Abstract
An outlet box comprises a box body and a lid. The box body defines an internal space and has a lid opening permitting access to the internal space. The lid is releasably attachable to the lid opening of the body in a closed configuration, which prevents access to the internal space, and releasably attachable to an external retaining tab of the body in an open configuration, which permits access to the internal space through the lid opening. An attaching mechanism may optionally be used to releasable attach the lid to the external retaining tab, in the open configuration, and to prevent manual relative rotation of the lid with respect to the lid opening in the closed configuration. A gasket may be co-molded with the lid. The external retaining tab may extend from the base wall and has elongated mounting slots for receiving a mounting mechanism. The elongated mounting slots permit relative movement of the box body with respect to the mounting mechanism when in a semi-tightened position.
