weatherproof toggle cover for combination switch

[RustyShackleford]

I'm looking for a weatherproof cover for a combination switch (two switches in one gang) that allows operation without opening a cover. Like this:

http://electrical.hardwarestore.com/14-50-weatherproof-covers/double-toggle-switch-cover-619439.aspx

... but for 1-gang.

This doesn't work because it requires opening the covers to operate the swicthes:

Home Depot has them under this Store SKU # 236224.

no, I believe he has an over/under device.....2 switches, single gang

That's correct, a duplex switch like this:

... actually to be mounted horizontally, to fit on the flat part of a piece of lapped siding, though I don't think it matters (for this issue of a weather-resistant toggle cover).

For a stack switch like you have pictured a standard weather proof receptacle cover will have to suffice.

Well the link doesn't work. Try Red Dot # CCDFS

I have never seen what the op is looking for.

Can you make the box a 2 gang

I haven't either. If I had some molding equipment, I'd try to make a model and get a co. to buy it. Would be a great product.

I will go out of my way to get toggle covers rather than bubble type. Less protrusion, easier to work, look far better.

I suppose you could get a couple of single-gang ones and do some sawing and such to fashion a prototype.

Yeah, looks like the choice will between going 2-gang (horizontal 1-gang would fit nicer on flat piece of beveled lapped siding) or using the bubble-type cover.

I would use a single gang box with a duplex receptacle weatherproof cover. For operation Raise the flipper door over which ever switch is

desired. A bubble cover protrudes away for the wall too much for my taste.

Right, flipper door, not bubble.

True, but bubble is required here ("in use" cover) on outdoor outlet, but at least that is not at chest level.
