Single-gang weatherproof switch cover
The Cantex 5133361 is a UL-listed PVC cover designed for vertical mounting on FS-series boxes. It protects a single switch in damp or outdoor locations. The grey polymeric gasket seals the opening against moisture and debris. This new component suits residential and light-commercial wiring projects.
Self-closing lid with supplied hardware
A spring-loaded lid snaps shut when the switch is not in use, maintaining the weather seal automatically. The package includes the required gaskets and mounting screws, so no separate hardware purchase is needed. Installers can complete the job with only standard hand tools. The cover fits existing FS-series boxes without modification.
Rigid PVC construction for daily exposure
The grey PVC body resists UV degradation and impact from routine handling. Its one-inch profile sits close to the mounting surface, reducing the chance of accidental damage. Vertical orientation sheds water naturally and keeps the switch accessible. The UL listing confirms compliance with standard safety requirements for wet locations.

Questions about this item
Will the polymeric gasket need replacing after years outdoors?
The cover includes a polymeric gasket and mounting screws; the gasket material is specified as polymeric third-party, so replacement timing depends on UV exposure and temperature cycles in your installation.
What limits how long the self-closing lid stays shut under constant vibration?
The lid uses a self-closing mechanism designed for vertical mounting on FS series boxes; sustained vibration can overcome the spring return, so the mechanical latch force is the practical limit.
Does the grey PVC cover get hot enough to soften in full sun all day?
The cover is moulded from grey PVC and carries a UL listing; PVC begins to soften well above typical ambient temperatures, so all-day solar heating alone will not deform it.
