Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What size electrical boxes are these wall plate spacers compatible with?
A: These metal wall plate spacers are designed to fit standard single-gang electrical boxes. Measuring 4.25" × 2.28", they provide a universal fit for most residential and commercial outlet and switch boxes in the United States and internationally.
