The present invention is directed to a weatherproof electrical outlet box
assembly for shielding and protecting electrical components from moisture
including 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 binge 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.
