Looking for SS WP plates

[bkludecke]

I've got a client that is building an outdoor kitchen. There are recepts & switches in the back splash and he wants weatherproof stainless plates for the device trimout. Anyone know where I can find 'em??

Have you checked the P&S website, they used to have them in the now discontinued "Sierra" line . Now that I have written this, they do have some.

If you need weatherproof plates, there's a real good chance you're going to need bubble covers too. No?

Figured I could find something in marine, but it took a bit.

Take a look at this:

Then click on: Marine: Electrical: Adapters, Plugs, and Receptacles
and scroll down to FS cover

Hope this is on a McMansion - as these babies aren't cheap. Afterall, an outdoor kitchen, probably got a 50' yacht out in the back.

Wow, that's really cool. I'm not so sure I would be able to personally spring for a 53 dollar device cover, but even regular stuff is getting up there. I paid $9 on Friday for a switch/GFCI RS cover today.

As in a plain stamped steel cover? Or a WP cover? $9 seems about $8 too high for an RS cover.

You got it. Just a regular Raco RS cover.

I guess steel prices have increased a lot more than I thought.

Thanks for the info. The boxes are mounted horizontal which makes it even tougher to find something.

As far as the "bubble cover" requirement. I do agree, but our AHJ has not been enforcing that rule for these outdoor kitchens here. This IS California after all. I think we just adopted the 1953 NEC.:grin:
