Meets NEC Electrical Code 406.5E for Installation in Countertops

The pop up was specifically designed to meet code for kitchen and wet location installations, it meets 2014 National Electrical Code (NEC) 406.5E for countertop use in the USA and Canada. The outlet is tamper proof and is UL listed, the pop up as a complete unit is ETL listed for USA installations, and cETL and CSA approved for Canada installations. The pop up features an IP44 water rating, and is splash rated for wet location installations, there is also a gasket under the bezel to keep water from entering from the sides between the countertop and the base of the pop up.

Easy to Install Hardwired Application with a Shallow Depth

The pop up only needs 2.25” of space under a 3cm countertop, and requires a 4 1/16” x 4 1/16” hole to be cut to install. Included is a metal back box that attaches to the underside of your countertop with glue for stone, or screws for wood. The outlet does not have a power cord, simply hardwire your power into the outlet by first running it through the knockouts in the rear of the back box. The outlet needs to be wired to a GFCI circuit (typically done at the panel with a GFCI breaker), or tapped off of a GFCI outlet. Then if the outlet recognizes an unsafe interruption in the current, it will automatically shut off power to the outlet.

Tamper Proof 20A Power and USB Charging Outlet

There are two 20 Amp plugs and two USB charging ports. The USB ports are rated for 3.6 Amps of shared power. There is a smart chip inside the outlet making the USB intelligent charging ports. They will automatically adapt to the device being plugged in, and send the maximum amount of power that the device can handle, ensuring that your device won’t be over-charged. The plugs are tamper resistant (TR) so you meet code, and give you the peace of mind knowing that little lids can’t put any small objects in the outlet and electrocute themselves. The outlet has passed UL’s 12oz spill test rating. 

Eliminate Dangerous Cords Hanging Over Your Island

A pop up outlet centrally located in your counter adds convenience to provide power and charging where you need it most. You no longer have to plug into the side of your island, and run the cord over the counter and hope it reaches to the middle of your island. Not having draping cords hanging over the side of the counter removes a huge risk factor.  It can be easy for children to catch the cord with their arm, creating a tripping hazard, or cause whatever appliance is on the counter to fall on them. Pop up outlets provide a functional, yet beautiful look in your countertop.

Convenient Power and Charging Where You Need It

The Lew Electric PUFP-CT-DB-20A-2USB meets code for kitchen countertop installations, but can also be used in any other potentially wet location that requires recessed power such as pantries, airports, restaurants, bars, and hotels. Use the pop up to power small appliances such as coffee makers, blenders, toaster ovens, and warming trays. It can also be used for charging mobile devices such as tablets and phones via the two USB charging ports. The pop up can be installed in granite, quartz, wood, laminate, concrete, or any surface up to 2″ thick that you can cut the required 4 1/16” x 4 1/16” hole.
