5. Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation of your Legrand Plexo Waterproof Housing:
- Prepare the Mounting Surface: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and structurally sound.
- Disassemble the Housing: Carefully separate the components of the housing. The housing consists of a base body, insert, membrane seal, housing frame, and cover.

- Mount the Base Body: Secure the base body to the desired surface using appropriate fasteners.
- Wiring the Insert: The insert can be removed tool-free by pressing sideways for easier wiring. The wiring can be done separately from the base plate and then simply clicked into place. The shallow depth of the base plate allows wiring without needing to separate the insert from the base body.

- Final Check: Verify all connections are tight and the housing is properly sealed to maintain its waterproof rating.
6. Operation
Once properly installed, the Legrand Plexo Waterproof Housing functions as a protective enclosure for the electrical devices mounted within it. Operation of the devices inside the housing will depend on their specific functions (e.g., switches, outlets). Ensure the cover is always securely closed to maintain environmental protection.
7. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Clean the exterior of the housing periodically with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the housing for any signs of damage, cracks, or wear, especially around seals and cable entries. Replace the housing if any damage is found that could compromise its waterproof integrity.
- Seal Integrity: Ensure all seals remain intact and properly seated. If a seal appears damaged or degraded, it should be replaced to maintain the waterproof rating.
- Fasteners: Periodically check that all mounting fasteners are tight.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Legrand Plexo Waterproof Housing, consider the following:
- Water Ingress: If water is found inside the housing, immediately disconnect power to the enclosed devices. Check all seals, cable entries, and the cover for proper seating and damage. Ensure the mounting surface is even or that the plaster compensation seal is correctly applied.
- Loose Components: If any internal components feel loose, disconnect power and re-secure them according to installation instructions.
- Difficulty Closing Cover: Ensure no wires or debris are obstructing the cover's path. Check that the insert is fully seated.
For persistent issues or concerns, contact a qualified electrician or Legrand customer support.
