Premise Wiring SS8 Stainless Steel Wallplate 1 Gang Duplex

Product Description

The PREMISE WIRING SS8 is a stamped, twist-lock type single-gang wallplate designed to cover one duplex receptacle outlet. Constructed from 302/304 stainless steel at 0.035 inches thick, it delivers corrosion resistance suited to harsh and marine environments where standard steel or plastic plates fail prematurely. The horizontal brushed finish installs in a vertical orientation and mounts using a stainless steel slotted head screw. A protective plastic film is applied at the factory to prevent surface scratches during handling and installation. Electricians and marine electrical contractors install this plate as a finish component on standard duplex outlet boxes.

The SS8 is rated for environments from -40 to 85 degrees C, making it appropriate for marine, industrial, and highly corrosive indoor or outdoor locations. Its non-magnetic 302/304 stainless steel construction is especially relevant on vessels or in facilities where magnetic interference is a concern. The standard designated size fits a single-gang outlet box with a duplex receptacle. This plate is compliant with RoHS directives and carries UL and CSA approvals, meeting the requirements for both US and Canadian electrical installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and any applicable local codes.
