N3R In-Use Cover Kit - Extra Duty 15A WRTR Self-Test GFCI Outlet, Nonmetallic 1-Gang Box, Clear In-Use Outlet Cover

A complete kit for an outdoor installation. I installed mine on my front porch and it works great. Save money by buying the kit versus buying individually.

This kit has it all! Everything you need to add a GFCI socket outside except the wire to hook it up. I started by turning off the living room power and locating a socket inside to supply the power to the outside gang box and drilled a 1/2" hole through the back of the box and the exterior wall to the outside. I attached a 14-2 wire to the inside socket and ran it through the wall to the outside. The gang box has 2 knockouts on its back that are easily punched out and I found two 1" screws to attach the gang box to the outside wall - not using the mounting ears that are supplied with the kit. (And I used an ample amount of silicon sealant on the gang box back.) Finished the installation as per the instructions, and voila! Power on the deck where an extension cord was needed before!

This is exactly what i was looking for so i can put electricity outside for my wife's hummingbird fountain and anything else i need electricity for because i have only 1 outlet and it is taken up by my pool filtration system.this one will go on side of garage by side door and then she will happy to have electricity for the fountain and or lights. Thank You Home Depot and Hubbell. I recomend them to all my friends.

This is the Taymac (Hubbell) 1-Gang outdoor receptacle kit (MKG40CS). It comes with an outdoor box, WR/TR (Weather Resistant/Tamper Resistant) 15 Amp self-test GFCI, and in-use cover with attached gasket (the cover can be closed with a power cord plugged in by removing the cord ports). Photo 1 shows you what comes in the box. If you’re looking for these parts for a job, buying the complete kit can save some money. I priced the parts separately and it came to over $32. The kit cost about $26. If you’re not an electrician, note that this kit comes with in impressive set of instructions. They are well written and well illustrated. If you have even a slight idea of what you’re doing, you should be able to install the kit. The box installs like most weatherproof boxes—you attach the mounting lugs to the back of the box then mount those to the wall (see Photo 2). Connect the wires to the GFCI next, then mount the GFCI with the screws, but don’t tighten the screws all the way (see Photo 3). Push the cover’s keyhole slots over the GFCI’s screws, shift the cover into the correct position and then tighten the screws (the gasket already attached to the cover, which is a nice touch). Photo 4 shows the GFCI after its been reset—it’s hard to see in the photo, but the green LED (on the right) is on. Photo 5 shows a heavy duty extension cord plugged in and the cover closed. The kit is very high quality and can be mounted horizontally or vertically (for horizontal installation, you remove the pin from the vertical hinge and install it in the horizontal hinge—very easy to do).

Perfect for the use required. Easy to install and very good instructions included. Recommended.

This box with cover and GFI outlet is as other reviewers have stated. The box and cover are good. The outlet tripped upon turning on the power and will not reset. The outlet is trash. You are better off to buy a box/cover and a separate GFCI outlet as you will likely need to buy an outlet sooner or later. 3 stars for the box/cover and no stars for the outlet.

Simple package, easy to install, and great online resources. Went in like a snap.
