Southwire DLC-UPC Device Leveling Plate 3-pack

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE DLC-UPC is a zinc-plated steel device leveling plate designed to support electrical switches, outlets, and other single-gang devices installed in oversized drywall cutouts. The flat, C-shaped profile seats firmly around the device, preventing it from shifting or being pushed back into the wall cavity during and after installation. Each pack includes 3 plates, making it practical to stock for multi-outlet rough-ins or trim-out work. The zinc-plated finish provides corrosion resistance in standard interior environments. This is a simple, low-profile solution that speeds up finish work without requiring specialized tools.

The DLC-UPC is used in residential and light commercial electrical work wherever a drywall opening is cut slightly oversized for a standard single-gang device box. Electricians reach for this plate during device installation trim-out when a switch or receptacle rocks or recesses rather than sitting flush. It is compatible with standard single-gang flush-mount devices and is typically installed at the same time the device is seated and screwed into the box.
