Hubbell Incorporated SWP8 Security Series 1-Gang Duplex Switch Plate

Security Series Duplex Plate

The Hubbell Security Series SWP8 is a single-gang duplex receptacle wall plate designed for institutional and commercial environments where durability and tamper resistance are required. Its shatter and crack resistant zinc-plated steel construction withstands heavy use and impact. Ligature resistant design reduces anchor points for improved safety in secure facilities. The plate mounts vertically over a standard duplex outlet.

Standard Size and Mounting Limits

This plate follows the standard single-gang footprint with an overall height of 5.5 in and overall width of 3.8 in, fitting typical junction boxes and wall openings. It provides one vertical duplex outlet opening and no switch openings, so it cannot accommodate toggle switches or combination devices. The polyester powder enamel finish resists corrosion and cleaning chemicals common in institutional settings. UL Listed compliance confirms it meets recognized safety standards for wiring devices.

Zinc Plated Steel Construction

The single specification that decides suitability is the zinc-plated steel material with shatter and crack resistant and ligature resistant properties. This construction is purpose-built for high-abuse areas such as correctional facilities, behavioural health units, and public housing where standard thermoplastic plates would fail. Buyers needing a decorative residential finish, non-metallic material, or multi-gang configurations should select a different plate type.
