4. Installation Instructions
Follow these steps to properly install your outlet concealer:
- Safety First: Before beginning installation, ensure the power to the electrical outlet box is turned off at the circuit breaker.
- Prepare the Area: Carefully remove any existing cover or fixture from the 4-inch outlet box.
- Position the Concealer: Place the Westinghouse 7006500 White Outlet Concealer over the 4-inch outlet box, aligning the two holes on the concealer with the screw holes on the outlet box. The holes are spaced 3-1/2 inches apart.
- Secure the Concealer: Insert the two provided 8-32 by 3/4-inch white head screws into the aligned holes and tighten them securely. Do not overtighten.
- Restore Power: Once the concealer is firmly in place, you may restore power to the circuit.

To clean the concealer, wipe it with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that may damage the finish.
6. Troubleshooting
- Concealer does not fit the outlet box: Ensure your outlet box is a standard 4-inch round box and that the screw holes are spaced 3-1/2 inches apart. This concealer is designed for these specific dimensions.
- Screws do not align: Double-check the alignment of the concealer with the outlet box screw holes. If the holes on your box are not 3-1/2 inches apart, this product may not be compatible.
- Concealer appears flimsy or gaps after installation: Ensure the screws are tightened sufficiently, but do not overtighten. The plate is designed to be flat; if the underlying surface is uneven, minor gaps may occur.
