in-use (extra-duty) cover, so a cord left plugged in with the lid propped open is not protected. For an outdoor receptacle that feeds a cord permanently, use an in-use style cover instead.
2) Will the S305E cover fit a standard duplex receptacle, or only a GFCI?
The S305E is cut for a GFCI (decorator-style rectangular) device opening, horizontal orientation. A standard duplex receptacle with two round plug faces won't line up with that single rectangular opening, so you'd need a duplex-configured cover for that device.
3) Will the S305E give me a raintight seal on any weatherproof box?
The raintight rating holds when the S305E is paired with the appropriate Red Dot boxes. On a non-Red Dot box the hole pattern and gasket seating may not match up, so the weather seal isn't assured. Match the cover to a Red Dot box to get the rated performance.
4) Does horizontal mean the cover mounts on a sideways box?
Horizontal describes how the GFCI device sits in the cover, with the long axis of the device opening running side to side. Use it where the box and device are mounted in the horizontal position. If your GFCI is mounted upright, you want the vertical version of the cover instead.
5) Is the Red Dot S305E certified for use in Canada?
The S305E carries CSA 18685, so it's a CSA-certified cover for Canadian installations as well as US work.
6) What part number do I order for the Red Dot horizontal silver GFCI cover?
Order Red Dot S305E. That's the manufacturer part number for the horizontal GFCI receptacle cover in silver zinc.
7) What is the Red Dot S305E cover made of, and will it hold up outdoors?
It's a zinc cover, finished in silver. Zinc die cast is the usual choice for exterior box covers because it takes weather better than a plain steel plate, and the silver finish is the as-cast look rather than a painted color.
8) Does the S305E come as a single cover or in a multi-pack?
The S305E GFCI cover sells as each, one cover per unit. If you're covering several openings on a job, order the quantity you need by the piece.
