Abstract
An outdoor electrical device cover includes a lid having top, bottom and side walls with a laterally projecting flange having a peripheral skirt. A continuous channel is formed between the skirt and an inner rail of the lid flange. The lid is hinged to a base which includes top, bottom and side walls having a peripheral flange with a continuous channel. When the lid is closed, an inner rail of the lid flange seats in the base channel and an outer rail of the base flange seats in the lid channel to seal the electrical device from water penetration. At least one frangible panel provided in a wall of the lid is broken away to open a portal for an electric cord passageway into the interior of the cover when the lid is closed. A canopy arch flange overlies the passageway to shield against water entering through the open passageway.
