Frequently Asked Questions
What problem do these spacers solve?
They are designed to help support compatible outlets and switches that sit too far behind the finished wall surface.
Can several spacers be stacked together?
The modular design allows multiple pieces to be stacked when additional spacing is required, subject to proper fit and installation.
Will they remain visible?
When correctly installed, the spacers normally sit behind the electrical device and wall plate.
Do these repair every loose outlet?
No. They are intended for spacing and support issues. Damaged boxes, loose wiring, broken devices, overheating, discoloration or sparking require inspection by a qualified electrician.
Is electrical experience required?
Electrical work carries risk. Always turn off and verify power before beginning. Hire a licensed electrician when you are uncertain or local rules require one.
Important Safety Notice
Do not work on an energized electrical circuit. Stop immediately and contact a licensed electrician if you notice sparks, heat, burning odors, discoloration, damaged wiring, a cracked electrical box or any condition beyond a simple spacing issue.
