FAQ
Installation
Should I order the Kula Cover or Kula Cover Deep?
We recommend the standard Kula Cover when you have an outdoor receptacle where a cord will not be left inserted for extended periods of time. The Kula Cover is rated for “Wet Locations Only When Cover Closed.”
For installations where you plan to leave a cord plugged in to the receptacle (holiday lights, landscape timers, etc) the Kula Cover Deep is the best option. The Kula Cover Deep is rated for “Wet Locations In Use” + “Extra Duty.”
Check with your local electrical code to ensure compliance.

What devices are compatible with the Kula Cover Deep? Does the Kula Cover Deep work with light switches and dimmers?
We recommend GFCI receptacles from Lutron, Leviton, or Legrand.
Our standard low profile covers are the best choice when protecting low profile light switches and dimmers.
For extra deep knob or vintage toggle style light switches, the Kula Cover Deep is a great solution.
Does the Kula Cover Deep work for both remodel and new construction?
Yes, the Kula Cover Deep can be used in both remodel and new construction.
Please review the Installation Instructions for details.
Is a junction box included? Does the Kula Cover Deep work with off the shelf junction boxes?
The Kula Cover Deep includes a proprietary recessed junction box which can be used for both remodel and new construction.
It is not compatible with off the shelf junction boxes due to the proprietary recessed design.
How does the Kula Cover Deep mount to the recessed junction box?
The Kula Cover Deep mounts to our proprietary junction box using two screws located on the inside of the recessed faceplate.
All installation hardware is included.
Please review the Installation Instructions for details.
How does the New Construction Wall Plate work?
The included New Construction Wall Plate provides an easy way to air and water seal your building's perimeter envelope when used on new construction.
The New Construction Wall Plate installs on the building's exterior facade with screws or adhesive and is then air and water sealed with the appropriate flashing methods compatible with your installation.
After the finish cladding is installed, the Recessed Junction Box is inserted into the opening in the New Construction Wall Plate.
A gasket on the inside of the New Construction Wall Plate creates an air and water tight seal around the junction box.
What type of cladding is compatible with the Kula Cover Deep?
The Kula Cover Deep is compatible with all cladding materials including: wood, stone, masonry, stucco, metal, and rain screen installations.
The Kula Cover Deep can be used with any thickness of cladding material when installed in the "Remodel" style installation method where the Recessed Junction box is installed over the outside of the finished cladding.
We recommend using threaded flexible non metallic conduit when using the Kula Cover Deep in rain screen installations.
When using the included New Construction Wall Plate in "New Construction" style installations the cladding thickness is limited to .5" to 3.5" thick.
The Kula Cover Deep is marked "GFCI Breaker Circuits Only"?
This marking indicates a UL safety requirement.
When used with a standard or GFCI electrical receptacle, the Kula Cover Deep must be installed on a circuit protected by a GFCI breaker. This ensures the entire circuit is grounded and protected at the source.
Please note, this requirement does not apply when the Kula Cover Deep is used with light switches or dimmers.
Will the cover stay in the open position?
To comply with NEC standards, our covers naturally return to the closed position.
Will the cover stay closed when installed in a soffit?
Yes, our cover features an integrated magnetic closure system that will hold the cover closed when installed in a soffit or eave.
How deep is the recessed J-Box? What is the minimum wall depth?
The recessed j-box is 4⅜" deep, requiring a wall assembly with a minimum depth of 4½" from the outside of the cladding to the inside of the drywall.

Finish
Can the Kula Cover Deep be painted? Do you offer custom powder coating?
For custom color matching, we recommend purchasing our Matte White covers and finish painting on site. Our Matte White finish serves as a great primer.
We don't offer custom powder coat finish colors at this time due to the minimum powder order quantity for custom colors.
How will the cover withstand salty environments near the ocean?
The Kula Cover Deep was designed and engineered specifically to withstand installations in harsh coastal climates with salty air and inclement weather.
The cover is built from solid forged marine grade brass.
The hinge pin, springs, and included mounting hardware are all made of 316 stainless steel.
How will the natural patina finish age over time?
Our Brushed Dark Bronze patina living finish will stay true to its original color. The finish is produced with an accelerated aging process that darkens and oxidizes the brass. A light coat of mineral oil every year will preserve the deep rich black metal finish.
Our Brushed Brass is unlacquered solid brass that ages naturally with its environment. Over time the finish deepens into a darker bronze tone, and in coastal settings it may develop a soft blue-green patina.
