Abstract
A rain tight universal electrical box cover that will attach to most pre-existing, standard sized, flush or surface mounted electrical boxes and convert it into a rain tight outdoor electrical enclosure. The box cover accepts pre-existing standard electrical devices such as receptacles, switches, timers, and other similar devices and their pre-existing cover plates thereby eliminating the need to provide special provisions or numerous designs to accommodate the variety of electrical devices as is required with many of the popular electrical box covers that are commonly used in the industry today.
