I've got a customer wanting "tombstones' for outdoor cord and plug equipment (pumps, birdbath heater.)
Does this phrase mean anything to anyone? I'm not familiar with it.
Like Ryan, the tombstones that I am aware of are the floor receptacles that are above the surface of the floor in metal housing, most often seen in office spaces.
Today they house not only power, but low voltage usage also.
Use em all the time in office spaces. As Pierre says, with a partition we put voice and data in them too.
Probably what he's talking about is a Bell box & cover on the end of a piece of pipe sticking out of the ground. Why don't you ask him?
I tried to insert a picture here but am too tired to figure it out. The picture of the pedestal tombstone can be found at the Hubbell site, product HPWFR80A Pedestal, Double sides, 2-gang.
They are still used in areas of high traffic where physical protection is desired.
