Bryant HWS Series P26W 1-Gang Wallplate
The Bryant HWS Series P26W 1-Gang Wallplate is engineered to provide a clean, properly fitted cover for a single-gang electrical device opening. As part of Bryant's HWS wallplate lineup, model P26W is built for straightforward, dependable coverage of switches, receptacles, or other standard wiring devices installed in a 1-Gang configuration. Electricians and contractors specify this wallplate wherever a single-gang device box needs a secure, finished cover as part of a professional electrical installation. A wallplate is a small component, but it is also one of the most visible parts of any wiring device installation, and Bryant designs the HWS Series to close out a single-gang opening cleanly once the switch or receptacle behind it has been terminated and mounted.
Key Features
- 1-Gang Configuration: Sized to cover a single standard electrical device opening, identified as model P26W in the Bryant HWS lineup, so installers can match the correct cover to a single-gang box without guesswork.
- Bryant HWS Series: Part of Bryant's HWS wallplate family, giving installers a consistent, recognizable option for standard device coverage across a job site or facility.
- Finished Wallplate Cover: Provides a neat, protective cover over the wiring device and outlet box opening once devices are installed, helping close out the visible finish work of an electrical rough-in.
- Standard Device Compatibility: Designed to fit a standard single-gang switch, receptacle, or wiring device opening without modification, simplifying stocking and specification for electrical contractors.
- Simple Installation: Straightforward mounting to a single-gang device box or wiring device for a quick, clean finish on the job, reducing installation time on both new work and replacement projects.
- Consistent Model Identity: The P26W designation allows contractors and distributors to reorder the exact same wallplate for future single-gang device openings.

Bryant NP26W – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wallplate covers a single-gang toggle switch opening if the Bryant NP26W is not the right fit?
The Pass & Seymour SPJ is a junior-jumbo thermoset wall plate with a toggle switch opening, so it covers a single toggle device and its slightly oversized junior-jumbo dimensions help hide rough wall cuts or paint lines around the box. The Bryant NP26W is a 1-gang plate in the HWS series sized to a standard single-gang device opening. Choose the SPJ when the opening is specifically a toggle switch and extra coverage around the box is wanted; choose the NP26W for standard single-gang device coverage.
2) What should I order instead of the Bryant NP26W if the box is two-gang or three-gang?
The Bryant NP26W HWS Series plate is sized for a 1-gang opening only and will not span a wider box. For two-gang openings, Pass & Seymour offers the TP703LA TradeMaster 2-gang nylon plate in light almond and the TP126-LA Trademaster two-gang combination nylon plate, and Mulberry offers the 76432 (764 Series) and 76532 (765 Series) cold rolled steel 2-gang combination plates in white. For three-gang work, the Eaton 7729V-SP is a decorator triple-gang cover and the Mulberry 76103 is a steel Princess-size 3-gang plate with three duplex receptacle openings. Confirm the device mix behind the plate, since the combination versions pair different opening types in one cover.
3) I need a single-gang plate with no device opening at all - what is the alternative to the Bryant NP26W?
The Pass & Seymour WPB Series blank wallplate in brushed aluminum is the option for closing off a device box with no switch or receptacle behind it. The Bryant NP26W HWS Series plate is a 1-gang cover intended for a standard switch, receptacle, or wiring device, so it has a device opening. Use the WPB blank over an abandoned or spare box and the NP26W where a device is actually installed.
4) I need a labeled single-gang switch plate for a gas burner shutoff - does the Bryant NP26W cover that?
The Bryant NP26W is an unmarked 1-gang wallplate for standard switch and receptacle openings, so it carries no identification legend. The Mulberry 41020 in the 4102 Series is a red 1-gang toggle switch plate marked for gas burner service, which is what facility and institutional specs call for when the switch controls a burner or emergency shutoff. Both are single-gang toggle-scale covers; the difference is the red color and the gas burner marking.
5) What part number do I reorder to keep single-gang covers consistent across a building?
Order Bryant NP26W, the P26W plate in the HWS wallplate family. Facility teams standardizing single-gang device coverage reorder the same model number for every future opening, which keeps the look consistent and simplifies stocking.
6) My old plate is oversized and the wall is cut rough around the box. Will a standard-size plate like the NP26W cover it?
Probably not. The Bryant NP26W is a standard 1-gang size, so it covers the device opening and little beyond it. Where drywall is broken back or the previous plate was larger, use an oversized plate instead, such as the Pass & Seymour SPJ Series junior-jumbo thermoset plate with a toggle switch opening.
7) Will a telephone or data jack wallplate work as a substitute for the Bryant NP26W?
No. The Eaton 35324W carries a 4-conductor data/voice modular jack of Type 625B4, and the Eaton 3533-4W is a surface mount telephone jack wallplate in white thermoplastic for RJ11/RJ14. Both are communications plates with the jack built into the cover, not blank-opening covers for a power device. The Bryant NP26W HWS Series plate is a 1-gang cover for a standard switch or receptacle already terminated in the box. Order the Eaton plates only when you are terminating voice or data cable at that location.
8) Is a steel wallplate available instead of the Bryant NP26W for higher-abuse areas?
Bryant's HWS Series P26W is a 1-gang wallplate for standard device openings. If a metal plate is preferred for mechanical rooms, corridors, or other high-traffic locations, Mulberry offers cold rolled steel plates such as the 76432 in the 764 Series and the 76532 in the 765 Series, both 2-gang combination covers in white, and the 76103 steel Princess-size 3-gang plate. Note those steel options are multi-gang, so they suit a wider box rather than a single-gang opening.
9) What is the difference between the Bryant NP26W and the Cooper 2138WBOX combination wallplate?
The Cooper Wiring Devices 2138WBOX is a 21 Series thermoset combination wallplate in white, meaning it pairs more than one opening style in a single cover for mixed device layouts. The Bryant NP26W is an HWS Series 1-gang plate sized to a single standard device opening. Pick the Bryant when one switch or receptacle occupies the box, and the Cooper combination plate when the box holds a mix of device types.
10) Is the Bryant NP26W suitable for commercial work or is it residential only?
Both. It is specified on residential and commercial electrical installations, new construction wiring, renovation and device cover replacement, and it is stocked for facility maintenance programs.
