TAYMAC ML500G Outdoor Comforts EXTRA DUTY 1-Gang Weatherproof In-Use Cover, Expandable, Gray

The TAYMAC ML500G is a 1-Gang weatherproof in-use cover from the Outdoor Comforts® EXTRA DUTY® Series, engineered for reliable outdoor protection of receptacles and switches. Molded from durable, nonmetallic Polycarbonate in a Gray finish, this expandable, multi-configurable cover has a 1.25 in depth that keeps cords and plugs protected from the elements even while devices are in use. It is cULus Listed, giving electricians and property owners confidence that it meets recognized safety standards for weatherproof device protection.

Key Features

  • Expandable, Multi-Configurable Design: The ML500G cover adapts to a variety of device layouts within a single 1-Gang enclosure, simplifying installation across different job-site configurations.
  • Durable Construction: Nonmetallic Polycarbonate construction resists the corrosion and weathering that can affect metal covers, making it well suited for continuous outdoor exposure.
  • In-Use Cover Function: A 1.25 in cover depth allows cords and plugs to remain connected while the weatherproof enclosure stays closed, protecting live connections from rain and debris.
  • Multi-Directional Mounting: The mounting method supports flexible orientation on the box, giving installers more placement options in the field.
  • 1-Gang Configuration: Sized for standard 1-Gang boxes, keeping installation straightforward on common outdoor and wet-location device boxes.
  • Gray Finish: A Gray housing color coordinates with typical outdoor electrical equipment and fixtures.
  • EXTRA DUTY Series Build: Part of TAYMAC's Outdoor Comforts EXTRA DUTY Series, designed for heavier-duty weatherproof performance beyond standard covers.

TAYMAC ML500Z – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the TAYMAC ML500 in-use cover fit a standard 1-gang outdoor box?
The ML500 is sized for standard 1-gang device boxes, so it mounts on common outdoor and wet-location 1-gang boxes. Mounting is multi-directional, which lets you orient the cover to suit the box position on the wall rather than being locked into one direction.
2) Can a cord stay plugged in with the ML500 cover closed?
That is what it is built for. The ML500 is an in-use (while-in-use) cover with a 1.25 in depth, so plugs and cord ends stay inside the closed enclosure and the connection stays protected from rain and debris. Bulky transformer-style plugs need that depth checked against the plug body.
3) What colors does the TAYMAC ML500 weatherproof cover come in, and what are the part numbers?
Three: gray is ML500G, white is ML500W, and bronze is ML500Z. The housing color is the only difference between them, so property managers standardizing across a building can pick the one that blends with existing exterior devices and order the same cover everywhere.
4) Will the ML500 work over a switch, or only a receptacle?
Both. The ML500 is a multi-configurable cover intended for outdoor protection of receptacles and switches, and the expandable design adapts to different device layouts inside the single 1-gang opening.
5) Is the ML500 metal or plastic, and will it corrode near a pool?
Nonmetallic polycarbonate, not metal. That is the reason to choose it for pool decks, patios, and landscape circuits, where salt and chlorine air attack metal covers and painted finishes.
6) What is the difference between an EXTRA DUTY in-use cover like the ML500 and a standard flip-lid weatherproof cover?
A standard flip-lid cover only keeps water out when nothing is plugged in; the lid cannot close over a cord. The ML500 is an in-use type with 1.25 in of depth, so it stays closed and weatherproof with a cord connected. If the outlet will have something plugged in permanently (holiday lighting, pumps, trickle chargers, landscape timers), you need the in-use cover, not the flip lid.
