Mulberry 8640 Series Steel 1-Gang Wallplate, White

The Mulberry 8640 Series 1-Gang Wallplate pairs a standard-size, single-gang steel plate with a block-style device cutout, giving electricians a rugged, uniform cover for GFI and duplex receptacle installations. This steel wallplate is offered across three 8640 Series models — 86401, 86404, and 86405 — so installers can match the plate to the specific device opening required on a given job while keeping a consistent look across a project. Finished in white, it is built for straightforward device coverage on 1-gang boxes in residential and light commercial settings. The steel body and precise block-style opening are sized to seat cleanly over the receptacle face without gaps, giving the finished installation a tidy, professional appearance.

Key Features

  • Trade Size: Standard-size, 1-Gang wallplate sized for single-gang device boxes, the most common box size in residential and commercial wiring.
  • Durable Construction: Stamped steel body resists the daily wear of commercial and residential installations, holding its shape and finish over repeated use and cleaning.
  • GFI/Duplex Block Cutout: Block-style opening configured for Duplex/GFI receptacle devices, ensuring a clean fit around the outlet face with no wasted gap.
  • Finish: Clean white finish coordinates with standard wiring devices, trim, and paint schemes for a tidy, professional finished look.
  • 8640 Series Model Lineup: Available as Model 86401, 86404, or 86405, letting installers select the configuration that matches their device layout while standardizing on one steel wallplate family across a project.
  • Single-Gang Format: Sized for one device opening, keeping installation simple on standard 1-gang boxes without extra fitting or trimming.
  • Steel Wallplate Family: Steel construction offers a sturdier alternative to plastic wallplates in areas that see frequent use or contact.

Mulberry 86401 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Mulberry 86401 wallplate fit a standard single-gang receptacle box?
Yes. The Mulberry 86401 is a standard-size single-gang steel wallplate with a block-style device cutout, so it seats on a normal 1-gang device box over a duplex or GFI receptacle. No trimming or extra fitting is needed on a standard single-gang box.
2) Does the Mulberry 8640 wallplate work over a GFCI outlet, or only a standard duplex?
Both. The 8640 Series opening is a block-style cutout configured for Duplex/GFI devices, which is the rectangular decorator-style opening a GFCI face needs. A standard duplex receptacle also covers cleanly behind the same opening, so one plate type covers both device styles on a job.
3) I need a 1-gang plate for a toggle switch, not a receptacle. What should I use instead of the Mulberry 86401?
The Mulberry 86401 will not work over a toggle switch - its opening is a block-style cutout configured for duplex and GFI receptacle devices. For a toggle switch opening, use a plate cut for that device, such as the Pass & Seymour TP1LA TradeMaster 1-Gang Toggle Switch Wall Plate in nylon, light almond, or the TP1RED TradeMaster 1-gang nylon toggle plate in red if you are color-coding emergency or generator-backed circuits. For an oversized toggle plate, the Pass & Seymour SPJ Series is a junior-jumbo thermoset plate with a toggle switch opening, useful when the wall surface around the box is damaged or the box sits off-center.
4) What is the closest equivalent to the Mulberry 86401 wallplate if I need a 1-gang duplex receptacle cover from another brand?
The Mulberry 86401 is a 1-gang steel wallplate with a block-style opening for duplex and GFI receptacles. The closest like-for-like substitute in another brand is the Bryant P8 Series 1-Gang Duplex Wallplate, which is also a single-gang plate cut for a duplex receptacle. The Bryant NP26W in the HWS series is another 1-gang wallplate option. The main difference to confirm before you order is material: the Mulberry 8640 Series body is steel, while the Bryant plates are catalogued by series rather than by a stated material, so match the finish and material to what is already on the other openings in the room.
5) I have a receptacle and a switch in the same two-gang box - can I use two Mulberry 86401 plates?
No. Two single-gang plates will not cover one two-gang box; you need a single combination plate. The Mulberry 8640 Series covers single-gang openings in the 86401, and steps up to the 4-gang 86404 and 5-gang 86405 for wider device banks. For a two-gang box mixing a receptacle and a switch, the Pass & Seymour TradeMaster two-gang combination wallplate in nylon is cut for that mixed device layout.
6) What gang sizes does the Mulberry 8640 Series steel wallplate come in?
Three sizes are offered: model 86401 in 1-gang, 86404 in 4-gang, and 86405 in 5-gang. All three are white steel plates in the same 8640 family, so a multi-device bank and a single outlet on the same job still match.
7) Steel or plastic wallplates for a high-traffic corridor or utility room?
Steel, in that situation. The Mulberry 8640 plate is stamped steel, which holds its shape where plates get bumped by carts, furniture, or cleaning equipment, and it survives repeated wipe-downs better than a thin plastic cover. Nylon and thermoset plates, like the Pass and Seymour TradeMaster line, are the lighter-duty choice for offices, apartments, and bedrooms where nothing is hitting the wall.
8) What else could I use if I want a 1-gang duplex plate in something other than steel?
Bryant offers 1-gang alternatives in the same duty class: the P8 Series 1-gang duplex wallplate, and the NP26W from the HWS series. There is also the Bryant PJ Series in M-size for wiring devices if you need the slightly larger plate footprint to cover a rough wall opening.
9) Is the Mulberry 86401 wallplate the right cover for a data or phone jack?
No - the 86401 has a block-style cutout sized for duplex and GFI receptacle faces, so a modular jack will not mount to it. For low-voltage terminations, use a plate built with the jack integrated, such as the Eaton 35324W wallplate with a 4-conductor data/voice modular jack, Type 625B4. Keep the Mulberry 8640 Series for the line-voltage receptacle openings on the same job if you want the steel body there.
10) What is the difference between a Mulberry 8640 Series steel wallplate and a nylon TradeMaster plate?
The Mulberry 8640 Series body is stamped steel, which is the reason it gets specified in corridors, utility rooms, and other high-contact areas where a plate takes knocks. The Pass & Seymour TradeMaster TP1 plates are nylon, a lighter thermoplastic that is typically chosen for residential and finished office spaces and comes in a broader color range - light almond on the TP1LA and red on the TP1RED. Mulberry's 8640 Series is offered in white. Choose on the environment and the color match rather than on the device opening, since both families are single-gang plates.
11) My device boxes sit slightly proud of the drywall and standard plates leave a gap. What plate should I specify instead of the Mulberry 86401?
The Mulberry 86401 is a standard-size single-gang plate, so it covers only the standard footprint around the box. When the box is off-center or the wall opening is oversized, step to a larger plate: the Pass & Seymour SPJ Series is a junior-jumbo thermoset wall plate, which gives extra coverage beyond a standard plate. Note the SPJ carries a toggle switch opening, so it suits switch locations - for receptacle locations you would need an oversized plate with a duplex cutout.
12) Can I standardize on one wallplate family across a whole building of outlets?
That is what the 8640 Series is set up for. One white steel plate family covers single-gang outlets and the wider 4- and 5-gang banks, so a property manager or facilities buyer can spec one series and keep the finish and material consistent at every device location instead of mixing plate brands during turnovers and repairs.
13) What is the difference between the Bryant PJ Series and the Mulberry 8640 Series wallplates?
The Bryant PJ Series is an M-size wallplate for wiring devices, meaning it is sized to a specific Bryant plate dimension rather than the standard trade size. The Mulberry 8640 Series is a standard-size plate in a steel body, offered as the 1-gang 86401, 4-gang 86404, and 5-gang 86405 in white. If you are standardizing plate size across a facility, confirm which size family is already installed before mixing the two, since an M-size plate and a standard plate will not present the same border around the device.
