Abstract
A power inlet box includes a base, a front cover having an opening formed therein that is removably coupled to the base, and a cover cap pivotably connected to the front cover to temporarily cover the opening. The base, front cover, and cover cap define an interior. The base and the front cover may be made of different materials, for instance, a metallic base and a plastic front cover. The base and the front cover may also be made of the same material, such as plastic. Electrical outlet inserts and electrical inlet inserts may be releasably inserted into the opening. When the power inlet box is not being used, the cover cap may be pivoted to a closed position in which the opening is covered. Additionally, a window may be formed in the front cover to enable visual inspection within the box. The window may be substantially translucent or it may be substantially clear.
