Arlington DBVM1W-1 Low Profile IN BOX with Weatherproof Cover – 1-Gang for Stucco, Textured Surfaces, and Rigid Siding

Arlington DBVM1W-1: A Low Profile IN BOX for Stucco, Textured Surfaces, and Rigid Siding

The Arlington DBVM1W-1 Low Profile IN BOX is designed for new construction projects where exterior walls feature stucco, textured surfaces, or cementitious fiber siding. This recessed box pairs with a weatherproof-in-use cover to create a clean, flush appearance while protecting electrical devices in challenging outdoor environments. The cover and base are non-metallic, textured, and paintable, with UV-rated plastic to help maintain color and durability over time.

In real-world use, this solution offers a streamlined install and a surface that can blend with surrounding materials. The one-piece design reduces the number of separate components to manage, while the textured surface accepts paint for a cohesive exterior finish. The system accommodates most single-gang wiring devices and works with standard indoor wall plates or a GFCI cover plate, making it versatile for various layouts and preferences.
