Exterior receptacles on commercial building

[jwjrw]

Tomato, tomato. That's what I meant, was WR.

Seeing as how I get so confused sooo easy here I need to know if Im dealing with full size tomatos, cherry tomatoes etc.

I dont know if the shutters in a tamper gfi add to it being a WR. I was told at parts house what I stated. But I was TOLD and dont really know...

I just did a quick google search, looks as though Cooper makes a Commercial Grade WR receptacle that is not TR. Their Residential Grade line appears to be WR/TR. Guess that answers that!

While the code doesn't require it, I usually suggest lockable covers, when they are really accessible. The homeless love it when they can find free electricity.

One guy in town said his bill wasn't out of line but that it had gone up a little and he couldn't figure out why. One night he went by his building to check on something and finds this cord running off into the bushes and finds this guy watching tv and microwaving his dinner.

Owner, EC, whoever will listen.:grin: I used to be the president of the local little league and we found out the the homeless loved our score booths because they offered shelter and electricity, I didn't mind to much until they burned one down at one of the other leagues.

I assure you that Hubbell makes a much better product. haha The TR shutters actually have nothing to do with the WR portion of a wiring device. The WR is only a UV resistant face and corrosion resistant contacts.
