Leviton Thermoplastic Nylon Midway 1-Gang Duplex Receptacle Wallplate

The Leviton Thermoplastic Nylon Midway 1-Gang Duplex Receptacle Wallplate is a durable cover plate engineered to protect and finish standard duplex receptacle openings. Built with a 1-gang Midway profile, this wallplate delivers a clean, low-profile fit over duplex receptacle boxes in residential and commercial applications. The thermoplastic nylon construction provides impact resistance, moisture tolerance, and long-term durability for everyday use, making it a dependable choice for contractors and facility teams standardizing wallplate finish across a project. Leviton wallplates are engineered to hold up to daily handling in busy environments, from offices and multi-family housing to retail buildouts and single-family homes.

Key Features

  • Gang Configuration: 1-Gang duplex receptacle opening sized to fit standard duplex receptacle devices.
  • Midway Design: Midway-style profile provides a slightly larger footprint than standard wallplates, helping cover minor drywall or plaster irregularities around the box opening.
  • Durable Construction: Thermoplastic nylon material resists impact, cracking, and everyday wear better than standard plastic wallplates.
  • Consistent Fit: Engineered to align cleanly with Leviton duplex receptacle devices and standard single-gang electrical boxes.
  • Easy Installation: Simple screw-mount design allows for quick installation or replacement over existing duplex receptacle devices.
  • Lightweight, Non-Conductive Material: Thermoplastic nylon is lightweight and non-conductive, simplifying handling compared to metal wallplate options.
  • Smooth Finish: A clean surface finish helps the wallplate blend neatly with surrounding trim and paint for a finished look.

Leviton PJ8-W – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Leviton PJ8 Midway wallplate cover the gap around a sloppy drywall cutout?
That's what the Midway size is for. The PJ8 is a 1-gang duplex plate in the Midway profile, which sits between a standard plate and an oversized jumbo, so it covers a bit more wall around the box than a standard plate does. If the drywall or plaster is cut ragged right at the box edge, the Midway footprint usually hides it. If the cutout is badly oversized, you're into jumbo territory and a Midway won't bail you out.
2) Will the Leviton PJ8 fit a duplex receptacle from another brand?
Yes. The PJ8 is cut for a standard duplex receptacle opening, and duplex device faces are a common dimension across manufacturers, so it goes over a Hubbell, Pass and Seymour, or Eaton duplex the same as it goes over a Leviton one. What it will not fit is a decorator/rocker style device (GFCI, USB charger, decora switch) because that takes a single rectangular opening, not the two-circle duplex cutout.
3) Is light almond the same as ivory for matching existing wallplates?
No, and it's the most common color mismatch in the trade. Light almond is a warmer, pinker beige than ivory, and the two read as clearly different side by side on the same wall. The PJ8 comes in light almond (PJ8-T), white, gray, and black. If the existing plates in the building are ivory, none of these four will match, so pull one off the wall and check the back for the color code before ordering a case.
4) What colors does the Leviton PJ8 duplex wallplate come in?
Four: white (PJ8-W), light almond (PJ8-T), gray (PJ8-GY), and black (PJ8-E). If you're standardizing a building, the part number suffix is the color code, so an order of PJ8-W across a floor gets you matching white plates every time.
5) Is nylon wallplate worth it over a cheap plastic cover plate?
For anything that gets handled, yes. The PJ8 is thermoplastic nylon, which takes impact and resists cracking better than the standard thermoset or PVC plates. The place it pays off is high-traffic: corridors, laundry rooms, classrooms, rental turnover, anywhere a vacuum cleaner or a cart catches the plate. In a low-traffic bedroom, a standard plate does the same job.
6) Do I need anything else to install a Leviton PJ8 wallplate?
Just a screwdriver. The PJ8 is a screw-mount plate that goes on over the existing duplex device, so there's no adapter, no clip, no strap. The mounting screw threads into the receptacle's own center yoke screw hole. If the old screw is stripped or painted over, grab a spare 6-32 plate screw in the matching color, otherwise it's a one-tool swap.
7) Can I use a nylon wallplate on a metal box in a commercial building?
Yes, and it's often the preferred choice. Thermoplastic nylon is non-conductive, so the plate itself doesn't need to be part of the grounding path the way a metal plate does. It also weighs less, which matters when you're hanging a few hundred of them on a buildout.
8) Can the Leviton PJ8 wallplate be painted to match a wall?
The nylon face is smooth and takes paint poorly without prep, which is why the plate is offered in four stock colors instead. For a painted-trim job, the usual approach is to pick the closest stock color (white PJ8-W is the safe default on white trim) rather than spraying the plate, since paint on a receptacle cover chips at the screw and around the opening where fingers and plugs hit it.
