Leviton 8040 Thermoplastic Nylon Wallplate, Gray

The Leviton 8040 Thermoplastic Nylon Device Mount Wallplate is a standard-size wall plate molded from durable thermoplastic nylon in a Gray (NGY) finish. Designed as a device-mount cover for switches, receptacles, and other standard electrical devices, this wallplate is available in 1-Gang and 2-Gang configurations to match single or multiple device openings on the same wall box. The rugged nylon construction resists cracking, chipping, and impact better than standard low-cost plastics, making it a dependable, code-friendly choice for everyday residential, light commercial, and industrial electrical installations where a clean, uniform finish across multiple device openings is required.

Key Features

  • Durable Construction: Molded from thermoplastic nylon for added impact resistance, dimensional stability, and long-term durability compared to standard plastic wallplates.
  • Device Mount Design: Standard size device-mount wallplate engineered for a secure, flush fit over compatible switch and receptacle openings without gaps or warping.

Leviton 80401-NGY – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the Leviton 8040 part number for a 1-gang gray wallplate versus a 2-gang?
The 1-gang gray plate is Leviton 80401-NGY and the 2-gang is 80409-NGY. Both are the same thermoplastic nylon device-mount plate in the Gray (NGY) color, so the only thing changing between them is the number of device openings.
2) Will the Leviton 8040 wallplate fit a standard switch or receptacle box?
Yes. The 8040 is a standard size device-mount plate sized to match standard device boxes, so it goes on for either new trim-out or a straight replacement without special hardware or cutting. Order the gang count to match your box: 1-gang for a single device, 2-gang for two devices in the same opening.
3) Does the Leviton 8040 mount to the device or to the wall box?
It is a device-mount plate. The screws thread into the strap of the switch or receptacle itself, not into the box, which is the normal arrangement for standard residential and commercial devices. If your opening uses a box-mount or screwless-style plate system, this is not the right cover.
4) Is nylon worth it over a cheap plastic wallplate for high-traffic units?
For corridors, rentals, shops and anywhere plates get knocked, the nylon body is the reason to pick it. Thermoplastic nylon resists cracking, chipping and impact better than standard low-cost plastic and holds its shape, so plates stay flush instead of warping away from the wall. That matters to property managers replacing the same plate twice a year.
5) I need to standardize wallplate color across a whole building. What color is the Leviton 8040?
Gray, Leviton's NGY color code. Buying both the 1-gang 80401-NGY and 2-gang 80409-NGY from the same family keeps the gray consistent from one opening to the next, which is what you want when a single wall carries both single and double device boxes.
6) Can I use the 2-gang Leviton 80409-NGY over two separate single-gang boxes?
No. The 2-gang plate covers two devices in one 2-gang opening on the same box. Two separate single-gang boxes each need their own 1-gang plate, 80401-NGY.
7) Are screws included with the Leviton 8040 wallplate?
The 8040 ships as a standard device-mount plate and installs with no special hardware or modification. Mounting screws for device-mount plates are typically supplied with the switch or receptacle, so on a replacement job reuse the existing screws from the plate you are pulling off.
8) Is the Leviton 8040 suitable for commercial and industrial jobs or just residential?
Both. It is used for residential switch and receptacle covers, light commercial and industrial device box installations, new construction trim-out, and renovation replacement work. The nylon body is the part that carries it into the rougher environments.
