Really nothing to it. It’s the same as any other receptacle installation. Time will tell how it holds up but it looks good and I don’t foresee any issues.

Very easy to put together and install.My only concern is the tabs that are used for mounting to the side of the building…they appear a bit thin, and I am just worried they may rust or fail in the future.To install this more securely I would suggest screwing the box directly to the building.

Easy enough to install. Comes with everything you need EXCEPT silicon to seal it. Depending on how tight you secure it and what surface you’re securing it to, the styrofoam on the back may be enough.

Good choice for a new or replacement set up for outdoor power. Box is easy to mount in either vertical or horizontal position. Clear bubble cover leaves room for extension cord thru the bottom. GFI is simple to install with included instructions.As with all outdoor power outlets a little basic wiring knowledge is a good thing.Investing in a basic circuit tester (about 5 bucks) gives piece of mind.Nice kit.

The TAYMAC Extra Duty Weatherproof Cover/GFCI Combo Exterior Electrical Socket will be an upgrade for my home's exterior. This unit was very complete. All I had to supply was the electric line to connect to and the usual wire connectors and tools to install through the exterior siding on my house. If you are familiar with electrical work and familiar with local codes, you should be able to install it without much trouble. I had a friend who assisted me with some of the installation. This unit is much better than the original outside box [now meets Local Codes] and I will be replacing it shortly with a new TAYMAC design. I recommend this TAYMAC unit. Be sure to follow good practices and get help, if you need it. PapaBear1

utter garbage
installed this piece of junk only to find that the outlet was defective with an open ground. reinstalled the original non-gfci outlet and no open ground. after an hour round trip drive to home Depot I installed a leviton GFCI outlet with no issues.

    Having an outside receptacle box that can be used safely in wet and damp locations is a great benefit. Hubbell has done just that with this GFCI receptacle and weather tight cover. Being able to mount it horizontally or vertically makes it a great choice if you will be replacing an existing receptacle. I would have rated it excellent had there been enough room for a heavy gauge cord to be plugged in and the cover close easily. ( I use a 10 gauge 100' cord outside) For an average homeowner, this box is an excellent choice for outside access of 15 amp electrical power.

    It was difficult to mount as the inside of the cover had knobs that I had to grind off in order for the receptacle not to be crooked. I also had to find two longer screws to mount the receptacle because the ones provided were too short. After mounting, I tried to plug an extension cord in but couldn't because the safety flaps were stuck solid. I had to take a screwdriver and bang them loose. Not a good practice to stick a screwdriver into an electrical plug but it worked to free up the flaps.
