00:08Hubbell TAYMAC has added another option to our line of large capacity,

00:12weatherproof in-use device covers with the extra duty Jumbo MM7420.

00:18At five inches deep. it's our deepest non metallic cover yet.

00:21And it has our patented adapter system which covers 55 different device configurations.

00:26Plus it's lockable with a full size padlock for safety reasons.

00:30The national electric code requires that all device covers in a potentially wet location

00:35must be rated extra duty and be weatherproof while the cord is still plugged in. With a

00:40standard size cover, remaining weatherproof just isn't possible when plugging in a bigger

00:44cord or perhaps multiple cords at once. This is a growing concern with the rise in

00:49popularity of electric cars which typically use a much larger plug.

00:52The MM7420 is a prefered solution for this and many other situations that routinely or even

00:58occasionally need to handle a bigger plug or perhaps multiple thicker cords at once like for

01:04pools and spas or RV hookups.

01:06Today, I'm going to run you through a typical install of the MM7420. As with any electrical

01:12work, make sure the power is off at the breaker here.

01:15I've got a regular two gang bubble cover. Back when it was installed,

01:19it met the weatherproof in use requirements.

01:21But starting in 2014, an extra duty rating is required on these covers.

01:25So while I'm at it, I can upgrade the plug capacity as well as the rating. First,

01:30I'll remove the old cover.

01:35The MM 7420 includes mounting screws, an attached gasket instructions and adapter plates

01:42for various devices.

01:44It comes preconfigured with two duplex openings, but if installing on a different shaped device

01:49like GFCI, toggle switches or round receptacles, then I would simply use one of the included

01:54adapters. There's even an adapter so that this two gang

01:57assembly could be flush mounted to a one gang box.

02:01Simply remove the pre installed adapter configure the base per the instructions and

02:05snap the appropriate adapter into the backside.

02:08We're installing over duplex devices. So we don't need to change the adapters.

02:12This circuit's already GFCI protected upstream, so there's no need for one at this location.

02:17Covers include indentations to be drilled out for use in alternate box mounting.

02:22There are also device mounting holes but will be box mounting directly to the electrical

02:26device, which is preferred because it's a faster easier install start by backing out the

02:32four device screws about 3/8 of an inch.

02:35If installing on a rough surface, apply a quarter inch bead of silicone calk between the

02:39gasket and the wall surface. Align the key holes on the base with the screws,

02:45then slide the base over the device and fasten the screws.

02:49Compress the gasket by tightening the screws until snug, but be careful not to over tighten.

02:55And that's it. The installation is complete for continuous use.

02:59Snap out the desired cord ports. Direct the cords through the port and close the cover,

03:04ensuring the latch snaps shut and that's all there is to it.

03:07The device is now protected and meets the latest electrical code even with a large cord

03:11plugged in. So there you have it.

03:14The MM7420 is a code compliant innovative solution when capacity for larger plugs or

03:20multiple cords is a contributing factor.

03:22Also look for these other large capacity, weatherproof in use covers. The MM720, a popular

03:29one gang extra duty Jumbo cover. The MX7200, an extra duty metallic two gang cover.

03:38A RMX5280, an expandable lower profile metallic one gang cover.

03:45So for any of your outdoor electrical needs, look to Hubbell TAYMAC and Bell for proven and

03:50innovative weatherproof solutions.
