Thomas & Betts E98G5FN-CAR – Frequently Asked Questions
1) I need weatherproof covers for standard outdoor duplex and GFCI outlets, not a 50 amp outlet. What should I use instead?
Step down to a 1-gang cover. ZenSupply carries the Leviton 7788-CR 1-gang self-closing weatherproof cover in glass-filled thermoplastic, the Leviton 7420-YL industrial grade 1-gang self-closing cover, the Bell Outdoor Comforts 1-gang vertical decorator cover, and the Mulberry BAC1SV 1-gang single receptacle cover. For a GFCI device mounted in an FS box, the Cantex 5133348 PVC GFCI cover is the match. The Thomas & Betts E98G5FN-CAR only suits a 50 amp receptacle.
2) I need weatherproof covers for 30 amp receptacles on a 5 inch square box - is the Thomas & Betts E98G5FN-CAR the right part?
No. The E98G5FN-CAR is configured for a 50 amp receptacle. For a 30 amp device on a 5 inch square box, the Mulberry 11525 (CV72R3330R) is a 5 inch square weatherproof cover rated 30A and supplied in packs of 100. The Thomas & Betts cover is sold each.
3) Will a Leviton 7788-CR self-closing weatherproof cover work in place of the Thomas & Betts E98G5FN-CAR?
No, they serve different receptacle openings. The E98G5FN-CAR is a weatherproof cover built for a 50 amp receptacle, in a non-metallic grey body. The Leviton 7788-CR is a 1-gang self-closing weatherproof cover in glass-filled thermoplastic, which is sized for standard 1-gang devices rather than a 50 amp configuration. Confirm the receptacle face and gang opening before swapping.
4) What should I use for a GFCI outlet on an FS box instead of a 50 amp cover?
For a GFCI device in an FS box, the Cantex 5133348 is a PVC GFCI cover made for FS box mounting. The Thomas & Betts E98G5FN-CAR is a non-metallic weatherproof cover for a 50 amp receptacle and will not accept a GFCI device face.
5) Is the Thomas & Betts 50 amp weatherproof cover metal or plastic?
Non-metallic. The E98G5FN-CAR body is a non-metallic cover in grey, which is the usual choice where corrosion is a concern or where you do not want to bond a metal cover plate.
6) Does the E98G5FN-CAR cover come with knockouts for conduit?
No knockouts. The E98G5FN-CAR is supplied with zero knockouts, so all conduit entries have to come through the box or enclosure behind it, not through the cover.
7) For a single standard receptacle outdoors, is there a simpler cover than the Thomas & Betts E98G5FN-CAR?
Yes. The Mulberry 30552 (BAC1SV) is a weatherproof 1-gang single receptacle cover, supplied in packs of 100, which suits a standard single receptacle. The E98G5FN-CAR is built around a 50 amp receptacle opening and is sold each.
8) Is the Thomas & Betts 50 amp weatherproof cover sold individually or in a case?
Sold each, so you can buy a single cover for a one-off replacement. That differs from some comparable covers we carry, such as the Mulberry BAC1SV and Mulberry 11525, which come in packs of 100.
9) What part number should I order for the Thomas & Betts grey 50 amp weatherproof receptacle cover?
Order Thomas & Betts E98G5FN-CAR. That is the manufacturer part number for the grey non-metallic 50 amp weatherproof receptacle cover, and there is only the one configuration, so there is no finish or amperage option to specify.
10) If I need knockouts in the cover, is the Thomas & Betts E98G5FN-CAR suitable?
The E98G5FN-CAR has no knockouts, so it is a sealed face for a 50 amp receptacle rather than a cover you can pierce for a cord or conduit entry. If the application calls for a hinged lid instead, the Leviton 7788-CR is a 1-gang self-closing weatherproof cover.
