Mulberry 97851 Jumbo 1-Gang Blank Wallplate, 430 Stainless Steel

The Mulberry 97851 is a jumbo size 1-gang blank wallplate machined from 430 stainless steel and designed for box mount installation. Its oversized profile provides significantly more coverage than a standard-size plate, making it the practical choice for retrofit projects where a wall opening has been enlarged, damaged, or otherwise cannot be concealed by a standard 1-gang cover. The blank configuration has no device openings, so it is used to cleanly cap an unused outlet, switch, or junction box while presenting a smooth, finished surface. Because it is built from 430 stainless steel, the plate resists corrosion and denting far better than lightweight stamped-steel or plastic alternatives, making it a durable option for both commercial and residential electrical finishing work.

Key Features

  • Jumbo Size: Oversized 1-gang footprint conceals larger or irregular wall openings and hides imperfections left behind by a previously installed standard-size plate.
  • Durable Construction: Machined from 430 stainless steel, giving the plate long-term corrosion resistance along with a rigid, damage-resistant profile that holds up under repeated handling.
  • Blank Configuration: Solid, opening-free design intended for capping an unused single-gang outlet, switch, or junction box rather than housing a device.
  • Box Mount: Mounts directly to a standard single-gang electrical box using the box's existing mounting holes for a stable, flush installation.
  • 1-Gang: Sized to match single-gang electrical boxes, the most common box configuration in residential and light commercial wiring.
  • Finish: The stainless steel surface resists tarnishing, staining, and corrosion, keeping its appearance in high-traffic and high-humidity areas.

Mulberry 97851 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a jumbo wallplate cover the torn drywall left after removing a standard switch plate?
That is exactly what the Mulberry 97851 is for. It is an oversized 1-gang blank plate, so its footprint runs past the outline a standard-size plate leaves behind and hides enlarged, chipped, or irregular openings around a single-gang box without patching first.
2) Does the Mulberry 97851 blank plate have any device openings for a switch or receptacle?
No. The 97851 is a solid blank, with no cutouts at all. It is used to cap an unused outlet, switch, or junction box and leave a smooth finished surface. If you need a plate that passes a device through, you want a device-style plate instead, such as the Leviton 16252 Decora single-gang plate.
3) I need to cap a two-gang junction box - will the Mulberry 97851 work?
No. The 97851 is sized for a single-gang box only. For a two-gang opening, a 2-gang blank such as the Leviton PJ23-E midway box mount blank plate is the right part.
4) I need a blank cover for a two-gang box, not a single - what should I order instead of the Mulberry 97851?
The Mulberry 97851 is sized for single-gang electrical boxes, so it will not cover a 2-gang opening. The Leviton PJ23-E is a 2-gang blank wallplate in thermoplastic nylon, commercial grade, midway size with box mount installation, which is the direct two-gang equivalent in a blank configuration.
5) What is the difference between the Mulberry 97851 and a Leviton commercial grade 1-gang wallplate?
The Mulberry 97851 is a jumbo size 1-gang blank plate in 430 stainless steel with no device openings, mounted to the box. The Leviton 80704 is a 1-gang wallplate in thermoplastic nylon, commercial grade, with device mount installation - it fastens to the device rather than the box and is intended to accept a wiring device. Choose the 97851 when you are capping an unused box and the Leviton when a device is staying in place.
6) Which plates look like substitutes for the Mulberry 97851 but will not cap an unused box?
Several similar-looking plates have device cutouts and will leave the box open. The Bryant P8 Series is a 1-gang duplex plate, the Leviton 16252 is a Decora single-gang device plate, the Eaton 35324W carries a 4-conductor data/voice modular jack, and the Eaton 3533-4W is a surface mount telephone jack plate for RJ11/RJ14. The Mulberry 97851 is a solid blank with no openings, which is what capping an unused outlet, switch, or junction box requires.
7) How does the 97851 mount - to the box or to the device?
Box mount. The 97851 fastens straight to the mounting holes on a standard single-gang electrical box, which is the only way a blank plate can attach since there is no device behind it. Confirm your box has usable threaded ears before you cover it.
8) Is a stainless steel wallplate worth it over plastic in a commercial corridor or wash-down area?
430 stainless holds up where thermoset and nylon plates get cracked or scuffed. It resists corrosion, denting, tarnishing, and staining, which matters in high-traffic and high-humidity spaces. If appearance in a back-of-house area is not a concern, a commercial-grade thermoplastic nylon plate like the Leviton 80704 is the lighter-duty route.
9) What is the closest blank wallplate alternative to the Mulberry 97851 if a metal finish other than stainless is wanted?
The Pass & Seymour WPB Series blank wallplate is a blank plate in brushed aluminum, so it gives the same opening-free coverage in a different metal appearance. The Mulberry 97851 is a jumbo 1-gang blank plate in 430 stainless steel with box mount installation. Confirm the gang count and plate size you need against the opening before ordering either.
10) Can I use a nylon or PVC plate instead of the stainless Mulberry 97851?
If the opening is standard size and a device is being covered, plastic options exist: the Cantex 5133330 is a PVC single toggle switch plate and the Cooper 2138WBOX is a thermoset combination plate in white. Neither is a blank, and neither is stainless steel. The Mulberry 97851 is a jumbo blank in 430 stainless steel, which is what you want when the wall opening is enlarged or damaged and there is no device to cover.
11) Will a midway-size plate like the Bryant PJ or Leviton PJ2-E cover the same opening as the Mulberry 97851?
Not necessarily. The Bryant PJ Series is an M-size (midway) wallplate and the Leviton PJ2-E is a 2-gang midway plate in thermoplastic nylon, commercial grade. Midway plates are an intermediate step up from standard, while the Mulberry 97851 is a jumbo size plate chosen specifically to conceal larger or irregular single-gang openings. Measure the wall opening before substituting a midway plate.
12) I have a three-gang opening to cover - is there an alternative to the Mulberry 97851?
The Mulberry 97851 is a single-gang plate and will not span a three-gang box. The Eaton 7729V-SP is a decorator triple-gang wallplate cover for that opening. If any of the three positions still holds a device, verify the cutout style matches the devices installed.
13) What part number do I order for the Mulberry jumbo stainless blank plate?
Mulberry 97851. One model, one configuration: jumbo size, 1-gang, blank, 430 stainless, box mount. There are no finish or size options to specify.
14) Can I use a blank plate to standardize decommissioned outlets across a building?
Yes, and it is a common MRO use. The 97851 caps unused single-gang outlet, switch, or junction boxes with an opening-free face, so the box stays accessible behind a finished cover rather than being drywalled over. Buying one stainless blank for the whole facility keeps every retired location looking the same.
15) Is there a colored or non-metallic option in place of the stainless Mulberry 97851 for a residential finish?
For a painted-wall residential look, the Pass & Seymour TP703LA TradeMaster is a 2-gang nylon wall plate in light almond, and the Bryant NP26W is an HWS Series 1-gang plate. Both differ from the Mulberry 97851, which is a jumbo 1-gang blank in 430 stainless steel selected where corrosion resistance and dent resistance matter. Match gang count and whether you need a blank or a device cutout first.
