Pass & Seymour SWP2 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Pass & Seymour SWP2 screwless plate cover a ragged or oversized two-gang drywall opening?
That is what it is built for. The SWP2 runs an extra 1/8 inch in both width and height versus a standard-size plate, so it laps further over a torn or oversized two-gang cutout. It also ships with a two-piece plastic sub-plate that bridges recessed boxes and uneven sheet rock, so a device that is floating gets pulled solid before the finished cover snaps on.
2) What devices does a two-gang SWP2 wall plate fit?
The SWP2 is a 2-gang plate sized for standard two-gang device openings, covering toggle switches and receptacles in any combination across the two positions. It is a standard-size plate, not midway or oversize.
3) Is the SWP2 Buy American Act compliant for a government or federally funded job?
Yes. The SWP2 is listed as Buy American Act compliant and is manufactured in the United States, which is what a public-sector or federally funded spec usually asks for on wiring device trim. It is also RoHS compliant.
4) Will the SWP2 fit a Decora or rocker-style device?
No. The SWP2 is sized for standard two-gang toggle switch and receptacle openings, not the wide rocker cutout. For a Decora opening, ZenSupply carries Leviton Decora plates including the 16252 single-gang and the PJ263-E midway three-gang.
5) The SWP2 is standard size - what if the drywall cutout is too ragged and a larger plate is needed?
The SWP2 is a standard size plate, molded with an extra 1/8 inch in width and height over standard plates plus a two-piece sub-plate to bridge recessed boxes and uneven sheet rock. If that is still not enough coverage, a midway plate goes wider: the Leviton PJ2-E is a two-gang midway thermoplastic nylon plate in commercial grade. It trades the screwless face for the added overlap of midway sizing.
6) Which of these wallplates meets a Buy American Act requirement?
The Pass & Seymour SWP2 is Buy American Act compliant and manufactured in the United States, and it is also RoHS compliant. Among the comparable plates - including the Leviton PJ2-E two-gang midway nylon plate and the Mulberry 97171 stainless 1-gang plate - domestic-content status is a separate confirmation for each line. For a two-gang opening on a federally funded project, the SWP2 is the plate that carries the compliance statement on its own record.
7) Does a screwless wall plate still need screws to mount, or does it just snap on?
Both, in sequence. The sub-plate mounts to the device or box first, then the finished polycarbonate cover goes over it with no visible screws and no dirt-catching channel around the perimeter. The result is a smooth face with nothing exposed, which is why these get specified in lobbies, hospitality rooms and anywhere the finish shows.
8) What color and material is the SWP2, and will it match brown devices already in the building?
Brown polycarbonate, molded .065 inch thick. The brown is the standard device brown used to coordinate with brown toggle switches and receptacles, so it blends into an existing brown-trim building rather than standing out the way an ivory or white plate would.
9) Screwless plate versus a standard screw-on nylon plate for a commercial job, which should I use?
Pick the screwless SWP2 where appearance matters and you want a smooth face with no screw heads and no perimeter channel to collect dirt, plus the sub-plate to fix floating devices. Pick a conventional screw-mounted plate where you want the lowest-part-count install and easy removal with a single screwdriver. For that route ZenSupply carries the Leviton PJ2-E thermoplastic nylon 2-gang midway commercial grade plate, which is the same two-gang coverage in a larger midway footprint.
10) My devices sit crooked in the box, will the plate still line up?
The SWP2 uses automatic alignment pins that pull the devices into position as the plate is set, so the two gangs square up instead of sitting cocked. Combined with the sub-plate correcting a recessed or floating box, it takes most of the callback work out of the trim-out.
11) I need a single-gang version or a metal plate instead of the brown SWP2 two-gang. What else is there?
The SWP2 is two-gang only and brown polycarbonate. For single-gang in plastic, ZenSupply carries the Leviton 80704 thermoplastic nylon commercial grade 1-gang plate in gray. For metal trim, the Mulberry 97171 is a 1-gang standard size plate in 430 stainless steel and the Mulberry 86401 is a steel 1-gang in white. For a duplex or GFI block opening, the Mulberry 97401 9740 Series stainless plate covers that prep.
12) Is the Leviton 16252 Decora wallplate a substitute for the Pass & Seymour SWP2?
No. The Leviton 16252 is a single-gang Decora device wallplate sold in a pack of 100, so it has one large rocker opening and covers one gang. The SWP2 is a two-gang plate for standard toggle switches and receptacles. The two are not interchangeable either in gang count or in device opening style - use the 16252 for single Decora or rocker-style devices and the SWP2 where two standard devices sit side by side.
13) If a metal wallplate is required instead of plastic, what are the options?
The SWP2 is molded polycarbonate, so for a metal face you would move to a different plate. The Mulberry 86401 in the 8640 Series is a steel 1-gang wallplate in white, and the Mulberry 97171 is a 1-gang standard size plate in 430 stainless steel. Both are single-gang, so a two-gang opening would need a different plate in those lines rather than a direct swap for the SWP2.
14) What should be used for a GFCI receptacle instead of the SWP2?
The SWP2 is a flat two-gang cover for standard toggle switches and receptacles. Where a GFI device needs a dedicated block opening, Mulberry builds plates for it: the 97401 in the 9740 Series is a 1-gang GFI block stainless steel plate for duplex and GFI receptacles, and the Mulberry Princess GFI block plate is steel in white. Both are single-gang, so confirm the device layout before ordering.
15) Three devices are ganged together - is there a plate like the SWP2 in a three-gang size?
The SWP2 covers two gangs only. For three ganged devices, the Leviton PJ263-E is a midway 3-gang Decora wallplate in thermoplastic nylon, commercial grade. Note that it carries Decora-style openings rather than the standard toggle and receptacle cutouts the SWP2 uses, so the devices in the box need to match that opening style.
16) A spec sheet calls out Bryant PJ series wallplates - how does that compare to the Pass & Seymour SWP2?
The Bryant PJ Series is an M-size wallplate line for wiring devices, so it runs larger than a standard size plate. The Pass & Seymour SWP2 is a standard size two-gang plate with a screwless face and brown polycarbonate body. If the drawing specifies M-size or midway coverage, the Bryant PJ series matches that sizing call; if the finish requirement is a seamless face with no visible screws, the SWP2 is the one that answers it.
