One of the best vinyl clad electrical boxes I've found!

Installed 3 of these. 2 in new locations and 1 in place of the existing externally installed box. super easy. There is everything you need. All you need is a cord and an outlet. Looks great and has a really clean profile on the siding. Good that the covers are interchangeable.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

Clean, stylish and sleek design

This open electrical box is just what I was looking for. This is a very clean, stylish and sleek design that I wanted for my outdoor entertaining space. I could only get chunky electrical boxes at big hardware stores. I am considering replacing all of my outdoor switch boxes with an Arlington outdoor switch box.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Volume

Worked great on our existing siding.

We used this on an existing vinyl siding to install an outlet for a landscape lighting transformer. Installation was pretty easy and simple. I deducted a star for "strength" because the outlet cover ripped before we could install it. Can't comment on waterproofing yet, but the box looks great and installation was easy.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Doubtful

"Cool, simple and dainty " - my electrician

Built a new house and decided to try these models instead of the typical composite versions at the local hardware store. It was easy to install, 3 installed in less than 5 minutes. A week later, electricians came to install outlets and fixtures. They spend about 10 minutes around them talking about how cool, simple and stylish they are. I definitely recommend them. Much simpler and more beautiful than standard outdoor sockets.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Lots of stuff

Good, strong and looks sharp

Used when living in my workshop. The old drawer lid looked shabby and I wanted something that would seal better than the standard outdoor drawer lid. This device actually REPLACES the control box. Keep that in mind when using it to replace the old one. Quickly sand it, apply a high adhesion primer and paint to match the trim. Looks very nice, the lid closes better than others I've used. My only complaint is the tiny indented black lids that fit all the way to the bottom edge. Pull them out when

Pros
  • Good item
Cons
  • Some problems

Excellent durability outdoor socket

This is a massive outdoor socket for new construction. I used one as siding and put a Hardie Plank on top. It's far from the wall (even after the boards) but not far enough to be a problem. I'm glad I came across this product while looking for something different. 5 pieces installed. Thanks to the wide flange on the outside, they are extremely strong and deep. One of the best electro boxes I have ever installed for an external box. I poured sealant under the flange, wrapped it in duct tape andโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Transparent cover.
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

Good looking, well made

Looks great. I went to the store to buy regular ones and hated how bulky and clunky they looked. They would stick out so far and just look awful. I went to the Revain store and found these. The price is actually better than all the stuff you would have to buy in a store because you save yourself the hassle of buying a mounting plate and box and just buy it. There are no jacks in the kit but there are 2 pads. New fairing installed, looks good. Note that you'll have to cut the sheathing orโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Fits into the wall for less outside visibility
Cons
  • Available in white only

Looks much better - installs and works great!

These outlets are a lot better than the old fashioned metal outer covers or the giant yellowed waterproof box covers that I have replaced. Although sold as new build, if you are familiar with vinyl siding you can actually replace your existing J-Block with this box. I have used this box on both new builds and retrofits and will only use this box for outdoor sockets from now on. I was wondering why it shows this with two bezels. They are slightly smaller than the standard bezel to fit in thisโ€ฆ

Pros
  • No gaskets required
Cons
  • Very expensive
