Kitchen Counter Pop Up Receptacle, 20A GFCI, Plastic Back Box, All-Black Lew Electric

Lew Electric PUFP-CT-ABK-PB Pop Up Countertop GFCI Outlet in All-Black

Meets NEC Electrical Code 2023 406.5E for Installation in Countertops

The pop up meets 2017, 2020, and 2023 NEC 406.5E for kitchen countertop installations in the USA and Canada. The single duplex GFCI outlet has tamper-proof plugs and is UL 498 listed. The pop up has passed the UL 498 half gallon spill test, as well as endurance, mechanical load, dielectric voltage, and temperature tests. There is also a gasket under the bezel to keep liquids from entering the sides between the countertop and the base of the pop up.

Easy to Thread on Lock Nut Installation with a Shallow Depth

The pop up only needs 1.97” of space under a 3cm countertop, and requires a 4 1/8” x 4 1/8” hole to be cut for installation. A plastic back box features a lock nut that makes it extremely easy to install, simply thread the lock nut on the box to secure to the underside of the counter. The outlet does not have a power cord; simply hardwire power into the outlet by running it through the knockouts in the rear of the back box.

Tamper Proof GFCI 20A Outlet for Safety

The outlet is 20 Amp rated allowing the most power hungry small appliances to be plugged in. The outlet has integrated GFCI protection providing safety right at the source, if the outlet recognizes an unsafe interruption in the current, it will automatically shut off power to the outlet. The plugs are tamper resistant (TR) meeting code, and offer the peace of mind knowing that children can’t put small objects into the sockets and electrocute themselves. The 20A outlet is backwards compatible with 15A plugs, meaning that both 15A plugs and 20A plugs, can be plugged into the outlet. The outlet meets the ANSI/UL 943 standard for safety for ground fault circuit interrupters. 

***NEC 2023 Code states that outlets can no longer be placed on the sides of islands anymore, use an approved pop up outlet in your countertop that meets UL 498 code***

In-Counter Outlet Where it is Needed Most

A centrally located inset countertop tilt up outlet adds convenience to provide power and charging where needed most. Eliminate the need to plug into the side of an island, and unsafely drape cords over the edge of the counter. Never again run cords over the counter hoping it reaches the middle of your island. If you are wanting to meet 2023 code, then you can place the outlet in the top of the countertop.  Pop up outlets provide a functional, safe, and beautiful look in your countertop.

Plug in Power for Numerous Applications

The Lew Electric PUFP-CT-ABK-PB meets electrical code for kitchen countertop installations, but can also be used in any other potentially wet locations that require recessed power such as pantries, closets, garage work benches, bars, and varied uses at airports, hotels and restaurants. Use the pop up to power small appliances such as coffee makers, blenders, toaster ovens, warming trays, and other items. It can also be used for charging mobile devices such as tablets and phones with an appropriate adapter. The pop up can be installed in granite, quartz, marble, wood, laminate, concrete, or any surface up to 1.9″ where the required 4 1/8” x 4 1/8” hole can be cut.
