Switches, receptacles and wall plates for facility upkeep, tenant fit-outs and repairs. You will find single-pole, three-way and four-way switches, dimmers, duplex and single receptacles, GFCI receptacles, tamper-resistant and weather-resistant receptacles and USB combination outlets. Wall plates come in nylon, thermoplastic, stainless steel and metal, in toggle, duplex, decorator and blank styles.
What to check before you order
- Amp rating and NEMA configuration. 15 A and 20 A receptacles have different face shapes (NEMA 5-15R and 5-20R). Match the circuit and the plugs that will be used.
- Location requirements. Code calls for GFCI protection, tamper-resistant or weather-resistant devices in certain locations. Your electrician will know which apply.
- Plate size and opening. Count the gangs and match the opening to the device. Oversized plates help cover a rough wall cutout.
- Color and grade. Match the color of the existing devices, and choose a grade suited to how hard the location is used.
Replacing devices should be done by a qualified person to code. Boxes and weatherproof covers are under boxes, conduit and strut, outlet testers are under testers and meters, and the full range is in electrical supplies.
Common questions
What is the difference between a 15 amp and a 20 amp outlet?
A 20 A receptacle has a T-shaped neutral slot that accepts 20 A plugs as well as standard 15 A plugs. Which receptacle a circuit allows is set by code, so have a qualified person confirm it.
