Can this fix inside a standard box cover AND does it block both plugs on the outlet?

Yes it can fit inside a standard box and it does not cover both plugs. This timer is one of the better timers I have used in my hydroponic system. At present this timer controls 2 1/4 Hp submersible pumps and so far l have no complains.

Yes. The interior rectangular piece that you can see in the image attaches to the outlet box first and then the cover plate attaches separately over the top of that -- basically just like an electrical outlet, except in this case you can use low voltage boxes rather than a regular outlet box.

It doesn't seem to block the upper outlet for a normal 3 prong grounded plug. A wall wart type plug might be a problem, but a normal plug fits in the upper outlet hole with the unit plugged in the lower hole. Oh, and it does work upside down, as elektrodragon mentions below. One of my outlets is switched, so I have it in the upper non switched outlet 'upside down' and a lamp plugged in the bottom outlet.

I put it in the upper socket and the lower socket is totally accessible, however the other way around it would be blocking the other outlet.

The plug is shaped like a teardrop with the larger part having the two prongs. When plugged in it lies parallel with the face plate, i.e., it is perpendicular to the floor and extends beyond the faceplate, not into the other plug. So it shouldn't interfere with whatever you want to plug into the other receptacle. I hope that is clear.

Yes it does. It fits over the standard 2 outlet wall thing like in the picture.

The device would block both outlets BUT, it is only dual prong, and bidirectional, it works plugged in upside down or rightside up. So you can plug it in such that it does NOT block the upper or lower outlet.

The plug (3 prong) is close enough to the bottom of the timer, that if you put the timer in the upper outlet, it will not cover the lower one. However, I am talking about a standard over/under outlet, with the ground prong below the other two. Other outlets may not be as friendly. I have not found one thing to complain about with this timer. It even keeps its setting for up to a minute, I think, while you replace the batteries. Perfection may be impossible to achieve, in real life, but this timer comes very close. That said, it is not the only type I use, because there are others that fit their particular purpose, as well or better, and are cheaper.

I do believe the adapter and the plug will both fit inside the outlet cover. They have 2in depth of space on the inside.

No it does not block the second plug in the outlet. It's very compact and well made and I'm glad I purchased this to keep my refrigerator safe.

Yes, but once you remove the wall plate and mount this onto the outlet box it will not be against the wall since they failed to recess the backside like the original face place so it can wobble a bit when inserting and removing cords. It would have been so simple to avoid this problem if it was better engineered. You will have to make your own shim around the back of the box to make it secure. I plan to not be unplugging cords often so I may just glue some appropriately thick wood on the back to fix their design flaw.

No, the top outlet is not blocked when plugged into the bottom receptical of the outlet. A great reliable product for home use. The foldin plug makes it good for travel.

Gary, this plugs into a double outlet covering the two sets of plug-ins and the six new ones are on either side but I do not know if one side is controlled by one plug or not. Since it probably cannot be plugged in without covering both outlets, I can't say. if one of your outlets is bad or not working, I do not know if this one will give you three or six or none at all.

The switch is independent of any box. The receiver part plugs into an outlet & is a little large. However, if plugged into the upper socket of a 2-outlet box, most of it sticks above the box and does not block the lower socket. One point I must make is that the outlet on the receiver is only for a 2-prong plug and has no ground. I had to use a 3-prong adapter to plug in a grounded plug and ground the adapter to the outlet box.

depends......we have ours on the top outlet and it doesn't cover the bottom one. Now when it's pluged in the bottom one the charging cords pluged into it does block the top outlet.
