"Raised steel covers for electrical receptacles" typically refer to metal covers used to protect and enclose electrical outlets (receptacles) in a raised manner. These covers are designed to sit slightly above the wall surface and provide a protective barrier around the electrical outlets. They are commonly used in commercial and industrial settings, as well as in certain residential applications where durability and safety are crucial.
The term "raised steel covers" emphasizes the material they are made of, which is steel. Steel is chosen for its strength and durability, making it ideal for protecting electrical outlets from damage and potential hazards.
The raised design of these covers serves several purposes:
1. *Protection:* The raised feature helps shield the electrical receptacles from physical damage, reducing the risk of accidental contact or tampering.
2. *Space for Wiring:* The raised design provides additional space within the cover, allowing for more wires and connections to be accommodated comfortably.
3. *Conduits and Devices:* The extra space can also accommodate conduit fittings and other electrical devices that may require slightly more room within the electrical box.
It's worth noting that different regions and electrical codes may have specific requirements for the types of covers allowed in various settings. It's essential to ensure that any electrical covers used comply with local building codes and safety standards. Always consult a qualified electrician or follow local regulations when selecting and installing electrical receptacle covers.

Sir THANK YOU!!!! I have spent and hour looking on the tube to see how to install these boxes and plate covers with the tabs. Then I came across your video. Really helpful thanks!
My pleasure thanks for watching and commenting ☺
Well done I thought I’d got the wrong parts
I remember when I first started as an apprentice the journeyman would have asked if my hand hurt ,why
I needed an electric screwdriver , Now I would probably use one but 30 -40 years ago it was never allowed, good video thanks
Me too, my journeyman would have laughed me out of the next county. They were old school and now I'm paying for it. Thanks for watching and commenting ☺
That's called a Keps nut, with the star washer. Great video thanks for posting.
THANK YOU SO MUCH I appreciate your knowledge on what's it's called. Thank you for your comment and watching ☺
Man I love your videos.
I appreciate you. Thanks for watching and commenting
Awesome video and thanks for walking through all of those issues and options. Those tabs are definitely a pain. After seeing this, I'm pretty sure I used a mismatched box/cover combination and probably should have switched over to those 6/32 nuts. I used the rounded, new work boxes and covers that only have two holes for each outlet. So, the screw goes through the cover and the outlet... the tab/nut goes onto the screw... and the screw gets threaded into the tabs to hold that assembly onto the box. That's why I was breaking the screws. I had to get the tab/nut tightened to the back of the outlet, while also getting the screw threaded into the box, at the same time. if one or the other got tightened at different times, either the outlets were loose or the cover was loose. But as usual, I learned something useful from your time and effort in making these videos.
Always my pleasure brother glad that you gave me the idea
Good tips 👍
First time seen one of theses. Very interesting….. Thank You
Nice to see you again. They are pretty amazing. I appreciate you watching and commenting .
Really enjoy these type of videos. i like that you take time to explain the little quirks with even just a basic install. Makes me much more confident. Do you think elec tape is necessary in these installs? Thanks.
Always my pleasure. I appreciate you watching and commenting ☺
Great video. Just what I needed.
Can you explain how to hook up the "pigtail" ground wire?
How to add an exposed work 2 gang cover to a 4-11/16 box?
Well that's a new one, so I looked it up and they actually make it amzn.to/47pmCzA
Threader…the correct name is a tap tool
Tomato, toe mato thanks for the clarification. I appreciate your comment and watching ☺
Will these raised covers extend the box for a pine tongue and groove installation? Trying to match the board thickness for a nice smooth install. They're typically a 1" x thickness difference that i want to bring flush and look good.
My opinion id use a plaster ring so it looks more professional. Something like this amzn.to/3TLjMSl
I came here because I was trying to figure out how to install these stupid covers with the bend off tabs. The one I got doesn't have a middle screw. It also has even smaller tabs that the screws don't thread into easily. Just awful. Why does Home Depot sell this crap? I found one at Lowes that includes nuts. Much easier to work with.
Fully agree. The screw and nuts 1000% better
