Red Dot S306WHE – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Red Dot S306WHE GFCI cover rated for outdoor wet locations?
The S306WHE is raintight with the cover closed, and only when mounted on an appropriate Red Dot box. That means it protects the GFCI receptacle when nothing is plugged in and the lid is shut, not while a cord is run through it. If you need protection with a cord plugged in on a wet-location wall, you want an extra-duty in-use (bubble) cover instead.
2) Will the Red Dot S306WHE fit a vertically mounted GFCI receptacle?
Yes. The S306WHE is the vertical-orientation GFCI receptacle cover, so the device opening runs with the long axis of the plate. A horizontally mounted GFCI needs the horizontal version of the cover, not this one.
3) Do I need anything else besides the S306WHE cover to make the installation weatherproof?
Yes, the box matters. The raintight rating applies when the S306WHE is paired with an appropriate Red Dot box, so a mismatched box or a worn gasket surface undercuts the rating. Order the cover with the matching Red Dot weatherproof box if you are not reusing one in good condition.
4) Can I use the Red Dot S306WHE to replace a standard duplex weatherproof cover?
No. This cover is cut for a GFCI (decorator-style) device face, not a standard duplex receptacle with two round openings. If the device in the box is a standard duplex, you need a duplex weatherproof cover; if you are upgrading the device to GFCI at the same time, the S306WHE is the right plate.
5) What is the Red Dot S306WHE cover made of, and will it hold up outdoors?
It is a zinc cover finished in white. Die-cast zinc is used on exterior device covers because it takes weather and sunlight better than plastic, and the white finish matches light-colored siding and trim on multi-family and commercial exteriors.
6) Does the Red Dot S306WHE GFCI cover carry a certification for use in Canada?
The cover is listed under CSA 18685, which is the certification referenced for the S306WHE. That is the record to cite if a Canadian inspector or a spec on the drawing calls for CSA-certified weatherproof device covers.
7) How is the Red Dot S306WHE GFCI cover sold, and can I buy a case for a multi-unit job?
The S306WHE sells by the each, and it is also offered in a 100 pack, which is the usual way property managers and electrical contractors buy them when standardizing exterior receptacle covers across a building or a run of units.
8) What is the exact part number for the white vertical Red Dot GFCI cover?
Red Dot S306WHE. That is the manufacturer part number to quote for the white, vertical GFCI receptacle cover, and it is manufactured in India.
