Eaton 2131V-BOX – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Eaton 2131 wallplate fit over a Bryant 5362B duplex receptacle?
No. The Eaton 2131 wallplate is molded with a single 1.406 inch round cutout sized for a single receptacle device, so it covers one round receptacle face only. The Bryant 5362B is a duplex receptacle with two outlet faces in one yoke, which requires a duplex-style plate opening instead. The same applies to the Bryant 5362BI duplex receptacle. Use the 2131 only where a single round-face receptacle is installed in the single-gang box.
2) I searched single receptacle and got both the Eaton 2131 and the Pass and Seymour 3330 - what is the difference?
They are different kinds of item. The Eaton 2131 is a thermoset single-gang wallplate, a cover only, with a 1.406 inch single receptacle cutout for ED box mounting - it carries no current and contains no wiring terminals. The Pass and Seymour 3330 is a Turnlok 30A non-NEMA single receptacle, meaning it is the energized device itself that lands the conductors. If you need the outlet, order the device; if you need to finish the opening over an existing round-face single receptacle, order the 2131.
3) What colors does the Eaton 2131 single receptacle wallplate come in?
Two: white (2131W-BOX) and ivory (2131V-BOX). Ivory is the one to pick when you are matching older device trim already on the walls; white matches most newer devices and trim.
4) What box does the Eaton 2131 wallplate mount to?
It mounts to a standard single-gang ED device box using conventional device screws. No adapter or mounting strap is involved, you simply screw the plate to the device after the receptacle is set.
5) Is the 2131 a standard size plate or an oversized/jumbo plate?
Standard size. It uses the traditional single-gang profile, so it fits common single-gang openings and existing box layouts, but it will not hide oversized drywall cutouts or old paint lines the way a jumbo plate does. For ragged openings, go with an oversized plate.
6) Can I use this plate on a 30 amp locking receptacle?
Only if that device's face matches the 1.406 inch round opening. Many single twist-lock devices, such as the Pass & Seymour Turnlok 30A single receptacle, use their own face diameter and ship with or require a matched plate, so check the device face against the 1.406 inch cutout before ordering this one.
7) I need to cover a quad receptacle, will one of these work?
No. The 2131 covers one single receptacle in a single-gang box. A quad device like the Bryant 21254IGO NEMA 5-20R sits in a two-gang box and needs a two-gang duplex plate.
8) Can I use the Eaton 2131 wallplate on a hazardous location receptacle?
No. The Eaton 2131 is a standard-profile thermoset plate for ED box mounting in residential and light commercial work. Hazardous-location devices such as the Appleton FSQC Series interlocked explosionproof receptacle or the Appleton U-Line ECS factory-sealed plug and receptacle set are built as sealed enclosure-mounted assemblies with their own covers, not standard single-gang device boxes. Match those with the manufacturer's own enclosure hardware.
9) What plate do I need if the box has a quad receptacle instead of a single?
The Eaton 2131 will not serve that opening - it is a single-gang plate with one 1.406 inch round cutout. A quad device such as the Bryant 21254IGO, a NEMA 5-20R 20A quad straight-blade receptacle, presents four outlet faces across a two-gang footprint and needs a plate matched to that configuration. Reserve the 2131 for single-gang boxes holding one round-face single receptacle.
10) We are standardizing on isolated ground and spec grade receptacles - does the Eaton 2131 plate still apply?
It depends on the device face, not the grade. The Eaton 2131 is a cover with a 1.406 inch single receptacle cutout, so it fits only round-face single receptacles. Spec grade devices commonly specified for commercial work, such as the Pass and Seymour IG5362-I isolated ground duplex and the Pass and Seymour 5762 self-grounding duplex, are duplex configurations and take duplex plates. Grade and isolated ground construction do not change the plate requirement - the number and shape of the outlet faces does.
11) Is this a thermoset or thermoplastic wallplate, and does it matter for commercial use?
Thermoset. The 2131 is molded from thermoset material, which resists cracking and fading better under daily handling than thin plastic covers, which is why it holds up in corridors, laundry rooms and other high-traffic spots in rental and light commercial property.
12) Does the Eaton 2131 come in a color that matches ivory devices, or do I need another brand?
The 2131 is offered in both ivory, part number 2131V-BOX, and white, part number 2131W-BOX, so you can match either common device color without switching brands. Both are the same single-gang thermoset plate with the 1.406 inch single receptacle cutout.
