Mulberry 87401 Cold Rolled Steel Standard Size GFI/Surge Combination Wallplate, 1-Gang

The Mulberry 87401 is a 1-Gang combination wallplate built from cold rolled steel and sized to standard wallplate dimensions, giving installers a clean, secure fit over standard electrical boxes. This combination-style cover pairs a GFI cutout with a surge protection device cutout on a single 1-gang plate, making it a practical solution anywhere a GFI receptacle and a surge protection device are installed together at one location. Cold rolled steel construction gives the Mulberry 87401 the strength, rigidity, and finish quality that many electricians prefer over standard plastic wallplates, particularly in commercial and light industrial settings where wallplates see frequent use. Whether you are wiring a new installation or replacing a damaged plate during a renovation, the Mulberry 87401 delivers a durable, standard-fit cover for GFI/surge combination device locations.

Key Features

  • Combination Configuration: The 1-Gang layout combines a dedicated GFI opening with a surge protection device opening on one wallplate, eliminating the need for separate single-device plates at combination locations.
  • Durable Cold Rolled Steel Construction: Cold rolled steel gives this wallplate added strength and rigidity compared to standard plastic covers, helping it hold up to repeated use in busy commercial and residential settings.
  • Standard Size Fit: Sized to standard wallplate dimensions, the 87401 mounts securely over standard single-gang electrical boxes without special hardware.
  • 1-Gang Footprint: The single-gang design keeps the installation compact, making it a straightforward fit anywhere a single combination device location is needed.
  • Professional-Grade Steel Finish: The metal construction gives the wallplate a clean, professional appearance that suits both new construction and replacement projects.

Mulberry 87401 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What device openings does the Mulberry 87401 wallplate actually have?
The 87401 is a 1-gang combination plate with two openings: one cut for a GFI (decorator-style) receptacle and one cut for a surge protection device. It is not a duplex plate and not a two-gang plate, so both devices have to be stacked in a single standard 1-gang box. If you only have a GFI at that location, a single-opening GFI plate is the right cover instead.
2) Will the Mulberry 87401 fit a standard single-gang electrical box?
Yes. The 87401 is built to standard wallplate dimensions and mounts over a standard single-gang box with no special hardware. If your existing plate is a midway or oversize cover hiding a rough drywall cut, a standard-size steel plate may not cover the same footprint.
3) Is there a non-metal combination wallplate that covers the same kind of two-device opening as the Mulberry 87401?
Yes. The Cooper Wiring Devices 2138WBOX is a combination wallplate in white thermoset from the 21 Series, so it serves combination device locations without the metal body. The Mulberry 87401 is built from cold rolled steel on a 1-gang standard-size plate with a GFI cutout and a surge protection device cutout. Choose the Cooper plate where a white thermoset finish is wanted and the steel 87401 where the rigidity and metal finish of a steel plate is the goal.
4) If only a single standard device is at the box, what should I use instead of the Mulberry 87401?
The 87401 is cut for two devices - a GFI opening plus a surge protection device opening - on one 1-gang plate, so a single-device box leaves one cutout exposed. For a single duplex receptacle, the Bryant P8 Series 1-gang duplex wallplate matches that opening. For a single toggle switch, the Cantex 5133330 is a PVC single toggle switch plate. For a Decora-style single device, the Leviton 16252 Decora single-gang device wallplate fits.
5) Steel or plastic wallplate for a GFI and surge device in a commercial corridor?
The Mulberry 87401 is cold rolled steel, which is what electricians tend to specify where plates get bumped, cleaned, or pulled on, such as commercial and light industrial spaces. Thermoset and nylon plates are lighter and come in finish colors; if color matching white or light almond devices matters more than impact resistance, a thermoplastic plate like the Cooper Wiring Devices 2138WBOX combination plate in white is the alternative.
6) I need a plain 1-gang plate, not a combination cover. What else is there?
The 87401 only works where a GFI and a surge device share one box. For a standard duplex receptacle, the Bryant P8 Series 1-gang duplex wallplate covers it. For a single toggle switch, the Cantex 5133330 PVC switch plate. For a blank cover over an unused box, the Pass & Seymour WPB Series blank plate in brushed aluminum keeps the metal look.
7) Can I standardize on metal wallplates across a building using the Mulberry 87401?
At GFI/surge combination locations, yes, the 87401 is the metal cover for that configuration. For other openings in the same building you would need matching plates in a metal finish, such as the Pass & Seymour WPB Series blank in brushed aluminum, since a steel combination plate will not fit a duplex or switch opening.
8) We spec commercial grade nylon plates - what is the closest 1-gang alternative to the Mulberry 87401 steel plate?
The Leviton 80704 is a thermoplastic nylon, device mount, commercial grade 1-gang wallplate in gray, which keeps the same single-gang footprint as the steel Mulberry 87401. The difference is construction and mounting reference: the Leviton is nylon and mounts to the device, while the 87401 is cold rolled steel sized to standard wallplate dimensions over a standard single-gang box. Note the 87401 carries the paired GFI and surge cutouts, so confirm your device layout before swapping.
9) Will a brushed aluminum Pass and Seymour WPB plate work in place of the Mulberry 87401?
No. The Pass and Seymour WPB Series plate is a blank wallplate in brushed aluminum, so it has no device cutouts at all and is intended to close off an unused box. The Mulberry 87401 is a cold rolled steel plate with a GFI opening and a surge protection device opening. Use the WPB for a dead box and the 87401 where a GFI and a surge protection device share one 1-gang location.
10) My combination devices are on a two-gang box - is the Mulberry 87401 still the right plate?
No. The Mulberry 87401 is a 1-gang standard-size plate, so it covers a single-gang box only. For two-gang openings, the Pass and Seymour TP703LA TradeMaster 2-gang nylon plate in light almond and the Leviton PJ2-E thermoplastic nylon 2-gang midway commercial grade plate cover that footprint; the Leviton PJ23-E is the 2-gang midway blank if the box is being closed off. Verify the cutout pattern of the 2-gang plate against your actual devices.
11) What is the Mulberry part number for this GFI/surge combination plate?
Order it as Mulberry 87401. That is both the model and the manufacturer part number for the 1-gang cold rolled steel GFI/surge combination wallplate.
12) Does the Mulberry 87401 come in other sizes or a midway version?
The 87401 is offered as a single configuration: standard size, 1-gang, cold rolled steel. If the opening needs extra coverage, a midway plate such as the Leviton PJ23-E 2-gang midway or the Bryant PJ Series M-size plate is the larger-footprint route, though neither is a GFI/surge combination cutout.
13) Can I use the Mulberry 87401 for a data or telephone jack location?
No. The Mulberry 87401 carries a GFI cutout and a surge protection device cutout for line-voltage wiring devices. For communications openings, the Eaton 35324W is a wallplate with a 4-conductor data/voice modular jack, Type 625B4, and the Eaton 3533-4W is a surface mount telephone jack wallplate in white thermoplastic for RJ11/RJ14. Those are jack-bearing plates, not substitutes for a GFI/surge cover.
14) I need oversized coverage because the wall opening around the box is rough - what else should I look at besides the Mulberry 87401?
The Mulberry 87401 is sized to standard wallplate dimensions, so it will not hide a ragged cut much past the box edge. Midway-size nylon options cover more wall: the Bryant PJ Series is an M-size wallplate for wiring devices, and the Leviton PJ2-E is a 2-gang midway commercial grade nylon plate. Match the gang count and cutout pattern to your devices, since the 87401's paired GFI and surge openings are specific to that combination.
15) Is the Eaton 7729V-SP a substitute for the Mulberry 87401?
No. The Eaton 7729V-SP is a decorator triple-gang wallplate cover, so it spans three gangs with decorator-style openings. The Mulberry 87401 is a 1-gang cold rolled steel plate with a GFI cutout and a surge protection device cutout. They address different box sizes and different device styles.
16) How does the Bryant NP26W compare with the Mulberry 87401 for a 1-gang opening?
Both are 1-gang plates. The Bryant NP26W is a P26W plate from the HWS Series, while the Mulberry 87401 is cold rolled steel sized to standard wallplate dimensions with a GFI opening and a surge protection device opening. If your single-gang box holds a GFI alongside a surge protection device, the 87401 is the plate cut for that pairing; confirm the NP26W cutout against your device before substituting.
