Taymac PRBA400G Plastic Round Adapter Review

Check the existing round box for a suitable depth for an outlet. I had to remodel mine a bit. But it worked very well for my needs.

Not suitable for commercially available round outdoor sockets. Only one screw could be screwed in at a time. The other screw hole did not match. The adapter also wasn't wide enough to fully cover the sides of the receiver.

It's really just a single piece of lightweight plastic with some sort of gum on one side. The price is prohibitive, but I couldn't find anything like this in any major store. I think I'm glad he's here, but I can't help but feel like I've been overpaid.

This adapter did not work. Firstly it didn't fit properly in the round box, the gasket never worked properly, it was misaligned by 1/8 inch which was enough to let water in. Second, it was flimsy, the hose didn't fit the GFCI socket I was trying to use. All in all it was very frustrating. I cracked it trying to install.

Doesn't fit in round metal weather box I need it for. The plastic piece is almost big enough, but the foam gasket doesn't reach the rim, leaving a gap. Can't tell if it fits in a modern plastic box or not. The quality is normal - if it would fit I would use it. The product description does not indicate whether this adapter is only suitable for use with plastic boxes.

For unknown reasons, all outlets outside of my home were installed in round (lighting) junction boxes, so the outlets didn't cover them properly. These overlays made it possible (finally) to seal the boxes against water and insects, as well as to fit proper waterproof covers for the outside sockets. The price is really unfortunate for what they are (I was tempted to buy a 3D printer and make them myself) but if they are what you need they will do the trick.

it was very hard to find I'm a little upset they don't make more versions of this. I wanted to take a porch lantern and turn it into a switched outlet so I could hook up some lights on my deck. It worked, but any outlet plates/covers probably don't close the gap around the outlet because it's so wide. . I had to put some silicone on the outside so I could protect the damn thing from the weather.

I was expecting this to cover a round outside light box, one that will hold a porch or spotlight to replace the outside light with a socket on a switch. That didn't happen. There are no holes to attach the lid to the box, at least not the ones I have at home, and the lid was smaller even with the holes. The cost is really ridiculous. Hardware stores sell them in packs of 10 for about three times the price of a unit. Mine ended up in the trash.

I was hoping this would replace some of the oversized metal covers over the fan, but since there are only 2 connection points (instead of 4) it doesn't seal. IF it was metal or some strong composite material it might work better or be a little bigger than a round box. In my case, it was a small hole between the siding and the gasket, but water entered the electrical box. Unfortunately I can't find any other solution. Considering the cost, it's not worth the money. You may have to make your own…
