Kitchen Counter Pop Up Outlet, Charging USB A/C, Plastic Back Box, 20A, Graphite Black

Lew Electric PUFP-CT-GB-AC-PB Pop Up Countertop USB Outlet in Graphite 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 duplex 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.

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 Outlet and USB A and C Charging Ports

The pop up provides both a USB-A charging port, and a USB-C charging port. There is a smart chip inside the outlet making the USB intelligent charging ports. The ports automatically adapt to the device being plugged in, and send the maximum amount of power the device can handle, ensuring it won’t be over-charged.

The USB-A charging port is Quick Charge (QC) 3.0 rated and can provide up to 27 Watts of fast charging power. 

The USB-C charging port is QC 3.0 and Power Deliver (PD 2.0) rated, it can charge devices at an incredibly fast rate, up to 30 Watts. The PD 2.0 not only allows users to charge phones and tablets, but also laptops.

The outlet is 20 Amp rated, allowing the most power hungry small appliances to be plugged in. 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. 

Safe Countertop Approved Outlet

A centrally located countertop pop 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 the cord over the edge of the counter. Never again run cords over the counter hoping it reaches the middle of your island. Pop up outlets provide a functional, safe, and appealing look in any countertop.

***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***

Beautiful Recessed Power and Charging In-Counter Outlet 

The Lew Electric PUFP-CT-GB-AC-PB is perfect for any countertop location, as well as kitchen islands. It can be used in potentially wet locations requiring recessed power such as pantries, closets, garage work benches, bars, and varied uses at airports, hotels and restaurants. Use the pop up outlet to power up to two 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 via the two USB charging ports. Up to four devices can safely be plugged in at once. The pop up can be installed in granite, quartz, marble, wood, laminate, concrete, or any surface up to 1.9″ thick, where the required 4 1/8″ x 4 1/8″ hole can be cut.

With the pop up outlet, get power and charging exactly where it is desired in your counter, while meeting electrical code, and keep dangerous cords from hanging over the sides of counters.
