There are some kitchen innovations that I must have. Here's another:
The Carlon Pop-Up Kitchen Receptacle from Thomas & Betts provides a GFCI outlet on islands or peninsulas where general wall outlets aren't necessarily practical. Aside from being better looking that an end mounted outlet, it prevents lots of potential safety hazards from lower hanging electrical cords.

In the rare event that a spill gets near the outlet, a gasket seals the electrical components from liquids preventing an damage or unsafe moments.
It's really easy to use... just lightly press down and the outlet pops up!
The Carlon Pop-Up Receptacle fits neatly in any kitchen or other workstation top. It also meets the new UL and FEC specs for counter receptacles.
As always, you should check your local code to make sure they are compliant.

I received a quote from Kirby Risk... $323.08 for the Nickel version.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting that info- Always good to shop around!
ReplyDeleteThis sucks...despite how they advertise everywhere, they are NOT CSA compliant for kitchen countertops as they are only 15amp, and you require 20amp to meet Canadian electrical code, or alternatively have the upper and lower receptacle be on a separate 15ampm which they are not.
