00:09The MM420 the new Jumbo depth MM720 are designed for weatherproof protection while an

00:14outlet is in-use. Unlike a common flip cover, a while in-use cover can have a cord left plugged

00:20in and remain weatherproof in wet locations. The 2014 National Electric Code has new

00:25requirements that affect what type of cover can be installed on outdoor 15 and 20 amp

00:30receptacles. Basically all receptacles in a potentially wet

00:33location require a while in-use cover and it needs to meet the new UL extra duty rating.

00:39First generation bubble covers weren't rugged enough to meet the extra duty rating.

00:42So the MM420 was completely redesigned to meet the extra duty requirement.

00:47Plus we've added in some other enhancements, like the patented easy change pin which allows

00:51for easily switching the cover to a horizontal mount. A reusable cord port insert,

00:55so if desired, the port can be closed to keep out the elements or insects.

00:58A clear window for easy visual inspection of the inside,

01:01for bugs, an unplugged cord or a tripped GFCI and a larger locking latch that now fits a full

01:07size padlock. I'll be installing the MM420C which has a clear cover.

01:11Both the 420 the 720 are available in gray.

01:15Either option can also be painted to match a house or trim color.

01:18Each cover includes mounting screws, an attached gasket, instructions and adapter plates

01:23for mounting to various devices. The covers come preconfigured for a GFCI sized

01:27opening. But if installing on a different shaped device

01:29like a duplex receptacle, a toggle switch or a round receptacle,

01:33just use one of the included adapters, simply remove the pre installed adapter and snap the

01:38appropriate adapter into the backside of the base.

01:41We'll be installing over a GFCI, so there's no need to change the adapter.

01:45Of course, as with any electrical work, make sure the power is off at the breaker.

01:49Covers include indentations to drill out for alternate box mounting.

01:53There are also device mount holes but we'll be mounting directly to the electrical device,

01:57which is preferred because it's a faster easier install. Start by backing out the device screws

02:02about 3/8 of an inch.

02:05If installing on a rough surface, apply a quarter inch bead of silicone caulk between the

02:10gasket and the wall surface, align the key holes on the base with the screws,

02:14then slide the base over the device and fasten the screws. Compress the gasket by tightening

02:19the screws until snug be careful not to over tighten.

02:22That's it. Installation is complete for continuous use,

02:26remove the bottom cord, port, insert and direct the cords through the port and close the cover

02:30ensuring the latch snaps shut the MM420 the MM720 both can be mounted horizontally also.

02:36But to ensure a weatherproof installation, the easy change pin needs to move to the alternate

02:40location. This way, the cover closes downward which

02:43prevents it from inadvertently getting left open.

02:46The pin may be tight. So if necessary, push the tip of the pin with a

02:49screwdriver to release it and simply pull it out from the other side,

02:53then insert the pin into the other hinge until it snaps in place.

02:56Now ready to mount horizontally in the same manner as the vertical install again,

03:00like before, remove the bottom cord, port, insert and direct the cords through the port

03:04and close the cover, ensuring the latches snap shut.

03:07That's all there is to it. The device is now protected and meets the

03:10latest electrical code.

03:13If you don't already have a receptacle installed or if it's old and outdated,

03:16then look for one of our code guard combos that include the latest weather resistant and tamper

03:21resistant receptacle or GFCI. complete kits are also available that include

03:25a weatherproof Bell box. So for any of your outdoor electrical needs,

03:29look to Hubbell TAYMAC and Bell for proven and innovative weatherproof solutions.
