Cooper Wiring Devices Single-Gang Nylon Receptacle Wallplate in Red

The Cooper Wiring Devices Single-Gang Nylon Receptacle Wallplate in Red is a standard-size cover plate engineered to provide a clean, durable finish over a single standard receptacle opening. Molded from rigid nylon and sized for a standard receptacle cutout with a 1.406" hole, this wallplate delivers a precise fit over compatible devices while standing up to the daily wear of residential, commercial, and light industrial environments. The bold red finish makes it easy to visually distinguish specific circuits, panels, or device locations at a glance, and the single-gang configuration keeps installation straightforward on any standard electrical box, whether the job is new construction, a service upgrade, or a simple cosmetic replacement.

Key Features

  • Standard Receptacle Cutout: Features a 1.406" hole sized for a standard receptacle opening, ensuring a clean, precise fit around the installed device.
  • Durable Nylon Construction: Molded from nylon for impact resistance, dimensional stability, and long-term durability in everyday residential and commercial use.
  • Single-Gang Design: Covers one standard receptacle opening, simplifying installation and alignment on standard single-gang electrical boxes.
  • Standard Wallplate Size: Sized to match standard electrical box openings for straightforward replacement or new-construction installation without special hardware.
  • Red Finish: A bold red color that supports quick visual identification of specific circuits, emergency panels, or device locations across a facility.

Cooper Wiring Devices 5131RD-BOX – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Cooper 5131RD red wallplate fit a standard duplex receptacle?
It fits a standard single receptacle opening, not a duplex. The 5131RD is a single-gang nylon plate with one standard receptacle cutout measuring 1.406 inches. A duplex receptacle needs a plate with the figure-eight double cutout, so if you are covering a two-outlet duplex device, this is the wrong plate. For duplex coverage, the Bryant P8 Series 1-gang duplex wallplate is the kind of plate you want.
2) I need a red plate but the device is a toggle switch, not a receptacle - what should I order instead?
The Cooper 5131RD-BOX has a standard receptacle cutout and will not fit a toggle switch. For a red 1-gang toggle opening, the Mulberry 41020 is a gas burner red 1-gang toggle switch plate in the 4102 series. Same single-gang box, different cutout, so match the plate to the device actually in the wall.
3) What is the closest single-gang duplex receptacle cover to the Cooper 5131RD-BOX if a different brand is required?
The Bryant P8 Series 1-Gang Duplex Wallplate covers the same arrangement - one gang over a duplex receptacle opening. The Cooper 5131RD-BOX is a standard-size nylon plate in red with a standard receptacle cutout and a 1.406 inch hole, so the difference to confirm is color and material: the Bryant P8 is identified by series rather than a red nylon finish. If the red is for circuit identification, that is the deciding factor.
4) What do I use if the box has two or three devices instead of one?
The Cooper 5131RD-BOX is single-gang only. For a two-gang opening, Pass and Seymour offers the TP703-LA TradeMaster 2-gang nylon plate in light almond and the TP126-LA Trademaster two-gang combination nylon plate, and Mulberry offers the 76432 and 76532 cold rolled steel 2-gang combination plates in white. For three gangs, the Eaton 7729V-SP is a decorator triple-gang cover and the Mulberry 76103 is a steel Princess-size 3-gang plate for three duplex receptacles.
5) Why would I use a red receptacle cover plate instead of white or ivory?
Red is a field-identification color. On emergency or generator-backed circuits, isolated-ground outlets, or dedicated equipment receptacles, a red plate tells anyone walking the building which outlets are on which system without tracing a circuit. Facility and MRO buyers standardize on it so maintenance crews do not plug general loads into a backed-up circuit. The 5131RD is red throughout the nylon, not painted, so it will not wear back to a lighter color at the screw holes.
6) Is this a standard size plate or a jumbo/oversized one?
Standard size. It is sized to a standard single-gang box opening, which means if your old plate was an oversized or jumbo one hiding rough drywall cuts or paint lines around the box, a standard plate may not cover them. For oversized coverage in the same general family of plates, a junior-jumbo style like the Pass & Seymour SPJ Series is the direction to look, though that one is a toggle switch opening rather than a receptacle cutout.
7) Will this cover a single 1.406 inch opening device like a 20A single receptacle or a locking outlet?
The cutout is a round 1.406 inch hole, which is the standard single-receptacle opening. Devices built to that single-receptacle face, including common single straight-blade and locking configurations that use the 1.406 inch bushing diameter, sit in it cleanly. If your device has a larger face or a decorator rectangular opening, you need a different plate.
8) Is a nylon plate like the Cooper 5131RD-BOX different from a steel or thermoset plate in a commercial corridor?
Yes, the difference is material. The Cooper 5131RD-BOX is molded nylon. Mulberry's 76432 and 76532 2-gang combination plates are cold rolled steel, and the Pass and Seymour SPJ Series is thermoset. Nylon plates are molded in color through the part, which is why a red identification plate is offered in nylon; steel and thermoset lines in the comparable set are offered in white or as finished metal. Pick on how the plate is specified for the facility, not on gang count alone.
9) Will the Cooper 5131RD-BOX cover a phone or data jack opening?
No. The Cooper 5131RD-BOX has a standard receptacle cutout with a 1.406 inch hole and is meant for a duplex receptacle. For voice or data, the Eaton 35324W is a wallplate with a 4-conductor data/voice modular jack, Type 625B4, and the Eaton 3533-4W is a surface mount telephone jack wallplate in white thermoplastic for RJ11/RJ14. Those carry the jack itself rather than framing an existing receptacle.
10) The box has no device in it - can I still use the Cooper 5131RD-BOX?
No, the Cooper 5131RD-BOX is cut for a standard receptacle and would leave the opening exposed. For an unused or abandoned box, the Pass and Seymour WPB Series blank wallplate in brushed aluminum has no device opening at all. Use that where the box is capped and the receptacle plate where a device is present.
11) What if the opening needs an oversized plate rather than a standard one?
The Cooper 5131RD-BOX is a standard wallplate size, so it will not hide a wide or ragged cut around the box. Larger-format options in the comparable set include the Pass and Seymour SPJ Series junior-jumbo thermoset plate, which has a toggle switch opening, and the Bryant PJ Series M-size plate for wiring devices. Confirm the cutout on the oversized plate matches the device before ordering.
12) Do mounting screws come with this Cooper wallplate, or do I need to order them?
The plate is sized to drop onto a standard electrical box and mount with the device's own 6-32 wallplate screws, so no special hardware is required for the install. If you are replacing an existing plate, reuse the screws that came out of the receptacle. On new devices the screws ship with the receptacle, not with the cover.
13) What is the Cooper part number for this red single receptacle plate, and how is it packed?
The manufacturer part number is 5131RD-BOX. The BOX suffix is Cooper's box-quantity packaging designation rather than a different plate, so distributors ordering by the bare 5131RD number are looking at the same red single-gang nylon receptacle plate.
14) How does the Bryant NP26W compare to the Cooper 5131RD-BOX for a single-gang install?
Both are 1-gang plates. The Bryant NP26W is from the HWS series, P26W pattern, while the Cooper 5131RD-BOX is a nylon plate in red with a standard receptacle cutout. If the job calls for color-coded identification of emergency or specific circuits, the red Cooper plate is the one that does that job; for a standard uncolored finish on the same single-gang box, the Bryant NP26W is the alternative.
