WALL PLATE, PHONE, FLUSH, 1-PORT, SS

Stainless Steel Flush Mount Phone Wall Plate – 1-Port

The Wall Plate, Phone, Flush, 1-Port, SS is a premium single-gang wall plate designed to provide a clean, professional finish for telephone jack installations. The flush mount design sits flat against the wall, eliminating bulky protrusions. Constructed from durable stainless steel (SS), this plate resists corrosion, fingerprints, and impact damage, making it suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial environments. It is an essential cable management accessory for any structured cabling project involving voice or analog phone lines.

Stainless Steel Construction and Flush Design

This wall plate is fabricated from high-grade stainless steel with a brushed or satin finish (depending on the variant). Unlike plastic plates that can crack, yellow, or warp over time, stainless steel offers superior durability and a professional appearance. The flush mount design means the plate sits level with the wall surface when installed, reducing snag points and providing a sleek, low-profile look. The single-port opening accepts standard Keystone or 6P6C/RJ11 phone jack inserts (jack sold separately). This wall plate accessory is ideal for kitchens, offices, and high-traffic areas.

Easy Installation and Compatibility

The wall plate fits standard single-gang electrical boxes (vertical or horizontal mounting). Two pre-drilled mounting holes align with standard box screw spacing. Installation is simple: secure the phone jack insert into the plate, attach the incoming phone cable to the jack, then mount the plate to the wall box using the included screws (or standard wall plate screws). The stainless steel material resists bending and stripping, so screws tighten firmly without cracking. This plate can also be used for other low-voltage applications such as network jacks, audio connections, or blank covers with a single port.

Why Choose Stainless Steel Over Plastic

Plastic wall plates are common but have drawbacks: they become brittle with age, show scratches clearly, absorb stains, and can melt or deform if exposed to heat. Stainless steel plates are fire-resistant, easy to clean with disinfectant wipes, and maintain their appearance for decades. They are also preferred in medical, food service, and industrial settings where hygiene and durability are critical. The brushed finish hides minor scratches and fingerprints. This network accessory offers long-term value compared to disposable plastic alternatives.

Best Practices for Installation

For a professional installation, follow these guidelines:

• Use a compatible Keystone or RJ11 phone jack insert (sold separately) – ensure it snaps securely into the plate opening.
• If mounting to a metal wall box, use insulated jack inserts to prevent grounding issues.
• Leave 6–8 inches of service loop cable inside the wall for future re-termination.
• Use a level to ensure the plate is straight before tightening screws completely.
• For outdoor or damp locations, pair with a weather-resistant gasket (not included).
