Correct answer to question 7004
- A: A listed weather-resistant type
Explanation
Section 406.9 requires 15 and 20 ampere, 125 and 250 volt nonlocking receptacles in damp and wet locations to be listed weather-resistant types. These devices use materials that resist UV exposure and corrosion. At a dwelling the receptacle must also be tamper resistant, but that alone does not satisfy 406.9.
