Instructions shows several ways of mounting the coupler: under eaves, on the mast, on a wall and on the floor with the input/outputs faced down. It appears it can be mounted outside, I have only used it inside.

The product will install outdoors, but must be mounted so that water will not pool inside the housing.

no it is not weatherproof, I had mine outside in the environment and it filled with water, so you need to insulate it !

While there are no waterproof markings on the unit (I just checked), I don't think I would stick it outside unprotected. I think it would be fine if it was protected from moisture.

I use mine in a covered patio outside so it is not exposed to the elements. Be waterproof but they do work pretty good they function very well very happy with mine

I'm not sure. There was no mention of this in the installation instructions. Mine is mounted on a door that is covered by a porch but the rain is often blown in. I have had not problems.

Yes, this product appears to be waterproof. However, I am not sure how long it would last outside. My guess is you might need a heavier product.

Bob, I think any electrical component with the contacts exposed to the weather would not be suitable to be used outside. You would have to use parts specially designed for outside use.

Yes it is designed for outdoor installation. The base has three holes to attach it to a structure.

I don't think so, we have a patio cover so the rain hasn't got to it. But judging by the quality of it, I wouldn't say its weatherproof

It is not weatherproof. It may protect from light drizzle. Honestly, mine busted within a few months.

I would not mount this kit outdoors. Certainly not expect it to hold up in severe weather.Contrary to C. Schafer's response, however, this kit DOES have a seal around the door. The box is all plastic though, so with 2 hinges and 1 latch, a good seal would not be made. Judging by the design, I would say this kit was designed to be weather 'resistant', not weather 'proof'. I can personally vouch that it can be left out in a light to moderate rainfall and survive it just fine, maybe a couple small areas that a drop or two made it through.On a side note, if the mounting outside isn't a deal breaker for you, this is a very nice kit for the price!

This product is for indoor use only. After installing this product, it doesn't appear to be sealed enough for any type of weather.

I do not believe it is weatherproof. It works fine sitting on a dashboard under the window glass...

It's made of aluminum and has a plastic cover so it should be fine as long as the screws you use to install it are made for outdoor use.

it should be protected from rain and freezing temperatures.so it can be mounted outdoors but in a weather protected location (ie. a box). used mine under a tarp one summer.
