How do I install the Socket Spacer?

Troubleshooting

Wall plate does not sit flush.

Ensure the spacer is correctly aligned with the back box and wall plate. Check that the screws are not overtightened.

Screws are too short.

Use longer screws to adequately secure the wall plate to the spacer and back box. The required screw length will depend on the installation and the depth of the back box.

Spacer doesn't fit the back box.

Verify the back box size and the dimensions of the spacer (59mm internal width, 59mm screw hole spacing). If the sizes do not align, this product will not be compatible. Ensure the correct product is being used (single-gang).
