Mulberry 97834 Jumbo Oversize 1-Gang GFI Screw Mount Wallplate
The Mulberry 97834 is a jumbo/oversize 1-gang GFI block wallplate engineered to provide extended coverage around duplex and GFI receptacles. Its oversize profile is ideal for concealing larger wall openings, patched drywall, or mismatched box cutouts while maintaining a clean, finished appearance. Designed for secure screw mount installation, this wallplate delivers a dependable, code-compliant cover for standard 1-gang duplex/GFI receptacle configurations. The single-block layout keeps the receptacle opening properly aligned while the oversize dimensions provide extra margin for patched or uneven wall surfaces.
Key Features
- Jumbo/Oversize Design: Larger-than-standard 1-gang footprint provides extended wall coverage, ideal for hiding oversized cutouts or damaged wall surfaces around the receptacle.
- 1-Gang GFI Block Configuration: Single block-style opening sized for Duplex/GFI receptacles, keeping the device opening clean and properly aligned.
- Screw Mount Installation: Secures directly to the receptacle yoke with mounting screws for a stable, long-lasting fit that resists loosening over time.
- Duplex/GFI Receptacle Compatibility: Opening is sized specifically to accommodate standard duplex and GFI receptacle devices for straightforward retrofit or new-install applications.
- Single-Block Wallplate Style: One-piece block cover simplifies installation and provides a uniform look across single-gang receptacle locations.
- Clean, Finished Appearance: The oversize block profile fully conceals surrounding wall imperfections for a neat, professional look around the receptacle opening.
- Straightforward Screw-Down Fit: Standard mounting screw pattern aligns with the receptacle yoke for quick, tool-light installation in both new work and retrofit settings.

Mulberry 97834 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a jumbo oversize wallplate cover a torn-up drywall opening around a GFCI receptacle?
That is the main reason to use the Mulberry 97834. It's a jumbo/oversize 1-gang plate, so the footprint runs larger than a standard 1-gang cover and the extra margin hides oversized cutouts, patched drywall, and mismatched box openings around a duplex or GFI receptacle. If the wall surface around the box is clean and square, a standard or midway plate is enough.
2) I'm standardizing receptacle covers across an apartment building. Can I use this on every outlet?
Only on 1-gang duplex and GFI receptacle locations, which is the single block opening the 97834 is cut for. Switch locations need a toggle plate, blank boxes need a blank, and two-device boxes need a 2-gang. For mixed openings the comparable set covers those cases: a Cantex PVC single toggle switch plate for switches, a Pass & Seymour WPB blank, and a Cooper 21 Series thermoset combination plate where a switch and receptacle share a box.
3) Will the Mulberry 97834 fit a decorator-style GFCI device?
The 97834 uses a block-style opening sized for duplex and GFI receptacles, which is the standard self-contained GFCI face rather than a rocker-style decorator device. If the device in the wall is a Decora/decorator style, order a decorator plate instead - the Leviton 16252 Decora single-gang device wallplate matches that opening in 1-gang, and the Eaton 7729V-SP is the decorator equivalent in triple-gang.
4) What 1-gang wallplate should be used instead of the Mulberry 97834 when the wall opening is clean and standard size?
The Mulberry 97834 is a jumbo/oversize 1-gang GFI block plate, so its extra margin is only useful where the cutout is enlarged, patched, or uneven. On a clean standard cutout a standard-size 1-gang duplex plate covers the opening without the oversize footprint - the Bryant P8 Series 1-gang duplex wallplate and the Leviton 1-gang thermoplastic nylon device mount commercial grade plate in gray both serve that configuration. The Bryant P8 is a duplex plate and the Leviton is a commercial grade device mount plate, so pick based on whether the device yoke or the box carries the plate.
5) Is a midway wallplate the same thing as the jumbo Mulberry 97834?
No. Midway plates are an intermediate size between standard and jumbo. The Mulberry 97834 is a jumbo/oversize 1-gang GFI block plate, while the Leviton PJ23-E thermoplastic nylon plate is a 2-gang midway blank and the Bryant PJ Series is an M-size plate for wiring devices. Midway sizing gives less added coverage than a jumbo profile, and neither of those two is a 1-gang GFI block, so they are not drop-in alternates for the 97834.
6) We need to cover a 1-gang box where the receptacle was removed - can we use the Mulberry 97834?
No. The Mulberry 97834 has a block-style opening sized for duplex and GFI receptacles, so it leaves an open hole if no device is behind it. For an abandoned opening use a blank plate such as the Pass and Seymour WPB Series blank wallplate in brushed aluminum, or the Leviton PJ23-E nylon blank if the box is 2-gang.
7) Is this wallplate screw mounted to the receptacle or to the box?
It's a device-mount plate: the mounting screws go into the receptacle yoke, not the box ears. That means the receptacle itself has to be properly set and plumb in the box, since the plate follows the device. Box-mount plates, like Leviton's PJ23-E blank midway, fasten to the box instead.
8) Jumbo versus midway wallplate for a GFCI outlet, which one do I need?
Jumbo is the largest of the three common sizes and buys the most coverage, which is what the Mulberry 97834 gives you on a 1-gang GFI opening. Midway is only slightly larger than standard and is the usual choice when the cutout is just a little wide, for example a Leviton 2-gang midway nylon plate on a two-device box. Standard size covers a clean, correctly cut opening. Pick jumbo when the wall around the box is patched, chipped, or over-cut.
9) What is the exact part number to order this Mulberry oversize GFI plate?
Order Mulberry 97834. That is the manufacturer part number for the jumbo/oversize 1-gang GFI block screw-mount plate, and it's the only configuration offered under that number, so there is no size or style suffix to specify.
10) Can I use an oversize wallplate instead of patching the drywall around the outlet?
For cosmetic over-cuts, yes, and that's the use case the 97834's oversize profile is built for. What it does not do is substitute for proper support: the box still has to be secured and the receptacle still has to be mounted to it, because this plate fastens to the device yoke rather than bridging the hole. If the box is loose in the wall, fix the box first.
11) What should I order instead of the Mulberry 97834 if the opening is 2-gang rather than 1-gang?
The Mulberry 97834 is a 1-gang plate and will not span a two-device opening. For 2-gang work the Pass and Seymour TP703LA TradeMaster 2-gang nylon plate in light almond and the Leviton PJ2-E 2-gang midway nylon commercial grade plate both cover that box, and the Eaton 7729V-SP decorator plate covers a triple-gang opening if the box is three wide.
12) What is the difference between the Mulberry 97834 and a single toggle switch plate?
The opening shape differs. The Mulberry 97834 has a block opening sized for duplex and GFI receptacles, while a toggle plate has a narrow slot for a switch handle - for example the Cantex 5133330 PVC single toggle switch wallplate. Neither plate will accept the other's device, so confirm whether the box holds a receptacle or a toggle switch before ordering.
13) Our box has a receptacle and a switch together - does the Mulberry 97834 work?
No. The Mulberry 97834 is a single-block 1-gang plate with one opening sized for a duplex or GFI receptacle. A mixed device pair needs a combination plate, such as the Cooper Wiring Devices 2138WBOX 21 Series thermoset combination wallplate in white.
14) For a facility standardizing on one 1-gang receptacle plate, how does the Mulberry 97834 compare to commercial grade options?
The Mulberry 97834 mounts with screws to the receptacle yoke and its jumbo footprint is chosen when openings vary from door to door across an older building. If the openings are consistent and you want a stated commercial grade, the Leviton 1-gang thermoplastic nylon device mount plate in gray is a commercial grade 1-gang, and the Bryant NP26W is an HWS Series 1-gang plate. Standardizing on jumbo gives margin on repaired walls; standardizing on standard size gives a tighter trim line.
15) Do mounting screws come with the Mulberry 97834 wallplate, or do I reuse the old ones?
The plate uses the standard receptacle-yoke screw pattern, so the screws that came with the GFCI device thread straight into it if you're reusing them. Plan on having 6-32 plate screws on the truck for retrofits where the originals are stripped or painted over.
16) Can the Mulberry 97834 be used to cover a phone or data jack opening?
No. The 97834 opening is sized for duplex and GFI receptacles only. For voice and data, the Eaton 35324W plate carries a 4-conductor Type 625B4 data/voice modular jack, and the Eaton 3533-4W is a white thermoplastic surface mount telephone jack plate for RJ11/RJ14. Those integrate the jack rather than covering a receptacle.
