Red Dot S306E – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Red Dot S306E GFCI cover weatherproof for outdoor use?
The S306E is raintight with the cover closed, and only when it is mounted on a matching Red Dot box. That means it protects the receptacle when nothing is plugged in and the lid is shut. If you need protection while a cord is plugged in continuously, this flip-lid style is not the right choice; a while-in-use (extra duty) in-use cover is what that application calls for.
2) Will the Red Dot S306E fit a standard decorator/GFCI receptacle?
Yes. The S306E is cut for a GFCI (decorator style) receptacle opening and mounts in the vertical orientation, so the device's long axis runs up and down. A duplex receptacle with two round plug faces will not fill this opening correctly, and a horizontally mounted device needs the horizontal version instead.
3) I need a horizontal GFCI cover, will the S306E work if I rotate it?
No. The S306E is the vertical configuration, and the device opening and lid hinge are oriented for a vertically mounted GFCI. Rotating it puts the lid swing and the opening out of line with the device. Order the horizontal version of the cover for a sideways-mounted receptacle.
4) What is the Red Dot S306E cover made of, and will it hold up outdoors on a commercial property?
It is a zinc cover in a silver finish, so it is a metal cover rather than plastic. For property managers standardizing exterior receptacle covers on masonry or metal boxes, that gives you a cover that handles impact and UV better than a polycarbonate lid.
5) Does the Red Dot S306E cover carry any certification for an inspected job?
It is built to CSA 18685, which is useful if you are working in Canada or on a job where the inspector wants a listed cover on the exterior device box. Pair it with a Red Dot box to keep the raintight rating intact.
6) Does the Red Dot S306E include the receptacle or the box?
No. S306E is the cover only. You supply the GFCI device and an appropriate Red Dot box, since the raintight performance depends on that box pairing.
7) How is the Red Dot S306E sold, one cover or a pack?
Sold individually, one cover per unit, under part number S306E. Order a count that matches your device openings if you are doing a run of exterior receptacles across a building.
