Abstract
For an electrical box having a plaster ring, which has a projecting portion defining a generally rectangular aperture, a protective cover having a front panel and flanges is mountable so as at least substantially to cover the generally rectangular aperture. A top flange has two lateral portions, each spaced by a slit from an upper edge of a lateral flange. A bottom flange has two lateral portions, each spaced by a slit from a lower edge of a lateral flange. Each lateral flange has an outer surface that is planar except for a recess adapted to receive a tool inserted between such lateral flange and an adjacent edge of the generally rectangular aperture.
