MKG420CS Nonmetallic 15A GFCI Weatherproof Cover Kit vs TayMac 1-Gang Weatherproof In-Use Cover
Overall winner: TayMac 1-Gang Weatherproof In-Use Cover
Key Differences
Product A (TayMac/Hubbell 1-Gang) is an extra-duty die-cast aluminum in-use weatherproof cover with high ratings and broad 8-in-1 configuration options, making it better for heavy-duty and varied applications. Product B (TayMac WRTR GFCI) is a nonmetallic GFCI/tamper-resistant outdoor cover with slightly lower ratings and some reported GFCI durability concerns, so it suits standard tamper-resistant GFCI outlets where metal construction and extra-duty rating aren’t required
