Pass & Seymour TP8-BK – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Pass & Seymour TP8BK oversized plate cover gaps and bad drywall cuts around an existing receptacle?
That is what the TP series is for. The TP8BK measures 4.688 inches by 2.938 inches, which is an extra 3/16 inch in both width and height over a standard size plate, so it hides ragged drywall cuts and paint lines a standard plate leaves showing. Depth is 0.25 inch.
2) Does the TP8BK fit a standard duplex receptacle, or do I need a decorator opening plate?
The TP8BK has a duplex receptacle opening, so it fits the two round-eared outlets of a standard duplex device in a 1-gang box. It will not fit a decorator or rocker style device, a GFCI with a rectangular face, or a toggle switch; those need a decorator opening plate instead.
3) For a hospital corridor, should I use the TP8BK nylon plate or a stainless steel duplex plate?
Both are used in high-abuse work. The TP8BK is self-extinguishing nylon, cULus Listed, with a matte black low-glare face, and is sized to the extra-size TP series. If the facility standard calls for metal, the Mulberry 93101 is a 302 stainless steel 1-gang duplex receptacle wallplate carried as a special grade plate, and the Mulberry 97101 is a 9710 Series stainless steel screw-mount duplex plate. Choose by the facility's material standard and whether a dark or brushed metal face is wanted.
4) What is the closest equivalent to the Pass & Seymour TP8BK 1-gang duplex wall plate from another brand?
The Bryant P8 Series 1-gang duplex wallplate covers the same configuration - a single-gang plate with one duplex receptacle opening. The TP8BK differs in that it is molded nylon in a matte black finish, so if the surrounding devices and plates on the job are black nylon, the TP8BK keeps the wall consistent; the Bryant P8 is specified by its P8 series designation for the same opening type.
5) Is this black wall plate glossy or flat, and will it match other black devices on the job?
The finish is matte black, not gloss, so it reads low-glare against a wall. Color is black throughout the molded nylon, meaning scratches and scuffs do not show a light substrate the way painted plates do.
6) Is the TP8BK listed for commercial and institutional projects?
The plate is cULus Listed, which covers both US and Canadian requirements and is what an inspector or spec writer typically wants to see on commercial and institutional wiring device work.
7) I need a 1-gang duplex plate but not oversized - what else is there?
If you do not need the extra coverage of the TP series, the Bryant P8 Series 1-gang duplex wallplate is another option in the same configuration. For a metal face, Mulberry's 93101 in 302 stainless covers the same single duplex opening. If you are ganging three outlets on one plate instead, the Mulberry 76103 is a 3-gang, 3-duplex steel plate.
8) My existing plates are white - is the TP8BK a direct swap?
Mechanically it is the same 1-gang duplex receptacle plate, but the TP8BK is black with a matte finish, so it will not match a white wall. For white, the Mulberry 76103 Princess size steel plate is a white duplex plate, though it is a 3-gang with three duplex openings rather than single gang.
9) Is the Pass & Seymour TP8BK made in the USA for projects with domestic sourcing requirements?
Country of origin is the United States, which matters on public and federally funded work carrying domestic content provisions. The ordering number is TP8-BK.
