How is this outlet cover installed? Do you take the existing cover plate on the outlet and then attaching it with 2 screws?

The simple answer is yes. My house had the typical flat cover outside outlets and these covers allow attaching power cords while still maintaining weather sealing. In my case for a pond aerator and a heated pad for an outside kitty.

Take the existing cover plate off and use the screw holes in the new unit to attach the new unit to the existing receptacle. It's an easy, solid, and straightforward install. You won't have any trouble in a standard outlet. Plus, it comes with instructions.

Yes - it's a very simple install, just like a cover plate. I did add a bead of caulk around the back just to make sure it was water-tight.

Yes it does. Be careful as the plastic around the two mounting keyhole slots on mine is very thin. I broke through it when attaching this box to the existing outlet.

I don't think so. I believe the decora outlets do not have the screw in the middle, which you need to mount this cover

The switch plates have the cut outs already done. All you have to do is push out the cutoffs and place the covers on. It is really sinple.

I goes directly into the plug. 1st you must remove the outlet cover, then insert this device into the outlet & lastly you must use the longer screw to secure it to the center of the outlet.

About the same as any electrical wall plate. You will need to install an electrical wall box, plastic or metal, first. I used a plastic wall box for renovation work which has the wings to hold the box in place. The big box stores sell both the HDNI plate and the wall boxes. They should be able to help you select the appropriate wall box. Connect the plate wires and in-wall wires into the wall box before securing the outlet box into the wall.

It actually fits very tightly in the outlet. It also take only one plug outlet and does not cover the second outlet on the wall plate. It saves us from using power strips which can sometime become unsightly.

Very easy to install. Just pop off the front cover; I used a butter knife under the bottom edge. Then detach the wires to the inside board. Twist the new control board wires on to wires in the wall, and put the cover (or the new front cover) back on.

There is a hole on the back of the unit, close to the bottom. Push one end of the power cord into it, and the other end with the plug, goes into the outlet.

If this unit comes unopened, then there are instructions for installation included. If you are interested in how to wire for your situation then do a "search on images" on "wiring receptacle and switch combo". There are different ways to wire this if you want the outlet to be "on" all the time.

We haven't had to do it yet but when u saw the electrician install it, it looked like there were screws on the sides! Hope this helps!

The wall plate itself connects to a standard outlet box like any other wall plate (AC outlet, cable outlet, etc..). I found a handy one at ACE hardware that you can install from the front (outside) of the wall by just cutting the hole, inserting the box, and tighten down the "molly" like tabs. Run the wires inside the wall and into the box before inserting the outlet box into the wall. I hope that helps.Take a look at "Thomas & Betts #b120r Sg Old Work Box" on Amazon for an example of the outlet box.

Yes, That is exactly right... There is a phillips head/slotted screw that mounts the unit to the outlet.

Remove the center screw from the outlet cover and pug this on over the outlet cover and then you the longer screw included to screw into the outlet center.

Hi, mine had a small screw near the plug/outlet, then you look along the opposite side on the frame. There are 2 tabs that just slide in and out from the frame. The screw holds in the fan assembly place on one side, and the tabs on the other. It's very easy.

Another plug comes with it and so does another bracket. It is very simple to change only one screw for the bracket. I changed it over in less than 5 minutes.

If you have the black wires attached to the gold screws and 2 are attached to the silver screws you are fine. the black and white wires from the power supply side need to be attached to the line side of the new outlet. (it should say this on the back of the new outlet) and the other 2 are to be attached to the Load side of the outlet. Remember that the black go to gold side and the white go to the silver side do not cross them.

i have installed 2 of these so far. No additional wall plate/cover is needed. i have not installed next to other switches, so cannot answer for that.
