Abstract: A pedestal for outdoor circuits including a vertically elongated rectangular housing having a substantial lower portion thereof mounted below grade and an integral upper portion projecting above grade. The lower portion has a lower opening for receiving conduits, cables or conductors without restriction. The upper portion has a rectangular opening for receiving selectively single or double gauged NEMA devices such as receptacles, switches, lights, etc. The area around the opening is drilled and tapped to standard NEMA specifications to easily mount the NEMA devices as well as cover plates, bezels and pivot cap covers. A long removable access cover panel fits under a peripheral rain deflector rib. This cover provides access to the wiring and to fasteners that mount the housing to a fixed abutment.
