Hubbell HBL1795 Weatherproof Waleplate for Toggle Switch

Protect Your Toggle Switches from the Elements

Imagine flipping a switch on your boat during a sudden downpour or in your outdoor setup amid coastal spray—without a worry about shorts or failures. This weatherproof wallplate steps in as your reliable barrier, crafted from durable clear silicone rubber that seals out moisture while keeping visibility crystal clear. Designed specifically for AC toggle switches, PresSwitches, and even those with lighted handles, it ensures functionality stays uninterrupted in harsh conditions.

Unlike basic covers that yellow or crack over time, this bubble plate maintains its transparency and flexibility, fitting seamlessly over both FS/FD and standard electrical boxes. It's a simple upgrade that adds years of protection to setups exposed to rain, humidity, dust, or salt air.

Standout Features for Everyday Reliability

• Clear Silicone Construction: Transparent material lets you see switch positions at a glance, no fumbling in low light.
• Universal Fit: Compatible with standard toggle switches, rocker styles, and lighted variants—works on single or multi-gang boxes.
• Bubble Design: Allows switches to operate smoothly while fully enclosing them against water ingress.
• Weather-Resistant Gasket: Forms a tight seal around the plate, blocking rain, splashes, and debris without adhesives or extra parts.
• Easy Snap-On Installation: No tools needed beyond basic box mounting—quick to install or replace.

Why It Excels in Demanding Environments

Boat owners know the frustration of exposed wiring failing mid-trip. This plate tackles that head-on, providing IP-rated-level protection tailored for marine electronics panels, helm stations, and baitwell controls. RV enthusiasts appreciate it for exterior lighting switches, while workshops use it to safeguard outlets near hoses or sprinklers.

Its non-conductive silicone won't corrode like metal alternatives, and the bubble shape prevents pressure buildup from trapped condensation. Over time, it outperforms vinyl covers by resisting UV fading and staying pliable in freezing temps—perfect for year-round outdoor use.

Simple Installation for Quick Results

Getting this wallplate up and running takes minutes:

1. Mount your toggle switch into the electrical box as usual.
2. Snap the clear bubble plate over the switch actuator.
3. Secure the plate to the box with provided screws or clips—ensures a flush, watertight fit.
4. Test operation: The switch moves freely inside the sealed bubble.

Pro tip: For high-vibration areas like boat dashboards, add a dab of marine sealant around the edges for extra hold without compromising removability.

Ideal Applications Across Industries

• Marine and Boating: Helm switches, bilge pumps, nav lights—keeps saltwater at bay.
• Outdoor Living: Patio fans, pool pumps, garden shed controls.
• RVs and Campers: Exterior awnings, water pumps, slide-out switches.
• Commercial: Food trucks, kiosks, or any wet-area toggle needs.
