When ordering metal wallplates, size does matter. A common mistake made by customers is that they order metal wall plates designed for utility size, 2x4 metal electric boxes for their homes to be used on standard electric boxes installed inside the sheetrock.
We have seen this happening more often with Gas Emergency red metal toggle switch wallplates. We manufacture them in 3 size:
- Standard size (mostly for homes)
- Utility size, designed to be used with exposed 2x4 utility electric boxes
- 4" x 4", designed to be used with exposed 4x4 inch metal electric boxes
So please, size does matter. Especially when it comes to your electrical safety needs.
Just maker sure you know the correct size for your electrical project. All our metal switch plates and electric outlet plates have the size in the product description and product attributes.
We are looking forward to servicing all your electrical wallplate needs. We stock hard to find sizes (multi gang) as well as different metal materials, like standard steel, stainless steel, etc.
