Detailed information

IDEAL Electrical™ Outlet Spacers are a convenient and simplified solution for quickly adjusting the depth of receptacles or switches to ensure a proper fit for faceplates. These caterpillar-style shims have flexible 1/8-inch sections you can tear away or combine to create custom depths, ensuring your outlets are flush with your surface. Perfect for supporting loose outlets and preventing faceplates from breaking, these spacers snap over #6, #8, and #10 screws, slipping easily between the device and the electrical box. Just add a spacer shim over the screw between the device and electrical box then tighten back to its original position. They also eliminate the need to cut plate screws for GFCI devices making IDEAL Electrical Spacer Shims a user-friendly solution for saving time and ensuring safe installations.

  • CUSTOMIZABLE: Tear away or connect the 1/8 in sections to create your desired shim depth
  • EASY ADJUSTMENTS: Quickly adjust the placement of receptacles and switches for well fitted face plates
  • NO CUTS NECESSARY: Skip the stress of cutting your plate screws – opt for a fast extension solution
  • COMPATIBLE: Easily slips over #6, #8, and #10 screws
  • WHEN TO USE: Not intended to be used in place when in conflict with governing electrical codes. Do not use if the finish is wood or combustible without a proper barrier

I would absolutely recommend these lever connectors and will surely be using them in the future! Those connectors were super easy to work with, didn’t seem flimsy like other brands, and were super easy to install as well as remove
