Can this actually completely replace the existing outlet wall plate, or does it only plug in/screw on TOP of the wall plate?

It screws into the existing wall plate with the supplied screw that goes into the center of the wall plate; on top of wall plate in your vernacular. Takes 30 seconds.

It completely replaced mine. There is no outlet plate behind mine; I don't think the adapter would fit securely or safely if there was a plate behind it. You screw the adapter unit directly to the outlet, not the outlet cover plate.

It just plugs in on top of the wall plate so it does add some width from the wall but with all the plug ins and the angles, it can save some space. Hope this helps.

This is just a plug multiplier. While the faceplate is removed the outlet remains. Where the screw in the center of your faceplate holds the faceplate in place the outlet multiplier screws in place to hold is so it doesn't come out when you unplug something.

It plugs in overtop of the existing wall plate with the option to be screwed in more securly by a middle screw again into the existing wall plate.

Yes it does. What you do to install this is first remove the protective plastic cover plate. You then plug the power strip into the top position of the wall outlet. A screw is provided in the Belkin outlet strip that you then screw into the same place that the cover plate did.

The instructions state: For use only with standard (duplex) receptacle having a center screw. Replaces existing wallplate. I believe what you are referring to is a standard Receptacle, just at 90 degrees. I see no reason why it would not work.

The Belkin SurgeMaster is wall mount-direct which will let you plug it directly to the wall outlet and no longer uses any screw.

The screw at the center of the plate is not necessary, it's just a way to secure the unit to the outlet it's plugged into. This may be helpful when you have all six outlets plugged in and you don't want to inadvertently pull the whole thing out by pulling one of the cords out.

Take the existing cover plate off and use the screw holes in the new unit to attach the new unit to the existing receptacle. It's an easy, solid, and straightforward install. You won't have any trouble in a standard outlet. Plus, it comes with instructions.

You can remove the screw, no problem. Its only be use for tighten in ac outlet purpose only. BUT, keep in mind, you have to not use too heavy adapter to plug in, Other wise it fall off from wall. Let me know for further assistance. Thanks, "Ram green art"

The short answer is "no" since it isn't designed for that. There are no holes to screw through it into the wall. If you already have a wall plug that is nearby, your best bet would be to get a replacement outlet that increases the number of plugs available. Although you could surely find some means for attaching this to a wall, I would not recommend it because of possible safety issues.

You could make that modification, but you would not be able to use the center screw to hold it to the wall. i think there would be times it might fall out of the outlet when there are several cords attached.

yes, this is just the electrical controls. You can use the existing outlet cover or buy a new one.

Remove the outlet plate from the electric recepticle (save the screw), plug in the 6 outlet wall unit, put the saved wall plate screw into the center hole of the 6 outlet wall unit and screw it back into the electric receptacle,

Ours was a new install not a replacement, but I'm pretty sure it used a different size electrical box so it's not that simple. It's bigger than a typical wall plate.

Actually, what you'll want to do is get a 3 gang low voltage bracket or box from your local hardware store. The bracket will hold onto the drywall and give you something solid for this wall plate to screw into.

The wall plate itself connects to a standard outlet box like any other wall plate (AC outlet, cable outlet, etc..). I found a handy one at ACE hardware that you can install from the front (outside) of the wall by just cutting the hole, inserting the box, and tighten down the "molly" like tabs. Run the wires inside the wall and into the box before inserting the outlet box into the wall. I hope that helps. Take a look at "Thomas & Betts #b120r Sg Old Work Box" on Amazon for an example of the outlet box.

The cover plate is removed, the new unit comes with an extra long center screw to hold it in place when you unplug an appliance.

It has wiring that needs to be connected to the worse coming out of your 120v wall outlet. My husband was able to do it by following the providing instructions and the color coded wiring. An electrician can do the same, but if someone you know can hookup an appliance to an existing outlet, you are all set.
