Abstract
A vapor barrier cover for installation to an electrical box in the rough-in phase of construction. The vapor barrier cover includes a flange with an opening having an inner periphery and a body extending from the inner periphery of the flange. The body includes walls extending to a front edge. A front wall extending from the front edge includes a front opening and a rearward extending wing. Installation of the vapor barrier cover enables inspection and testing for air-tightness around the periphery of the electrical box prior to the final phase of construction and without the need for a gasket.
