Product Information
Full details
This Leviton Combination Wallplate is designed for electricians and DIYers needing a clean and organized finish for electrical outlets and switches in a 2-gang configuration. Its key benefit is providing a unified, professional look by accommodating one toggle switch and one blank opening in a single plate. A potential consideration is the specific configuration, which may not suit all unique electrical layouts.

FAQs
What materials is this wallplate made from?
This specific model is made from durable plastic.
Does this wallplate come with the switch and blank cover?
No, this is the wallplate only. The toggle switch and blank cover would need to be purchased separately or already installed.
Is this compatible with dimmer switches?
This wallplate is designed for standard toggle switches. While it may physically fit a dimmer switch with a toggle-style actuator, it's best to check the dimmer switch's specific wallplate requirements.
Can I use this for a GFCI outlet?
No, this wallplate is specifically designed for a toggle switch and a blank opening. GFCI outlets require a different type of wallplate (usually a rocker or duplex style).
How do I clean the wallplate?
Wipe it clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
What are the dimensions of this 2-gang wallplate?
Standard 2-gang wallplates typically measure around 4.5 inches in height and 2.75 inches in width, but exact dimensions may vary slightly by manufacturer.
Can I paint this white plastic wallplate?
Yes, plastic wallplates can be painted. Ensure the surface is clean and use a paint suitable for plastic for best results.
Troubleshooting
Wallplate does not fit flush with the wall.
Check that the electrical box is installed correctly and is flush with the wall surface. Ensure no wires or connections are protruding excessively.
Screws will not tighten.
Verify that you are using the correct size wallplate screws and that they are threading into the electrical box properly. Do not overtighten.
Plate appears cracked after installation.
This usually results from overtightening the screws. Loosen the screws slightly until the crack is no longer under pressure. For permanent fix, replacement may be necessary.
