Abstract
A moisture-proof electrical outlet box includes a backwall with a generally continuous sidewall member upstanding therefrom to define a generally open face at the front edges thereof with a drip rail formed on the sidewall member and surrounding the box. The drip rail is preferably located in front of the front edges of the cable-access ports formed in the sidewall member. Advantageously, a frame-like flange member is formed at the front edges of the sidewall member and adapted to provide a moisture-proof seal with the coverplate. As preferably embodied, the drip rail and the flange member are formed integrally with the sidewall member.
