Other than the extension cord mess, any other issues with this, can a GFCI be in a box like this?
Hello Clay,

It looks like a combination disconnect / receptacle rainproof enclosure. I don't recognize whose brand it is. I am most familiar with the ones made by Milbank. If you go to the Milbank web site you can compare theirs to what you saw.

It is basically an a/c disconnect and GFCI receptacle in th same enclosure. The cover is made to have cords plugged in and keep the cover closed like a standard bubble cover for a regular outdoor GFCI receptacle. The orange adaptor will prevent it from closing but that is easily corrected.


Sincerely,

Corey Friedman
