Watertight Plugs, Connectors and Receptacles Provide Protection in the Harshest Industrial Conditions
PEACHTREE CITY, GA - Feb. 16, 2007 - Cooper Wiring Devices today announced
the addition of award-winning receptacles to its existing line of watertight straight
blade and locking plugs and connectors, giving distributors and commercial contractors a one-stop source for all of their watertight wiring needs. The new watertight receptacles won a Gold ADEX award in 2006, presented by "Design Journal" magazine.
Engineered for ultimate performance and durability in indoor and outdoor applications, the complete line of watertight devices provides superior protection in many industrial applications.
These devices feature modern materials and innovative design for corrosion, impact and chemical resistance, as well as withstanding 1,000 PSI water pressure without allowing water penetration.
"Our expanded line of watertight products reinforces our commitment to developing products that address our customers' needs for durability in extreme environments and climates," said Andree Chaisson, Product Manager at Cooper Wiring Devices. "These watertight devices are ideal for rugged application environments, such as food and beverage processing plants, chemical processing facilities, and shipyards and marinas, where high physical abuse and exposure to the elements may occur around electrical connections."
