Mulberry 40671 Polyethylene Foam Insulating Gasket for 1-Gang Toggle Switch
The Mulberry 40671 is a polyethylene foam insulating gasket engineered for use with 1-Gang toggle switches, sitting between the wall plate and the electrical box to help seal out unwanted air movement. Made from soft, resilient polyethylene foam, this energy saving gasket compresses easily against the wall surface to close small gaps around the switch opening without interfering with wall plate installation or switch operation. It is a simple, low-cost accessory that pairs with standard 1-Gang toggle switch wall plates in residential and commercial wiring applications. Electricians, contractors, and facility maintenance teams use gaskets like the Mulberry 40671 to reduce drafts, dust infiltration, and energy loss at wall-mounted switch locations, particularly on exterior walls where air leakage around switch boxes is common.
Key Features
- Configuration: Sized and shaped for 1-Gang toggle switches, providing a precise fit behind the wall plate.
