*Receptacle not included*
What devices are compatible with the Kula Cover? Does the Kula Cover work with light switches and dimmers?
The Kula Cover fits standard rectangular (Decora-style) receptacles, light switches and dimmers.
For receptacles, we recommend weather-resistant (WR) GFCI models from Lutron, Leviton or Legrand, such as this Legrand 20A GFCI. Receptacle installations must also be on a circuit protected by a GFCI breaker.
Can I use the Kula Cover indoors?
Yes, the Kula Cover may be used indoors.
Many of our customers use our covers near sinks, backsplashes, and on interior plaster walls.
Our covers provide a significantly higher level of protection and durability compared to standard plastic wall plates and also hide the receptacle from view.
What type of junction boxes work with the Kula Cover?
The Kula Cover is UL listed and tested for use exclusively with standard flush-mounted junction boxes. Not for use with larger surface-mount (FS/FSC type) boxes.
How does the Kula Cover mount to the electrical receptacle / junction box?
The electrical receptacle mounts to the junction box using the inside set of oval-shaped holes. These oval holes allow the receptacle to be installed perfectly level.
The Kula Cover then mounts to the outer set of holes on the receptacle.
Do you offer longer mounting screws?
We can provide longer mounting screws upon request.
Our standard 3/8" screw length is designed to accommodate the countersink depth, outlet cover wall plate thickness, gasket compression distance, and 1.5mm of steel tab thickness on the device/ switch.
Screws longer than 3/8" may push against siding and force the cover outwards off the wall allowing for water ingress.
Please confirm you have clear space behind your mounting tabs before requesting longer mounting screws.
Does the Kula Cover work with Lutron Palladium switches?
Due to the custom nature of the Palladium mounting hardware, our covers do not support the Palladium system.
We recommend Lutron seeTouch devices as they have a standard "decora" style shape and will work natively with our covers.
Is the Kula Cover water proof?
The Kula Cover is rated for both Damp Locations & Wet Locations When Cover Closed.
Why is the Kula Cover marked "GFCI Breaker Circuits Only"?
This marking is a condition of the Kula Cover's UL listing.
When used with a receptacle (outlet), the Kula Cover must be installed on a circuit protected by a GFCI circuit breaker at the electrical panel. A GFCI receptacle alone does not meet this requirement. You can still use a GFCI receptacle, but the circuit also needs a GFCI breaker.
This requirement does not apply to light switches or dimmers.
Have a licensed electrician confirm your circuit before installation.
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.
UL Listing + NEC Code
Is the Kula Cover UL Listed?
Yes, the Kula Cover is UL Listed and approved to meet the following standards:
UL 514D
UL File # E519471
Is the Kula Cover NEC Code compliant?
Yes, the Kula Cover is UL Listed and approved to meet NEC 406.9(A): Damp Locations + Wet Locations Only When Cover Closed.
The Kula Cover is approved for use with both electrical outlets & light switches.
Please note that while the Kula Cover is rated for use with electrical outlets in "Wet Locations When Cover Closed," some state electrical codes require “In Use" style covers on all exterior outlets to provide better protection in the event a homeowner leaves a cord plugged into a receptacle for an extended period of time.
We recommend the Kula Cover Deep when meeting the "Wet Locations While In Use" standard is required.
Is the Kula Cover CSA approved for use in Canada?
Yes, The Kula Cover is UL Listed and approved for the USA & Canada.
Our UL certification includes the C-UL designation specifically for Canada.
Finish
Can the Kula Cover 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 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 Aged Brass patina finish will react organically with the natural environment. Over time, it will transition into a darker bronze tone. In certain coastal environments the Aged Brass finish may develop a greenish blue patina.
