Functions
of WR Receptacles
Weather-Resistant (WR)
receptacles offer protection from rain, snow, ice, moisture, and humidity when
properly installed in an approved weather protective or while-in-use cover. WR
receptacles are made with enhanced nylon and corrosion resistant metal
components, which makes them extra durable.
Locations
& Requirements
All receptacles installed in or
near wet and damp locations are required to be WR and installed in an approved
weatherproof enclosure. WR receptacles are for use in any residential or
commercial outdoor locations.
Devices are required to have a “WR”
marking on the face, when installed. Combination Tamper & Weather Resistant
(TR & WR) receptacles ensure safety and weather resistance in wet and damp
outdoor locations. TR/WR combination receptacle requirements may vary by
location/city.
