��410-57.Receptacles in Damp or Wet Locations
` (a)Damp Locations.A receptacle installed outdoors in a location protected from the weather or in o er damp
locations sha11 have an enclosure for the receptacle that is weatherproof when the receptac e is covered
p ___ (attachment plug cap not inserted and receptacle covers closed). I
An installation suitable for wet locations shall also be considered suitable for da.mp locations.
�
A receptacle shall be considered to be in a location protected from the weather where located under roofed open
porches, canopies,marquees, and the like, and will not be subjected to a beating rain or water runoff.
(b)Wet I,ocations. I � -
1.A receptacle installed in a wet location where the product intended to be plugged into it is not attended
while in use(e.g., sprinkler system controllers, landscape lighting,holiday lights, etc.) shall have an enclosure ,
� that is weatherproof with the aitachment plug cap inserted or removed.!r,�c���a��
� 2. A receptacle installed in a.wet location where the product intended to be plugged in o it will be attended
while in use (e.g.,portable tools, etc.) shall have an enclosure:that is weatherproof when �e attachmen�plug cap
is removed.��c-�,�,�a�� �
(c)Bathtub and Shower Space.A receptacle shall not be installed within a bathtub or shower space. ;Cmnmeiiia'iy�
(d) Protection for Floor Receptacles. Standpipes of floor receptacles shall a11ow floor-cleaning equip�ent to
be operated without damage to receptacles. ;
(e)Flush Mounting with Faceplate. The enclosure for a receptacle installed in an outlet b�x flush-moiunted on
- a wall surface shall be made weatherproof by means of a weatherproof faceplate assembly that provides a
" watertight connection between the plate and the wall surface. i
