Mulberry 97171 1-Gang Standard Size Wallplate, 430 Stainless Steel

The Mulberry 97171 1-Gang Standard Size Wallplate is crafted from 430 stainless steel to deliver a durable, corrosion-resistant cover for single-gang wiring devices such as switches, dimmers, and receptacles. Sized to standard dimensions, this wallplate installs quickly over existing single-gang device boxes in residential, commercial, and light-industrial electrical systems. The 430 stainless steel construction provides a clean, professional finish that stands up to everyday wear, moisture exposure, and repeated handling while protecting the wiring device beneath it. As part of Mulberry's wiring devices lineup, the 97171 wallplate is a practical, code-friendly finishing piece for new construction, renovations, and simple device-cover replacements where a durable metal plate is preferred over plastic.

Mulberry 97171 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Mulberry 97171 wallplate fit a standard single-gang switch or receptacle box?
Yes. The 97171 is a standard size 1-gang plate, cut to common single-gang device dimensions, so it drops over an existing single-gang box covering one switch, dimmer, or receptacle opening without modification. If the opening is a two-device box, you need a 2-gang plate instead.
2) What 1-gang wallplate should I use instead of the Mulberry 97171 on a Decora-style switch?
The Mulberry 97171 is a standard size 1-gang plate, sized for a standard toggle or duplex device opening, not a Decora rocker. For a Decora device, the Leviton 16252 is a Decora single-gang device wallplate, supplied in a pack of 100. Confirm the device style in the box before ordering, because a standard-size opening will not frame a Decora rocker.
3) The Mulberry 97171 is too small for my opening - what covers two or three gangs?
The 97171 is a 1-gang plate only. For a two-gang opening, the Pass & Seymour TP703LA TradeMaster is a 2-gang nylon wall plate in light almond, and the Leviton PJ2-E is a 2-gang midway thermoplastic nylon plate in commercial grade. For three gangs, the Eaton 7729V-SP is a decorator triple-gang wallplate cover. The Eaton is cut for decorator devices rather than standard toggles.
4) Is the Mulberry 97171 stainless or plated steel, and what grade?
It is 430 stainless steel, not a plated finish. 430 is a ferritic stainless grade, so the corrosion resistance is in the metal itself rather than a coating that can chip and rust at the screw holes. That makes it a reasonable choice for kitchens, washrooms, corridors and light-industrial areas where plastic plates get scuffed or discolored.
5) I'm standardizing wallplates across a building. Should I use stainless or a nylon commercial-grade plate?
Stainless like the Mulberry 97171 is the pick where the plate is seen and handled constantly, or where moisture is a factor, and it holds up to wear better than plastic. If you want a colored plate to disappear into painted walls, or you are covering a lot of openings on a tight fit-out budget, a thermoplastic nylon commercial grade plate such as the Leviton 80704 1-gang in gray covers the same single-gang opening. Note that stainless will not match existing white or ivory plastic plates, so switch a whole floor or area at a time rather than one device.
6) What else could I buy instead of a 1-gang stainless wallplate for a single toggle switch?
For a single toggle in a residential or utility setting, the Cantex 5133330 PVC single toggle switch wallplate is a plastic alternative. If the device is a Decora style rocker rather than a standard toggle, a 1-gang plate with a Decora opening, such as the Leviton 16252, is the correct cut; the 97171 is a standard size plate for standard devices. For a blank cover over an unused box, Pass & Seymour's WPB Series blank in brushed aluminum is a metal option.
7) Will the Mulberry 97171 cover a data or telephone jack opening?
No. The 97171 is a device wallplate for wiring devices such as switches, dimmers and receptacles. For voice or data you want a plate built around the jack, for example Eaton's 35324W with a 4-conductor Type 625B4 modular jack, or the Eaton 3533-4W surface mount telephone jack plate for RJ11/RJ14.
8) Is there a plastic 1-gang alternative to the Mulberry 97171 stainless steel wallplate?
Yes. The Mulberry 97171 is 430 stainless steel. For a non-metallic 1-gang plate, the Leviton 80704 is a thermoplastic nylon device mount commercial grade 1-gang wallplate in gray, and the Cantex 5133330 is a PVC single toggle switch wallplate. The Leviton mounts to the device rather than the box, and the Cantex is cut specifically for a single toggle switch.
9) Which wallplates look like substitutes for the Mulberry 97171 but will not cover a switch or receptacle?
Several plates in the same family are cut for different contents. The Eaton 35324W carries 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. The Leviton PJ23-E is a 2-gang blank midway box mount plate with no opening at all. The Mulberry 97171 is a standard size 1-gang plate for a switch, dimmer, or receptacle, so none of those three are drop-in swaps for it.
10) For a duplex receptacle, is the Mulberry 97171 the right plate or is there a duplex-specific option?
The Mulberry 97171 is a standard size 1-gang plate intended to cover one switch, dimmer, or receptacle. If you want a plate catalogued specifically for a duplex device, the Bryant P8 Series is a 1-gang duplex wallplate, and the Bryant NP26W is a 1-gang plate in the HWS series. The Mulberry differs in material, being 430 stainless steel rather than a thermoset or nylon plate.
11) What is the Mulberry part number to order for a single-gang stainless plate?
Order Mulberry 97171. That is the full manufacturer part number for the 1-gang standard size 430 stainless steel wallplate, and it is sold as a single configuration, so there are no finish or size options to specify.
12) Can I use the 97171 as a replacement plate on an occupied unit without rewiring anything?
Yes, it is a cover-only swap. Kill the circuit, back out the two existing plate screws, pull the old plate and set the stainless one on with the device's own mounting screws. Nothing about the device or the box changes, which is why it works for straight device-cover replacements as well as new construction and remodels.
