When would you use the 2-2/3 Inches Deep model of this receptacle vs this 4-3/4 Inch model? Thanks.

I'm not certain which model I have, but it is certainly deeper than 2-2/3 inches. If there are only two models, then I have the 4-3/4-inch model. I installed a double GFCI safety receptacle in a weatherproof box, with the pivoting, liftable cover over the receptacle. I use the lower socket as a semi-permanent power source for an electric water fountain, keeping the cover closed in case of rain, with the power line exiting from an opening at the bottom of the cover. The upper socket is utilized with the cover lifted for temporary use of power tools. Since I use heavy electric extensions, the plugs and lines take up a lot of room, and I needed the 4-3/4-inch cover to readily accommodate them. If you will be using a single 18-gauge extension, the 2-2/3-inch model should suffice. But if you plan to use heavy extension lines, I would definitely recommend the 4-3/4-inch model. I would also recommend waterproof caulking around or between section joints.

Personally, only if there was a clearance issue where the larger one wouldn't go.

I initially purchased the 2-2/3" version and I was unable to get a 16-gauge 25' extension cord to plug in while also having the door closed. I had it bent in there to the point where I assumed I was going to break the wire inside the cord if I put any further pressure on it.

Just measured mine. You are correct, there is a extension that goes out side the wall that's almost 2 inches. You will need 3 3/4 inches in depth. You are close enough that you may be able to use this unit by installing it with the 3 1/2 depth you have and using some white caulk around the edges for the 1/4 inch space you may have, other wise you may need to find a diff product.

I would also go with the 12/3 cord. You might get by with 14/3 if it's a small load,but the 12/3 cord is the best if you think you might want to use it for something else someday that draws more current.

That's a pretty small profile on 1/4 tape, but I have used 1/2 in with no problem. It saves so much time I would give ita shot, good luck.

The 2.5 inches is correct. I don't have any clue as to what that translates to in gallons. That would take some math which includes depth length and width. That said, keep in mind that there's little value in knowing how many gallons it holds. Depending on the size of the leak that might occur, the tray might last hours or just minutes in containing the leak without additional protection. If your machine is on the second or third floor, consider additional safegards like faucets that will shut down water flow on sensing a leak The sensor would sit in the very tray your considering. I hope that helps. The 2.5 inches is correct. I don't have any clue as to what that translates to in gallons. That would take some math which includes depth length and width.

The instructions with the unit says: Width = 4.2" or 4 3/16". Length = 3.8" or 3 11/16". They don't give a mounting depth on their instructions, but it is approx. 3". The wires could be laid over and tucked to make the depth approx. 2 1/2". Hope this helps.

Yes 1/4" and 3/8" refers to hose size not connector. Larger hose just flows air better. I actually have both and it works well with either one. But I am not a contractor doing speed work. Your compressors ability to keep up will be more noticeable than hose size.

I would think it would depend how much "depth" of the 4" surface there is before the transition to 3". If you have approximately 2" of 4" diameter depth I would recommend the 4" product. The reason being that the device is installed by manually turning 4 screws to expand it into location. The "deeper" your location may provide a more complex installation in my "opinion".

Hello, I have this exact item. There's no way it goes all the way up to 2". The real capacity is the lesser dimension 1/4" - 1 1/8". :)

5 inch is this listing .. try the unit that reads extra deep is 3 1/2 in the title ..

I own a CSH like the one pictured. I cannot speak as to why something was done earlier,but I can sure guess if that's adequate for you. This model is designed to be placed at a convenient location, rather somewhere down near the floor where most receptacles are located. Personally, I think that was a great improvement. Hope this sheds a little light on the why.

The 3" inch too big, it will not fit...stock outlet is 2.5". You'd have to favricate like i did

I would add 2" to the depth dimension to allow space for the electrical cord. I like the unit so far, and the logic controls have some features that I really like. Recommended unit! Hope this helps! -Bill KA9QFJ

I used a 3/4 inch and I had trouble with it getting stopped up. I still have one using it but it is pumping clean water. The other pump is using one the same size as the discharge opening. 1 1/4 inch I think. Then I reduced it down to garden hose. This thing will move some water. I got this check valve on the same order as the pump. It has a flapper like a toilet uses. The 3/4 inch uses a very small opening. plugs easily.

It's right at 2.5" when mounted in a stainless sink ... so maybe just a pinch more than 2.5".

3/4 inch is an expence that you don't need to spend. 1/2 inch works very well.
