Leviton 47617-HPC

The Leviton 47617-HPC is a plastic cover for the Leviton 47617-REB recessed box. This is specifically designed to hide and protect the contents of the recessed box. The combination of the recessed box and this cover offer a perfect solution to wiring AC power to your alarm system; Whether it be for child safety, intrusion protection or general aesthetics, hiding the power source to your control panel is a vital step in protecting the reliable operation of your security system. Although alarm panels have backup batteries they cannot power the system forever. It is imperative to setup your AC power transformer somewhere that it is protected from accidental and/or concerted unplugging.

Most alarm installations are executed in finished homes. With that said, walls are painted and electrical wiring is done. This box gives you an aesthetically pleasing way to cut into your wall without leaving an ugly hole to patch. As we all now, patching sheetrock is costly and never truly looks like the same.

The most important factor for using this box was brushed over earlier and that is child safety. Kids are curious and tend to be attracted to the most dangerous object within reach. Well, guess what is at perfect eye level with most toddlers? AC outlets! This cover will protect those little fingers from getting anywhere near the transformer required to power your system. A blank white plate will not be the most dangerous thing in the room so your child will most likely stay away from it.
