TG OC-D2V-C 2-Gang Outdoor Outlet Cover, Clear Thermoplastic, Extra-Duty

The clear cover keeps a decorator-style outlet visible while helping shield it from outdoor elements. Its extra-duty enclosure is designed for use in wet locations, giving an outdoor receptacle a protective housing for everyday exposure to rain, dirt, mud and snow.

With two separate cord openings and a locking tab, the cover accommodates cords while helping keep the enclosure closed. It mounts vertically and is made for decorator/GFCI-style outlets.

Need a cover that works around connected cords, not just an outlet sitting unused? This in-use design brings that practical difference to patios, exterior walls and other outdoor outlet locations.

The essentials

The TG OC-D2V-C is a 2-gang weatherproof enclosure with a clear polycarbonate thermoplastic cover. Its dimensions are 6.4D x 13.2W x 15.5H cm, and it is designed for decorator-style receptacles, including GFCI outlets. The manufacturer also lists TG USB and guide-light outlets, standard decorator outlets and switches, and paddle switches as compatible device types. The specific outlet must be a decorator-style design.

Two openings let electrical cords pass through individually, while the bottom locking tab helps secure the housing. The cover can be mounted vertically, and mounting screws are included. It is rated NEMA 3R, listed as UL, and stated to meet NEC section 406.9(B)(1). These ratings describe the product, they do not make the enclosure a GFCI device. Use a GFCI receptacle where that protection is needed.

Buyers often praise the housing’s appearance, construction and straightforward installation, and some report that it helps keep rain out. That feedback speaks to their experience with the cover, while the outlet itself remains a separate electrical device.

Best use cases

This enclosure is suited to outdoor decorator-style outlets where the receptacle needs protection from weather and other outdoor debris. For example, an outlet on an exterior wall can remain enclosed while a cord passes through one of the dedicated openings. The clear cover also keeps the outlet visible without giving up the protective enclosure.

Compared with a simple flat cover intended only to shield an unused outlet, an in-use enclosure is the more practical approach when cords need to pass through while the housing is in place. Its two openings allow cords to be routed separately, and the locking tab provides a way to secure the cover.

Getting the most from it

Match the cover to a decorator-style outlet and plan for vertical installation. The screw-in design and included mounting screws support a straightforward fit, position the enclosure so the cord openings are accessible for the way the outlet will be used. For locations exposed to rain, mud, dirt or snow, the weatherproof housing is designed to help protect the outlet from those elements.

The cover is an enclosure, not a substitute for the receptacle’s electrical functions. If the outlet needs GFCI protection, that protection must come from the receptacle or the electrical setup—not from the cover itself. This distinction makes it easier to choose the right protective housing while keeping the role of each component clear.

Should you buy it?

Worth considering if you need a clear, extra-duty outdoor cover for a decorator-style receptacle and want to route cords through the enclosure. Its two cord openings, vertical mounting, locking tab and thermoplastic construction make it a useful fit for outdoor outlet locations where weather protection and access both matter.
