Intermatic WP7000W – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Intermatic WP7000W in-use cover meet 2020 NEC requirements for an outdoor receptacle in a wet location?
Yes. The WP7000W is an extra-duty in-use cover that meets 2020 NEC Article 406.9(B)(1) for wet locations, and it is UL Type 3R, meaning it is tested against rain, sleet, and ice. That is the combination an inspector looks for on an exterior receptacle that has a cord plugged in continuously, since the cover has to keep the opening protected with the lid closed over the cord, not just when nothing is plugged in.
2) How much room does the WP7000W weatherproof cover need on the wall around the outlet?
Plan for a footprint of 5.5 inches high by 3.75 inches wide, with the lid projecting 1.5 inches off the wall. It is a low-profile single-gang cover, so that 1.5 inch depth is the number to check if the receptacle sits behind a downspout, a railing, a shutter, or tight under a soffit. The whole assembly weighs 0.35 lbs.
3) Can the WP7000W cover be mounted horizontally, or only vertically?
Both. The single-gang WP7000W is a vertical/horizontal cover, so the same part handles a receptacle boxed in either orientation. That matters on retrofit work where you inherit whatever orientation the original installer used and do not want to stock two SKUs across a property.
4) Is a plastic in-use cover tough enough for a parking lot, construction site, or exposed commercial exterior?
This one is built for it. The WP7000W is extra-duty rated rather than standard duty: heavy-duty UV stabilized polycarbonate, a 12 lbf impact rating, and a reinforced hinge that passes over 40 lbf of stress testing. Where covers usually fail on these installs is the hinge and the UV chalking on the lid, which is what those two numbers speak to. Extra-duty is also what the 2020 NEC calls for on covers in wet locations not supported by a building surface.
5) Do I need an in-use cover or will a standard flip-lid weatherproof plate work for my outdoor outlet?
If anything stays plugged in, you need an in-use cover like this one. A flip-lid plate only seals when nothing is in the receptacle, so the moment a cord is run the opening is exposed and the installation no longer satisfies the wet location rule. The WP7000W closes over the plugged-in cord and keeps the receptacle protected, which is the case on holiday lighting, landscape equipment, sump and pump circuits, block heaters, and site power. Its 1.5 inch depth keeps the bubble small for an in-use design.
6) What comes in the box with an Intermatic plastic in-use weatherproof cover, and do I need anything else?
The cover ships with the gasket, the mounting screws, and the base, so the only thing you supply is the receptacle and the box it mounts to. If you intend to lock it, add a padlock with a shank no thicker than 0.19 inches, which is what the security hasp accepts.
7) Will an in-use cover hold up outdoors in a cold climate where it freezes hard every winter?
Rated to -60F, so the polycarbonate is specified to stay serviceable well past anything a North American winter delivers. Cold is where cheap covers crack, usually at the hinge when someone lifts a brittle lid at 10 below to unplug a block heater or a holiday circuit. The UL Type 3R listing covers ice formation as well as rain and sleet.
8) Can this outdoor outlet cover be locked so nobody unplugs or plugs into my exterior receptacle?
It has a lockable security hasp that takes a padlock up to 0.19 inch shank diameter. For a property manager that is the answer to unauthorized draw on exterior outlets, common on multi-family exteriors and in RV parks, and it also keeps a tenant's cord from being pulled on a circuit you need running. Pick the padlock to the 0.19 inch shank limit; a heavier commercial shackle will not pass through.
9) Can I standardize on the Intermatic WP7000W across a whole property's exterior outlets?
It is a reasonable standard for single-gang exterior receptacles. One part number covers both vertical and horizontal boxes, it comes with its own gasket, screws, and base so there is no separate kit to track, and it is paintable if elevations differ. The limit is gang count: this is a single-gang cover only, so any two-gang exterior box on the property needs a different part.
10) Can I paint an Intermatic in-use cover to match the building?
Yes, the surface is 100 percent paintable. That is the usual route on a facade where an all-white cover reads badly, and it is worth knowing before someone specs a custom color. The cover itself is offered in white and clear, so if you want the receptacle visible behind the lid, the clear version does that without paint.
