The cover can also serve as a single-gang wall plate when needed. Galvanized steel construction provides durability in standard indoor environments.
Capacity and headroom
The cover accommodates two gangs and includes captive screws with rounded corners for secure mounting. It meets 2014 NEC Article 250.146(A) requirements, eliminating the need for a bonding jumper when installed with crushed corners.

Questions about this item
Will the 2.141 in. diameter receptacle opening fit the 30-50A outlet I already have installed?
Yes, the cover is designed for a 30-50A receptacle with a 2.141 in. diameter opening, matching standard configurations for that amperage range.
How can I verify the cover meets the 2014 NEC Article 250.146(A) grounding requirement after installation?
The crushed-corner design and captive screws provide the required grounding path without a separate bonding jumper, so a secure mount to a grounded box confirms compliance.
Does the poly-bag include mounting screws for the receptacle, or do I need to buy them separately?
Required hardware for mounting the receptacle is packed in the poly-bag with the cover, so no separate screw purchase is needed.
