 I installed both the SWO-GX receptacle and the WPC-Z base plate a number of years ago. I'm now in the process of moving and wish to remove both. But can't seem to remove the base plate. Have removed the center screw but plate seems to still grab tight against the receptacle. Can someone advise me on what I may be missing or doing wrong in the process of attempting to remove it would appreciate.

Thanks.

The WPC-Z bracket is affixed to the electrical box at the wall by using the screw holes intended for any AC outlet without a WPC-Z wall bracket. You will notice two u-shaped slots at the opening where the mounting screws for the bracket are to be positioned.

Then, you will notice the AC outlet is affixed with 4 screws to the WPC-Z bracket via the AC receptacle "ears", two screw holes above, and two screw holes below, right next to each u-shaped slot.

The center screw you mentioned is only for securing the carbon fiber faceplate to the front of the AC outlet mounted on the aluminum bracket.

 Thank you so much! What i hadn't remember, but finally jostled out was the carbon fiber inset which then revealed how to remove both the receptacle and the base plate.

Appreciate you taking the time and the photos. Thank you Duster. Obliged
