1-Gang Vertical Weatherproof Cover

The Bell 5027-0 is a single-gang vertical cover designed to protect outdoor receptacles from the elements. It fits standard FS or FD weatherproof mounting boxes and carries a NEMA 3R rating for rain and sleet resistance. The die-cast zinc construction provides durability for exterior installations. This cover suits electricians and homeowners weatherproofing outdoor outlet locations.

Self-Closing Lid with Neoprene Gasket

The cover features a self-closing lid mechanism that automatically shuts when not in use to maintain the weatherproof seal. A neoprene gasket is included to create a tight barrier against moisture ingress around the cover perimeter. Mounting screws are also supplied for direct attachment to the box. These bundled components eliminate the need to source sealing hardware separately.

Verify Box Compatibility and Mounting Orientation

Confirm your existing mounting box is an FS or FD type weatherproof box before ordering. The cover requires a vertical mounting orientation and measures 4.5 inches in height by 2.75 inches in width. Ensure the installation location accommodates these dimensions and the 1.5-inch depth. This cover is not suited for horizontal mounting or multi-gang configurations.

Questions about this item

Will the neoprene gasket need periodic replacement on this 5027-0 cover?

The neoprene gasket is included with the cover; outdoor exposure to UV and temperature cycles will eventually degrade it, so plan to inspect and replace the gasket when it loses elasticity or shows cracking.

What limits continuous outdoor use of the die-cast zinc cover first?

The NEMA 3R rating protects against rain and sleet but not against prolonged submersion or high-pressure water jets, so standing water or direct spray is the practical limit.

Does the self-closing lid on the 2.75 in wide cover affect heat buildup inside the box?

The self-closing lid seals the enclosure when not in use, trapping any heat generated by devices inside; the gray finish and zinc material do not actively dissipate heat.
