Wall plate for three duplex outlets?
 

I'm mounting three duplex outlets in a three-gang box. Actually, two
duplex outlets and one of those single-outlet/single light-switch combo
units that fits a duplex wall plate. So I need a wall plate with six
outlet openings. I can't find one.

There are sectional plates that you stack together to make any
combination you want. They're not that hard to find if you know to look
for them. HTH

Thanks -- I've seen and used them before and they always look kind of
clunky. Hoping to find something all of one piece.

Use decora receptacles if you can't find the regular plate

Very simple... just jog down to Home Despot and see what they have.

All the combo's like that which I've seen had the switch set up to fit into
a norma outlet hole, so a normal dual outlet cover would fit. In your case
all you'd need is a double wallplate for four outlets.

But I need a triple wallplate for six outlets.

This is a triple-gang box with two duplex outlets and one
single-outlet/switch combo. So it has five outlets and one switch. I can
find Decora equivalents for the two two duplex outlets, but can't find a
Decora equivalent for the single-outlet/switch combo.

Thank you Caller Number 2! Reed beat you by 31 minutes (on my server).
As a consolation prize you win a hearty handclasp and this set of
playing cards with pictures of Estes Park on the backs.

(Thank you for the help!)

This is a triple-gang box with two duplex outlets and one
single-outlet/switch combo. So it has five outlets and one switch. I can
find Decora equivalents for the two two duplex outlets, but can't find a
Decora equivalent for the single-outlet/switch combo.

Yes. I saw Reed's post about 5 minutes after I posted. It's also amazing
that we found the same website.
You can keep the cards. Shipping and handling charges would be worth more
than the link. ;-)

But . . . playing cards! Estes Park! Are you sure?

Well dad-gum it. When my younger brother worked at Dixieline or HD or
something like that, he said that the philosophy was to stock 90% of the
items a customer might need. Or the most popular 90% of items. Which
means that I, who lives on the edge of the bell curve, usually end up
not finding the last 10% of the stuff I do need. The outlet/switch combo
DOES exist, just no retailers around here stock it.

Same thing... a switch/outlet looks like a normal duplex outlet.
