In-use covers

[dnem]

Again I suggest these people pay these tradesmen to find a code compliant solution.
The code does not require a 'bubble cover' that is a design decision typically made by the electrician.
The code only requires an enclosure that is weatherproof if the receptacle is installed in a wet location.
A bubble cover is not the only answer.
You can go recessed like the Arlington product or they could get creative and have the carpenters build an ascetically pleasing hide away for the outlet so it is only in a damp location.
You should see the metal 'bubble covers' I have had to install to cover 30 amp twist locks. Huge and still did not shut to well.

Yeah, I know you're right. When you're in business for yourself , you can think like that and make those kinds of decisions and act on them. But when your job brings you face to face with the decisions of every electrician in the county, you start to loss faith in the determination of a large percentage of the contractors to be committed to following the code after the inspections are done.

I feel your disgust. But we install for now, and inspect for now... what contractors or other individuals do later is there own problem and we can let them wallow in their own misery when the it hits the fan.
