Mulberry 97151 Box Mount Blank Wallplate, 430 Stainless Steel, 1-4 Gang

The Mulberry 97151 is a box mount blank wallplate built from 430 stainless steel, engineered to cleanly and securely cover an unused electrical box without any device cutouts. Available in configurations from 1-Gang through 4-Gang, this cover plate gives electrical contractors and property owners a durable, corrosion-resistant finishing option wherever an outlet, switch, or junction box needs to be capped rather than fitted with a working device. Its solid stainless steel construction and simple box mount attachment make it a practical, low-maintenance choice for new construction, remodels, and retrofit work where a clean, uniform wall finish is required across single- and multi-gang boxes. Because the plate carries no openings for switches, receptacles, or other devices, it is purpose-built for permanently or temporarily closing off a box while keeping the wiring inside protected and out of sight.

Key Features

  • Durable Construction: Fabricated from 430 stainless steel for long-term corrosion resistance, rigidity, and a clean, professional appearance that holds up in demanding environments.
  • Box Mount Design: Mounts directly to a standard electrical box, providing a secure, flush fit over the opening without gaps or exposed edges.
  • Blank Configuration: Manufactured with no device cutouts, making it purpose-built for capping unused outlet, switch, or junction boxes.
  • Gang Range: Available in 1-Gang, 2-Gang, 3-Gang, and 4-Gang configurations, simplifying selection for boxes of varying sizes and speeding up installation on the job site.
  • Low-Maintenance Finish: The stainless steel surface resists staining, pitting, and corrosion, holding its appearance in both residential and commercial settings over time.
  • Consistent Wall Finish: Provides a uniform, professional-looking cover that blends with other stainless steel devices and trim throughout a space, regardless of gang count.

Mulberry 97151 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a blank wallplate cover a box that still has a receptacle or switch in it?
No. The Mulberry 97151 is manufactured with no openings for switches, receptacles, or other devices, so it only works over a box where the device has been removed or was never installed. It closes the box and keeps the wiring inside protected and out of sight. If you need a plate over a working device, you need a cutout plate for that device type instead.
2) What is the closest alternative to the Mulberry 97151 blank wallplate in a non-metallic material?
The Leviton PJ23-E is a 2-gang blank wallplate in thermoplastic nylon, commercial grade, with midway sizing and box mount attachment. Like the Mulberry 97151 family it has no device cutouts and mounts to the box rather than to a device, so it covers an unused outlet, switch, or junction box the same way. The difference is material and sizing: the Mulberry is 430 stainless steel in standard size across 1-gang through 4-gang, while the Leviton PJ23-E is nylon in midway size and single 2-gang. Choose the stainless plate where corrosion resistance and a metal finish matter, and the nylon plate where a midway footprint is needed to cover a rough wall opening.
3) If I want a metal blank wallplate but not stainless steel, what else can I use?
The Pass & Seymour WPB Series blank wallplate is offered in brushed aluminum. It is the same type of part as the Mulberry 97151 - a blank plate with no device openings for closing off a box - but in an aluminum finish rather than the Mulberry's 430 stainless steel. Stainless holds up better in wash-down and coastal environments; brushed aluminum is the match when existing trim in the space is aluminum.
4) I need to cover a 3-gang box but the devices are staying in - is the Mulberry 97151 right?
No. The Mulberry 97151 range through the 4-gang 97154 is manufactured with no device cutouts, so it will not pass a switch or receptacle through. For a 3-gang opening with devices in place, the Eaton 7729V-SP is a decorator triple-gang wallplate cover. Use the Mulberry blank plate only where the box is being capped and the wiring stays inside.
5) Is 430 stainless steel good enough for a damp or washdown area?
430 is the grade on the Mulberry blank plate, a ferritic stainless chosen here for corrosion resistance, rigidity, and a surface that resists staining and pitting. That holds up well in kitchens, corridors, laundry rooms, plant areas, and other spots where a painted or plastic plate discolors. For heavy chloride or coastal salt exposure, buyers typically specify a 300-series stainless instead.
6) I need a blank plate but not in stainless. What else is there?
Two alternatives in the same blank format: the Pass & Seymour WPB Series blank wallplate in brushed aluminum, which gives a similar metallic look, and the Leviton PJ23-E thermoplastic nylon 2-gang blank, which is a commercial grade midway box mount plate. The Leviton is the one to look at if you want a midway (oversize) blank to hide rough drywall cuts, since the Mulberry 97151 is a standard-size stainless plate.
7) Will these stainless blanks match the other plates I already have on the job?
If the rest of the openings are finished in stainless, yes. The 97151 family is solid 430 stainless with standard sizing across 1-gang through 4-gang, so the blanks read the same as the stainless device plates and trim around them. Where the existing plates are white or ivory plastic, a stainless blank will stand out, and a nylon blank such as the Leviton PJ23-E is the closer visual match.
8) Can I use a blank plate to permanently close an abandoned junction box in a wall?
That is exactly what the Mulberry 97151 is built for. It caps an unused outlet, switch, or junction box with no cutouts, keeping the conductors enclosed and accessible behind a flush cover rather than buried. It is used the same way on a temporary basis during remodel work, then swapped for a device plate when the opening is put back into service.
9) Is the Mulberry 97151 a device mount or box mount plate, and what is a device mount alternative?
The Mulberry 97151 is box mount - it fastens to the electrical box rather than to a device, which is what lets it cover an opening with nothing installed in it. If your application calls for a plate that mounts to the device itself, the Leviton 80704 is a thermoplastic nylon device mount commercial grade 1-gang plate. Device mount plates need a device present to screw into, so they are not interchangeable with a blank box mount plate.
10) Which wallplates look like a substitute for the Mulberry 97151 but will not work as a blank cover?
Several plates in the same size families are device plates, not blanks. The Cantex 5133330 is a PVC single toggle switch plate, the Bryant P8 Series is a 1-gang duplex plate, the Leviton 16252 is a Decora single-gang device plate, and the Pass & Seymour TP703LA TradeMaster is a 2-gang nylon plate. Each is cut for a specific device. The Mulberry 97151 through 97154 are solid with no openings, so they are the only ones in this group that will seal an unused box.
11) Can I use a Mulberry 97151 to cover a box where phone or data is being roughed in for later?
Yes - the Mulberry 97151 in 430 stainless steel caps the box and keeps the wiring protected and out of sight until a device is fitted. When you come back to terminate, you would swap it for a jack plate such as the Eaton Type 625B4 wallplate with a 4-conductor data/voice modular jack, or the Eaton 3533-4W surface mount telephone jack plate in white thermoplastic for RJ11/RJ14. Those carry the jack; the Mulberry blank does not.
12) Do the mounting screws come with the Mulberry blank wallplate?
Mounting is into the electrical box itself on the 97151, so the plate uses box-mount screws rather than device screws. Stainless plates are normally supplied with matching finish screws, but confirm the screw type against the box tapping you are landing on, since a plate screwed to the box needs threads in the box ears rather than in a device strap.
13) What should I use instead of the Mulberry 97151 for a combination switch and receptacle box?
A blank plate will not serve that opening. The Cooper Wiring Devices 2138WBOX is a 21 Series thermoset combination wallplate in white, made for mixed device openings. The Mulberry 97151 through 97154 are solid stainless plates intended for boxes that are being closed off rather than fitted with working devices.
