Model WP1010HMXD

Single-gang vertical Model

WP1010MXD, WP1250MVXD and

A grounding wire is provided for all models. The mounting screw that holds the receptacle or light switch should pass through the ring terminal on the end of the wire.

Double-gang Model WP1030MXD and

WP1250MXD

This double-gang cover is designed for installation on double-gang junction

boxes. If installing on a non-metallic junction box, you will need to use the

grounding wire (as shown on the Optional Grounding illustration). If the junction

box is non-metallic, a separate ground will need to be run and connected to

the grounding wire by cutting and removing the spade terminal, stripping

the ground wire and making a pigtail connection. Also note for single-gang

installation you will need to purchase an Intermatic insert model #WP101 for

duplex receptacle or WP102 for GFCI application.

The insert for model WP1030MXD and WP1250MXD may be oriented for

horizontally or vertically mounted receptacles and is designed for double duplex

or double GFCI applications.

This die cast cover can be used outdoors or in other wet locations when cover

is closed (protects receptacles while in-use for unattended applications).

The cover is UL Listed, CSA certified, rated Type 3R and meets 2014 National

Electrical Code requirements covered by Article 406.9 (B)(1).

Installation

Follow the steps listed below, while referring to the illustrations for your

particular model.

1. If installation is being done on an existing receptacle(s), remove the

existing cover and discard.

2. The mounting screws that hold the receptacle or GFCI to the junction box

can be removed. Do not remove the receptacle wiring connections.

3. Select the correct insert for your application and press into base.

4. Locate the gasket as required for the installation. The gasket can be

temporarily held to the back of the base/insert assembly using the

mounting hardware provided. The receptacle cover should be installed on a

smooth, flat, non-porous surface.

To ensure a weatherproof seal on irregular surfaces such as brick or cedar

siding, a 1/4" bead of non-hardening silicon caulk compound (neoprene,

urethane or polyurethane type) should be placed between the weather-

proof receptacle gasket and the mounting surface.

5. Mount the base/insert assembly and the receptacle(s) to the junction box

using two of the long screws provided (do not over-tighten).

To ensure weatherproof protection, the cover must be installed so that the

hinge points are located at the top.

6. If mounting to an outdoor junction box or FS box, use the remaining long

screws, 2 or 4 screws as required, to further secure the cover and insert

assembly to the junction box. Note that holes are located in the insert for

mounting to an FS box or any standard single-gang box. For specially

designed junction boxes, holes should be carefully drilled to line up with

the holes in the box to accommodate mounting.

7. Be sure all screws are secure but not over-tightened. Install the remaining

1 or 2 short screws into the receptacle(s) as required.

8. A hasp is provided to allow for padlocking the cover if desired.

FOR BEST PROTECTION FROM RAIN OR HUMIDITY, BE SURE TO ROUTE THE

CORDS THROUGH THE CORD OUTLETS IN THE COVER AND PRESS THE COVER

FIRMLY UNTIL IT SNAPS CLOSED OVER THE HASP.

Cover may be removed for ease of mounting and then reattached.
