Description
An electrical outlet splash and moisture cover is a transparent plastic enclosure fitted around a socket or switch faceplate. It adds a front barrier that helps reduce exposure to incidental water splashes, moisture, dust and direct contact while retaining access through a hinged lid.
The product is available as a single adhesive cover, a single screw-mounted cover and a double adhesive cover. Lower cable openings allow some plugs to remain connected while the lid is closed, provided the plug and cable fit inside without being compressed.
Important: This cover provides an additional barrier against incidental splashes and dust. It is not a sealed electrical enclosure or a substitute for an outlet certified for wet locations. No IP rating is stated, so it must not be exposed to direct spraying, immersion or standing water.
Problem and Solution
The problem: Outlets near washing areas or kitchen worktops may be exposed to humidity, dust and incidental splashes while the outlet face remains uncovered.
The solution: The clear hinged cover adds an external barrier that helps shield the outlet face from incidental splashes and dust while keeping it visible and accessible.
Features
- Transparent lid keeps the socket or switch visible.
- Helps reduce exposure to incidental water splashes, moisture and dust.
- Hinged upper lid for opening and closing access.
- Lower openings accommodate some compatible power cables.
- Available in single and double versions.
- Adhesive and screw-mounted options are available.
- Lightweight plastic construction with a clear lid and white frame.
- Designed for compatible indoor outlets.
- Helps keep the outlet face cleaner during everyday use.
Available Types
| Option | Model | Installation | Intended Fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single Adhesive | B115 | Adhesive frame fitted around an existing faceplate on a compatible surface. | Single socket or switch. |
| Single Screw-Mounted | K70 | Mounted with the outlet faceplate screws by a qualified electrician. | Single socket or switch. |
| Double Adhesive | K68 | Adhesive frame fitted around a double faceplate on a smooth, clean surface. | Double socket or adjacent socket and switch within the dimensions. |
Uses
- Covering compatible indoor outlets near areas subject to incidental splashes.
- Helping reduce dust accumulation on an outlet faceplate.
- Use in kitchens and laundry areas after the outlet location has been electrically assessed.
- Covering certain compatible wall switches or sockets.
- Keeping a connected plug visible through the transparent lid.
Installing an Adhesive Version
- Switch off the circuit at the breaker before working around the outlet.
- Measure the faceplate, plug and cable to confirm compatibility.
- Remove dust, grease and moisture from the surrounding surface and allow it to dry completely.
- Orient the cover with the hinge at the top and the cable openings at the bottom.
- Remove the adhesive liner without repeatedly touching the adhesive surface.
- Align the frame around the faceplate without obstructing the socket openings, then press evenly.
- Leave the adhesive unloaded for the time stated in the package instructions, if provided.
- Open and close the lid to verify stability and confirm that it does not interfere with the socket or cable.
Installing the Screw-Mounted Version
The screw-mounted version requires work around the outlet faceplate. The circuit must be isolated at the breaker and verified as de-energized, and installation should be completed by a qualified electrician. Do not remove the faceplate or touch internal wiring unless you are qualified to do so.
Why Choose This Cover?
It adds a clear, openable barrier around the outlet, helping reduce exposure to incidental splashes and dust while keeping the faceplate visible. Single, double, adhesive and screw-mounted choices also allow you to select the version closest to the outlet size and installation requirements.
Durability, Care and Cleaning
The product has a transparent plastic cover and white frame. The polymer type, heat-resistance rating and ultraviolet-resistance rating are not specified. With the circuit switched off, clean it using a soft, dry cloth. Never spray water or cleaner directly onto the cover or outlet, and avoid solvents that may damage the transparent surface or adhesive.
Suitable For
- Compatible indoor sockets and switches.
- Smooth, dry surfaces when using an adhesive version.
- Additional protection from dust and indirect incidental splashes.
- Kitchens and laundry areas where the outlet location complies with electrical safety requirements.
- Compatible plugs and cables that allow the lid to close without compression.
Not Suitable For
- Direct water spraying, immersion or locations where water can collect.
- Outdoor use, as no IP or weather-resistance certification is stated.
- Damaged, loose, hot, crackling or scorched outlets.
- Rough, cracked or damp surfaces when using adhesive installation.
- Oversized plugs that prevent the lid from closing or compress the cable.
- Use as a substitute for earthing, residual-current protection or a certified wet-location outlet.
