No. A 4-inch square raised metal cover—often called an exposed-work cover or crushed-corner cover is made specifically for a 4" × 4" metal electrical box. It will not mount correctly to a standard 2-gang plastic electrical box.
The difference is the mounting pattern. A 4-inch square metal box uses mounting holes near its four corners, while a standard 2-gang plastic box uses the familiar top-and-bottom device screw locations, with approximately 3.28" wall-plate screw spacing. Because the box shape and screw placement are different, the cover holes will not line up.
These raised covers are ideal when wiring is installed in exposed conduit or surface-mounted metal boxes. They provide a durable finished cover while allowing room for wiring devices such as duplex outlets, toggle switches, rocker/Decora-style devices, GFCI outlets, blanks, and combination configurations.
If you have a standard recessed 2-gang plastic box, choose a regular 2-gang wall plate instead. If you have a 4" × 4" metal box with crushed corners, this collection offers a wide selection of raised covers at excellent value for residential, commercial, maintenance, and industrial applications.
