I am getting my dads house ready for sale. I need to fix a few things before it is listed. This piece needs a cover and I am not sure where to turn. No one at the hardware store to be found for help. Possibly you can help

Thanks!!!

Paul did you go to Home Depot or Lowe’s to find a blank cover. If you can’t find it there go to an electrical parts house. Worst case you could possibly make a cover. Is that box plastic

might be easier ( if OP is competent) to undo joins, marking what's what, and drill and fit a new box.

Thanks for the reply. I went to Lowes, couldnt find the part and there was no help available. At this Lowes, probably not because of the Pandemic as there is seldom help. I may try and seek out a specialty store.

Competent with the electric. Not so crazy about the plumbing aspect. Will play with electricity all day long. Anything to do with pipes ( conduit ) no thanks.

I may have to cut the box off and try to put a new one on ( one that has a closing part )

Thanks

If that box is metal it looks like a box used for highly explosive areas. I think your best is to try an electrical parts house

Has to do with pool electrics. The pool is gone, but not all the wiring.

Pool light junction box, the cord in the center goes to the underwater light, that cover would be a electrical supply house item & would have to buy the whole J-box. If the pool is gone might be a good idea to make it safe and get rid of it, fewer questions from HI's (idiot home inspectors), when selling.
