in-use covers

[infinity]

I can't tell you how many "Bubble" covers I've seen where the "Bubble"
has been broken off. I think that plastic bottle would have 100 times the
lifespan of a cheap "Bubble" cover. Of course,not as pretty.

This was on a street in NYC. There were about 5 trees and every single one had the cover broken off and a nice weatherproof bottle over it.

Did the trees vandalize the "In-Use Covers?" Man, even the trees are
tough in NYC.

he couldnt cite a code section but had heard that when the new wr outlets are enforced in 2011 that it would be a change then

2011? This is in the 2008 NEC.

Is that a Pepsi or Coke WP cover?

They said the requirement has been delayed till 2011 to give all the manufacturers time to develop the product.

Who said that?

There are weather resistant receptacles on the market right now.

Is that cover UV-resistant?

Is that cover UV-resistant?

I don't know but the environmentalists tell me that it will last like 10,000 years in a land fill.

Yea, but threre isn't too much UV light below grade.

sorry for the delayed response but they said it had been delayed till 2011 because not all manufacturs have had time to design the product.

Unless there is a local amendment, as far as I know there is no delay on the requirement for weather resistant receptacles.
