Outdoor Outlets - Want The Best!
I recently purchased a condo a block away from the beach in S. Florida.
I'm looking to replace my patio outlets with the best on the market. (Home Dept, Loews or online) I need a 4 geng & waterproof. Can you recommend what I should get?
Thanks,
Scott

If you have a 4 gang box, you will also need GFCI protection, so where will that come from? The breaker panel with a GFCI breaker, or at the first receptacle protecting downline from there?

Cooper Wiring Devices 15 Amp 125-Volt Tamper and Weather Resistant Duplex Electrical Outlet - White-TWR270W - The Home Depot
These are tamper resistant and weather resistant. HOWEVER, you will still need to have "in use" covers.

Now, as to how they will stand up to salt air.........time will tell. A marine shop may have dock type receptacles that will have better salt air resistance if that is what you are looking for.
