The 2008 National Electrical Code^® (NEC) requires all non-locking 15 and 20 ampere, 125- and 250-volt receptacles installed in wet and damp locations to be weather-resistant receptacles.

Cracked covers or corrosion can cause premature receptacle failure in challenging environments, and P&S Weather-Resistant Receptacles are built to perform in such conditions. Weather-Resistant Receptacles are required for a variety of residential and commercial applications including outdoors, porches, under canopies, wash down areas, and more.

All receptacles are cULus listed, and they're listed to the weather-resistant supplement of UL498, meeting demanding UL^® requirements including:

	Ultraviolet light exposure test
	Cold impact test
	Accelerated aging test
	Stringent material requirements for current carrying parts, wire binding screws and mounting straps to ensure superior corrosion resistance

Receptacles installed in wet and damp locations still require weatherproof covers. The product line includes a variety of duplex, decorator and specification grade receptacles in commercial and residential versions. The residential varieties are also Tamper-Resistant, letting plugs in while preventing children from inserting keys and other objects. The Tamper-Resistant design is also required in residential installations by the 2008 NEC.
