Review on Hubbell 5180 7 2 Hole Weatherproof Device by Peter Green

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Hubbell-Bell 5180-7 Weatherproof Case

As shown. Almost what I was looking for. Unfortunately. The lids don't snap into the open position like on previous models. It's also made from a lighter material while still remaining metallic. PRO: Looks good. Fits well. Works CONS: - Doesn't latch - Doesn't open at least 90º I have a simple device with a visual socket that I can see up close or far away by just plugging it into a socket, but since only the lids open for about 75º80º, I can't connect this or other items with a similar circumference. Someone said it's not weatherproof if it locks in the open position BUT since it has to be opened when plugged in, the weatherproof feature was still off at the time as well. I only expect the weather protection feature to work when it's closed - end of debate.

Pros
  • Electrical
Cons
  • Slim
