Pass & Seymour TP263BK TradeMaster 3-Gang Nylon Decorator Wall Plate, Black

The Pass & Seymour TP263BK is a TradeMaster 3-gang nylon wall plate with 3 decorator openings, finished in black with a matte texture. Molded from rugged, self-extinguishing nylon at a nominal thickness of .070 inch, this TP series plate is built to hold up in hospital, industrial, and institutional environments where standard plastic plates fall short. The plate is cULus Listed, giving electrical contractors and facility managers a code-compliant option for high-abuse commercial installations.

Key Features

  • 3-Gang Decorator Configuration: Features 3 decorator openings, accommodating multiple decorator-style devices in a single, unified wall plate.
  • Rugged Nylon Construction: Molded of rugged, practically indestructible self-extinguishing nylon (TP series), offering superior durability over standard thermoplastic plates.
  • Extra-Size TP Series: The TP series provides an extra 3/16 inch of width and height compared to Standard size plates, delivering better wall coverage and a more finished appearance.
  • Nominal Thickness: Built to a nominal thickness of .070 inch for added rigidity and impact resistance.
  • High-Abuse Rated: Preferred for hospital, industrial, institutional, and other high-abuse applications where plates see frequent contact and heavy-duty use.
  • Matte Black Finish: Finished in black with a matte surface texture that resists fingerprints and blends into commercial and industrial wiring devices.

Pass & Seymour TP263-BK – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Pass & Seymour TP263 fit three decorator style devices in one 3-gang box?
Yes. The TP263 is a 3-gang plate with three decorator (rectangular) openings, so it covers three decorator/GFCI style devices mounted in a 3-gang box. It will not work over toggle switches or duplex receptacles, those need toggle or duplex openings instead.
2) How much bigger is a TradeMaster TP series plate than a standard size wall plate?
The TP series runs an extra 3/16 inch in both width and height over a Standard size plate. On the TP263 that works out to 6.563 inches wide by 4.6875 inches high, with 0.25 inch depth. That extra margin helps cover oversized cutouts, drywall damage around the box, or paint lines from a previous plate.
3) Is a nylon wall plate tough enough for hospital corridors and industrial areas?
That is what this one is built for. The TP263 is molded from rugged self-extinguishing nylon at a nominal .070 inch thickness, and Pass & Seymour positions the TP series for hospital, industrial and institutional high-abuse work where standard thermoplastic plates crack at the screw holes. Nylon takes impact and flexes rather than shattering.
4) I need a plate for a single decorator device, not three - what should I use instead of the TP263?
The Pass & Seymour TP263 TradeMaster is a 3-gang nylon plate with three decorator openings, so it will not cover a single-device box. For a one-gang opening, the Bryant NP26W is a 1-gang wallplate in the HWS series, and the Bryant P8 series plate is a 1-gang duplex-opening design. Match the opening style to the device you are covering: duplex openings suit a standard duplex receptacle, while decorator openings suit rocker switches and decorator-style receptacles.
5) What colors does the TP263 decorator plate come in, and what are the part numbers?
Three ordering choices: TP263 (standard/unspecified color), TP263-BK in black, and TP263-I in ivory. If you are matching existing devices in a building, order by the suffix, the base TP263 number does not pin a color down.
6) Should I use a nylon plate or a steel wall plate for a high-abuse commercial install?
Nylon like the TP263 is non-conductive, self-extinguishing, and available in matching device colors, which is why it goes in hospitals and institutional corridors. Where you want metal, ZenSupply carries Mulberry steel plates such as the 86401 (8640 Series, 1-gang, white) and the 76432 (764 Series, 2-gang combination, white) in cold rolled steel. Steel takes more punishment in shops and mechanical rooms, but it is conductive and the color options are limited.
7) I only need a single-gang plate, not a 3-gang. What else is there?
The TP263 is 3-gang only. For single openings ZenSupply carries Bryant 1-gang options including the NP26W (HWS Series) and the P8 Series 1-gang duplex plate, plus the Mulberry 86401 steel 1-gang. Bryant's PJ Series is the M-size plate line if you need a mid-size rather than standard.
8) For a high-abuse area, is a metal wall plate a better choice than the nylon TradeMaster TP263?
The Pass & Seymour TP263 TradeMaster is molded from self-extinguishing nylon at a nominal .070 inch thickness and is cULus Listed, and Pass & Seymour positions it for hospital, industrial and institutional high-abuse use. If a steel plate is specified instead, the Mulberry 86401 is a 1-gang steel wallplate in white from the 8640 series. The trade-off is configuration as much as material: the steel option there covers one gang, while the TP263 covers three decorator devices in a single plate, so a steel substitution on a 3-gang decorator opening is not a direct swap.
9) Will a 2-gang combination plate work in place of the TP263?
No. The Pass & Seymour TP263 TradeMaster spans three gangs and measures 6.563 inches wide by 4.6875 inches high, so it is sized for a 3-gang box. Two-gang combination plates such as the Mulberry 76432 from the 764 series or the Mulberry 76532 from the 765 series cover two gangs and mount to two-gang device screws, which will not line up on a 3-gang opening. Confirm the gang count of the box before ordering.
10) What do I use if one of the three openings needs to be a data or telephone jack rather than a decorator device?
All three openings on the Pass & Seymour TP263 TradeMaster are decorator openings, so a jack has to arrive as a decorator-style insert to fit. Where the plate itself is to carry the jack, the Eaton 35324W is a wallplate with a 4-conductor data/voice modular jack of Type 625B4 built in. Decide whether you want the jack integral to the plate or a separate decorator insert dropped into the TP263 before you order.
11) Will the black TP263 show fingerprints in a high-traffic area?
The black version has a matte surface texture rather than gloss, which is far less prone to showing fingerprints and hand oils. That is the practical reason matte black gets specified in industrial plants and back-of-house commercial spaces.
12) Is the TP263 made in the USA?
Yes, country of origin is the United States, which matters if you are working a government or federally funded project with domestic sourcing requirements.
13) Is there an oversized alternative if the TP263 does not cover the wall opening?
The Pass & Seymour TP263 is already an extra-size plate - the TP series adds 3/16 inch of width and height over Standard size for better wall coverage. If a larger plate is needed on single-device openings, the Bryant PJ series is an M-size wallplate for wiring devices. For a 3-gang decorator opening, the TP series extra-size dimensions are the oversized option.
14) I need a color-coded plate to identify a specific circuit - does the TP263 do that?
The Pass & Seymour TP263 TradeMaster comes in black and ivory as well as a standard color, all with a matte finish, so it can differentiate devices by color across a facility but is not a legend plate. Where an identified single switch is required, the Mulberry 41020 is a 1-gang toggle switch plate in the 4102 series marked Gas Burner in red. Use that style where a specific piece of equipment has to be labeled at the switch.
