Flush Mount Installation

Create a gorgeous look in your kitchen by flush mounting the pop up outlet even to the countertop.  It recesses in the counter so no part of the pop up is above the counter. Flush mounting creates a clean and hidden look for your power. 

Please contact your stone fabricator before ordering. The fabricator will need to make a 4″ counterbore cut with a depth of .09″ where the bezel will be, using a CNC machine is recommended. If a flush installation can’t be accomplished, this model can also be surface mounted. Alternatively, this same pop up is available in a surface mount installation model. The only difference is the surface mount model has a rounded edge and sits on top of your counter.
