Just adding more information from the UL White Book in case it is needed.
- Receptacle-type GFCIs for use in wet and damp locations in accordance with Articles 406 of the NEC are identified by the words ‘‘Weather Resistant’’ or the letters ‘‘WR’’ where they will be visible after installation with the cover plate secured as intended.
- Weather-resistant receptacle-type GFCIs installed in wet locations are intended to be installed with an enclosure that is weatherproof, whether or not the attachment plug cap is inserted.
