80401-W - Genuine OEM Leviton Decora Wall Plate, 1 Gang, White

80401-W - Genuine OEM Leviton Decora Wall Plate, 1 Gang, White

The 80401-W Genuine OEM Leviton Decora Wall Plate is a 1-gang, standard-size wall plate designed for compatible Decora and GFCI devices. Manufactured by Leviton, this white wall plate features a durable thermoset plastic construction, device mounting, and a clean Decora design suitable for residential electrical installations. Leviton specifies that the 80401-W is UL/CSA certified and carries a 2-year limited warranty.

Available through Appliance Kingdom for customers across Canada, the 80401-W is an ideal replacement when an existing wall plate is cracked, damaged, discoloured, missing, or simply needs to be replaced with a matching Leviton Decora wall plate.

What Does the Leviton 80401-W Wall Plate Do?

The 80401-W provides the finished cover around a compatible Decora or GFCI device installed in a standard 1-gang electrical box. In addition to giving the installation a clean, finished appearance, the wall plate covers the area surrounding the electrical device and helps protect the installation from everyday contact.

Leviton specifies a standard-size, 1-gang design made from thermoset plastic. The smooth face and rounded edges are designed to resist dust accumulation, while the material provides resistance to fading, discoloration, grease, oil, organic solvents, moisture and scratches.

Using the correct wall plate is important for achieving a proper fit around the installed device and maintaining the intended appearance and coverage of the electrical installation.

Common Reasons to Replace a Wall Plate

Unlike an electrical switch or receptacle, a wall plate is primarily a protective and finishing component. Replacement is commonly appropriate when the existing plate is:

• Cracked or broken

• Chipped or physically damaged

• Scratched or heavily worn

• Discoloured

• Loose or missing

• Stained or difficult to clean

• No longer matching the surrounding Decora devices

If your existing wall plate is damaged but the underlying switch or receptacle is functioning correctly, replacing the wall plate can restore the finished appearance without replacing the electrical device itself.

Will Replacing the 80401-W Fix My Problem?

If the problem is a damaged, missing, worn, or unsightly 1-gang Decora wall plate, replacing it with the 80401-W can resolve the wall-plate issue.

However, the 80401-W is a wall plate, not an electrical switch, receptacle, or GFCI device. If you are experiencing electrical problems such as a device that does not work, repeated tripping, sparking, overheating, or other electrical faults, the underlying electrical device and installation should be inspected separately by a qualified professional.

Compatibility & Ordering Guidance

The 80401-W is a 1-gang, standard-size Leviton Decora/GFCI device wall plate with device mounting. It is intended for compatible Decora-style devices installed in a standard 1-gang application.

Before ordering, verify:

• Your existing installation is a 1-gang configuration

• The installed device uses a compatible Decora-style opening

• You require a standard-size wall plate

• White is the required finish

• The mounting arrangement matches your existing installation

If you are replacing an existing Leviton wall plate, compare the catalogue number and physical configuration before ordering.

Installation Overview

Replacing a wall plate is generally a simple installation when the existing electrical device and wiring are already correctly installed. The wall plate is secured to the compatible electrical device using the appropriate mounting screw.

For basic wall-plate replacement, an experienced DIYer can typically complete the job using a screwdriver.

Always turn off power when working around electrical devices and follow appropriate electrical safety procedures. If the underlying switch, receptacle, GFCI, wiring, or electrical box requires servicing, use a qualified electrician.
