Hi all!

Are these type of covers 2014 code compliant anymore?

I have a pool house and tennis pavilion that has a roof but no walls so the switches and receptacles will be exposed to the elements. I personally see it as being considered a damp location and thought that 4G "snap" cover would be fine. It would house 3 switches and 1 receptacle. I would fuse both circuits with the dual function AFCI/GFCI homeline breakers. What are your thoughts?

Also for the tennis pavilion I was thinking of using one of these covers.

Greetings,

Look at 406.9(A) and (B) - Determine your location "Damp or Wet Location" and follow the (A) for Damp and (B) for Wet and you should find your answer with regards to Receptacles and for the switches aspect visit 404.4(A) or (B) depending on your switch mounting aspect.

Or I could just tell you....then what fun would that be.

Have Fun!

PS> The shown switch covers are fine.....perfectly acceptable. The receptacle covers you show.....refer to my post above and determine the location and go from there.
