1-Gang Vertical Weatherproof Cover

The Taymac MX5280S is a die-cast aluminum cover designed to protect a single GFCI receptacle in outdoor or damp locations. It mounts vertically and meets NEC and UL listed standards for safety compliance.

Low-profile die-cast aluminum construction

The low-profile body measures 2 1/2 inches wide by 6 1/8 inches high with a depth of 2 3/4 inches. An attached polyethylene foam gasket and included mounting hardware provide a secure, weather-resistant seal around the device.

Replaces damaged or non-compliant outlet covers

This cover upgrades installations where an existing cover is cracked, missing a gasket, or not rated for in-use wet conditions. The jump is worth it when a vertical GFCI receptacle requires code-compliant protection while a plug remains connected.
