They appear to be exterior weather protective boxes,... other then just a not-so-perfect location (under a hose bib) Arn't they still exposed to rain?

Looks like it, doesn't it? Fairly common around here. A sheild with AC lines and condensate lines (also foam sealant within the sheild).

To bad they do not raise or lower it so the upper flange is under the siding maybe they could put a small extension on it.
