Cooper Wiring Devices 5171BK Standard Combination Wallplate

The Cooper Wiring Devices Standard Combination Wallplate is engineered to cover mixed device configurations with a clean, professional finish. Featuring a standard wallplate size and a combination cutout, this wallplate accommodates multiple device types — such as a switch paired with a receptacle or other combination openings — in a single, streamlined cover. This listing is available in a choice of finishes, including Black, Light Almond, and Standard, allowing electricians and facility managers to match wallplate color to existing device finishes and interior color schemes. It is a practical choice for electricians, contractors, and facility managers standardizing device coverage across residential and commercial spaces, and the combination cutout design helps eliminate the need for separate single-gang plates when a switch and receptacle (or similar mixed devices) share one electrical box.

Key Features

  • Standard Wallplate Size: Sized to fit standard electrical boxes for straightforward installation and consistent appearance throughout a space.
  • Combination Cutout: Configured with a combination opening to accommodate mixed device types — such as switches and receptacles — behind a single wallplate, reducing the number of individual plates required per box.
  • Available Finishes: Offered in Black, Light Almond, and Standard color options, giving contractors flexibility to match existing device and interior finishes across a project.
  • Cooper Wiring Devices Quality: Manufactured by Cooper Wiring Devices, a trusted name in electrical wiring devices and accessories for professional installations.
  • Versatile Application: Suitable for use in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings where combination device layouts are required.
  • Consistent Fit: Standard sizing helps ensure compatibility with common electrical box layouts, simplifying inventory and installation planning for electrical contractors.

Cooper Wiring Devices 5171BK – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is this a standard size plate or an oversized/jumbo one?
Standard size. The Cooper combination plate is cut to standard wallplate dimensions, so it fits common box layouts but will not hide oversized cutouts or damaged drywall around the box. For extra coverage you want a jumbo or junior-jumbo plate instead, such as the Pass & Seymour SPJ Series junior-jumbo thermoset plate, though that one has a toggle switch opening rather than a combination cutout.
2) Will this Cooper plate work over two duplex receptacles, or over a single switch only?
No. The cutout is a combination pattern, meant for mixed devices in one box. For two duplex receptacles you want a duplex-opening plate such as the Bryant P8 Series 1-Gang Duplex Wallplate in the gang count you need, and for a single toggle only, a switch-opening plate like the Mulberry 41020 1-gang toggle switch plate. Match the opening pattern to the devices, not just the gang count.
3) If the box only has one duplex receptacle and no switch, what should I order instead of the combination plate?
Use a single-gang duplex plate rather than a combination cutout. The Bryant P8 Series 1-Gang Duplex Wallplate is built for a lone duplex receptacle. The Cooper standard combination wallplate is cut for mixed devices such as a switch paired with a receptacle in one box, so it will not match a straight duplex opening.
4) Is there a metal combination wallplate instead of a plastic one for a utility or back-of-house room?
Yes. The Mulberry 76432 is a 764 Series cold rolled steel 2-gang combination wallplate in white, and the Mulberry 76532 is the same steel 2-gang combination configuration in the 765 Series. Both cover a mixed switch and receptacle opening like the Cooper standard combination wallplate does, in steel rather than the Cooper's standard plate construction, and both are white only rather than offering black or light almond.
5) What is the closest equivalent to the Cooper 5171BK combination wallplate in light almond from another brand?
The Pass & Seymour TP126-LA Trademaster is a two-gang combination nylon wallplate in light almond, which matches the combination cutout concept of the Cooper 5171BK standard-size combination plate. The Cooper plate is also offered in a light almond color option, so a facility standardizing on light almond can run either; the Pass & Seymour is a nylon Trademaster plate, while the Cooper is a standard-size combination cover.
6) Does the Cooper combination wallplate work for a data or telephone jack opening?
No. Its cutout is a combination opening for wiring devices such as a switch and receptacle. For voice or data, the Eaton 35324W is a wallplate with a 4-conductor data/voice modular jack, Type 625B4, and the Eaton 3533-4W is a surface mount telephone jack wallplate in white thermoplastic for RJ11/RJ14.
7) What colors does the Cooper standard combination wallplate come in, and what are the part numbers?
Three choices: Black as 5171BK, Light Almond as 2174LA-BOX, and the Standard color as 93543-BOX. Order by the part number that matches the device color already installed, since the plate color is the only thing changing between them.
8) I have a three-gang box with a mix of devices. Is this the right plate?
Not for three gangs. The Cooper combination plate is a standard-size combination cover for a mixed pair of devices in one box. For wider openings look at a three-gang plate such as the Eaton 7729V-SP decorator triple-gang cover or the Mulberry 76103 steel 3-gang plate with three duplex receptacle openings.
9) What should I use if the opening is a single toggle switch only?
A single toggle plate is the right part. The Pass & Seymour SPJ Series is a junior-jumbo thermoset wall plate with a toggle switch opening, and the Mulberry 41020 is a 1-gang toggle switch plate in the 4102 Series finished gas burner red for equipment identification. Neither has the combination cutout of the Cooper standard combination wallplate, which is intended for mixed devices in one box.
10) What do I use to cover an unused box rather than a combination device opening?
A blank plate. The Pass & Seymour WPB Series blank wallplate in brushed aluminum closes off a box with no device in it. The Cooper standard combination wallplate has a combination cutout and would leave openings exposed on an empty box.
11) Does this wallplate include mounting screws or a device?
The Cooper 5171BK is the cover plate only. It does not include the switch, receptacle, or box, so order the devices separately and confirm the cutout pattern on the plate matches the device combination you are installing in that box.
12) Are the Bryant NP26W and PJ Series plates alternatives to the Cooper combination wallplate?
They cover different openings. The Bryant NP26W is an HWS Series P26W 1-gang wallplate and the Bryant PJ Series is an M-size wallplate for wiring devices, whereas the Cooper plate is a standard-size cover with a combination cutout for two mixed devices sharing one box. Match the cutout and gang count to the devices already in the wall before substituting.
