The LEGRAND TP82BK is a two-gang, mid-size nylon wall plate designed to cover dual duplex receptacle openings in residential and commercial electrical installations. Molded from self-extinguishing nylon, this plate is built for durability in high-traffic environments where standard plates are prone to cracking or breaking. At 4.76 inches wide and 5.75 inches tall, the mid-size profile runs approximately 3/16 inches larger than standard plates in both dimensions, providing better coverage over older boxes or walls with minor surface imperfections. Licensed electricians and experienced DIYers install this plate as a finish-out component on duplex outlet circuits.
The TP82BK is suited for two-gang duplex outlet configurations in residential, light commercial, and institutional settings. It fits standard two-gang electrical boxes and is commonly installed in kitchens, offices, hallways, and utility spaces where a clean black finish is specified. The mid-size format is a practical upgrade when standard plates leave gaps around box edges or cover plates from previous installations.

Installation Notes
Installation is performed by a licensed electrician or qualified individual following NEC guidelines. De-energize the circuit at the breaker before removing or installing any wall plate. Align the plate over the two-gang box and secure with the provided or matching screws, taking care not to overtighten and crack the nylon. Verify the plate sits flush against the wall surface before restoring power.
