ML450G 1-Gang 16-in-1 Flat Expandable Nonmetallic Weatherproof Outlet Cover

Matches gutters and trim of the house. Easy to install and much better looking.

I LIKE IT! DOES WHAT IT NEEDS TO

easy to install. low profile. good buy.

Not the easiest to install in overhead applications..and a little tricky to get the mounting screws to match when sliding over the outlet screws.As others have mentioned, can really only use one cord while in use..the “port” where the cord(s) exit from receptacle is just not that large.The gasket does expand a decent amount and appears to be keeping water out while in use.

Also, like the expanding cover for bigger plugs. But Works best with low profile plugs.

Great cover for in use application.Works well for single heavy gauge extension cord but not sure how well it would work for 2 cords of heavy gauge.Cover has a durable accordion gasket that allows it to expand to accommodate the cord coming out the back of the male plug and to exit out of a slot in the lower corner of the cover.The cover will snap back into place when not needed, so you don't see the accordion gasket.The overall cover snaps and locks into place but can be easily opened to allow access to plug the cord(s) in. However, I found that with a large or heavy gauge cord, that the cover may not fully lock back into place or may sit a little 'cock-eyed' when it is snapped into place due to the cord passing through the slot in the corner, or pushing out on the accordion cover.This cover is a nice option to use instead of the big, ugly, clear plastic 'bubble' in-use covers that are more likely to get broken from bumps by yard equipment, etc..Overall looks to be a good quality cover for an 'in-use' application such as a cord going to a landscape lighting power supply or a fountain pump (ie. something that will be plugged in and left for a long time), but if you just need a cover to keep water out of the receptacle and allow quick and easy power connection, then there are other covers that I think may work better....

What I liked most about the product was its ease of install. I didn't even need their hardware. I just recycled the screws mounting the sockets to the box. The only minor negative is the foam backer could probably be a bit more robust. I haven't caulked it yet, so I am hoping there aren't any gaps left.

These are a no-brainer for anyone not doing new construction. If you're doing new construction and can fit recessed boxes then those are really great but if you have a flush box then this is the best option for most people because it is low profile most of the time but is code compliant to leave items plugged-in when you need to (like holiday decorations, etc.) Great job folks!
