Exterior wet-location receptacles need protection rated for weather exposure at the installed condition.

Answer Options
A
Working clearance.
B
Accessible box.
C
Weather-rated cover.
D
Bonding continuity.

Why This Is the Correct Answer

Exterior wet-location receptacles need protection rated for weather exposure at the installed condition.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Option A: Working clearance.

Working clearance. may relate to another site control, but it does not remove or guard the electrical weather protection exposure being tested.

Option B: Accessible box.

Accessible box. may relate to another site control, but it does not remove or guard the electrical weather protection exposure being tested.

Option D: Bonding continuity.

Bonding continuity. may relate to another site control, but it does not remove or guard the electrical weather protection exposure being tested.

Memory Technique

Name the harm before the guard; working, clearance, accessible cannot stand in for Inspecting Exterior.

Reference Hint
