The present invention is directed to a weatherproof electrical outlet box assembly for shielding and protecting electrical components from moisture comprising a faceplate for attaching to an outlet box, the faceplate being substantially planar, and perimetrically bounded by a substantially rectangular side edge, the faceplate having at least one aperture for receiving an electrical component and; the faceplate including a first hinge socket and a second hinge socket extending respectively from the side edge in substantially orthogonal orientation. The weatherproof electrical outlet box assembly further including a cover having a front wall, an opposed open end and a substantially rectangular perimetrical side wall therebetween defining a cover interior, the side wall having a rim bounding the open end, the cover including at least one access port through the side wall adjacent the open end for providing separate passageways into the interior of the cover; the cover including a first hinge pin and a second hinge pin extending respectively from the side wall adjacent the open end in substantially orthogonal orientation; and the cover being pivotally affixed to the faceplate by operative engagement of the hinge socket with the hinge pin of corresponding orientation and movable between an open and a closed position and wherein the hinge pin and the hinge socket that are not in operative engagement are not aligned.
