Detailed information

IDEAL® Outlet Spacers are a practical solution for adjusting the depth of receptacles or switches to ensure a proper fit for faceplates. 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. They also eliminate the need to cut plate screws for GFCI decorator devices when installed on tile and marble, and can be used as shims. The tear-apart spacers have a 1/8 inch thickness, and can be combined to create the desired shim depth, providing a versatile and reliable option for any electrical installation.

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
