A:  Although this cover will keep most weather out mounted vertically, it is not listed by UL for that purpose. I don't recommend using vertically.You can buy a vertical listed cover. It is hinged from the top when mounted in the vertical position. Better yet, buy an "in use" cover. it keeps the receptacle protected from the elements even with a cord plugged in.

A:  I used mine to cover outlet plugs. I don’t think this cover will function properly if it is used to cover switches.

A:  Just outlets. The cover fits very snug over the opening which would not allow room for the cover to close if there were a switch in between.

A:  This is a outlet. They do make covers for switches

A:  I bought mine for outlets. I just don't think you could use them for switches because of the shape of them. They would not close all the way because the switch would protrude out to far and not let the cover close tightly.

A:  just outlet's not switches
