How To Fit A Pop-Up Or Pull-Up Socket Unit Into A Kitchen Worktop
A kitchen countertop pop up electrical outlet is the easiest ways to upgrade your kitchen bringing it into the modern age. Fitting your kitchen pop-up outlet does not require an electrician. Therefore it can be easily undertaken by the home handyman. Providing your existing sockets are in the right location, installation will take minutes.
Selecting the right countertop pop up electrical outlet
You can choose to have two or four outlets coupled with a USB charger and a wireless charging top. There is also the choice between manual or automatic pop-up functions. A browse through our range will give you all of the features of each model, including technical specifications to help you choose.
Standard electrical outlets
For optimal aesthetics and functionality, position your outlets below counter height, hidden inside cupboards. This keeps your kitchen worktop power sockets discreet while ensuring that all wiring and leads remain neatly tucked away for safety. If you need to relocate your existing outlets, a licensed electrician must handle the work.
Measuring up
Cut a hole in your countertop to the correct size for the kitchen worktop socket. Make sure the hole is large enough for the socket but small enough for the lip to sit securely on the edge. When choosing a location, also consider the space needed beneath your bench for the socket to fully retract and sit flush when not in use.
Installation
After fitting the kitchen worktop power socket to your counter, plug it into your standard electrical outlet, just like any appliance. That’s it! Your new kitchen countertop pop-up outlet is ready to use.
Benefits of installing a countertop pop up electrical outlet
Now you’re ready to use your outlet. You can power multiple appliances and charge your phone or tablet at the same time. Once you’re done in the kitchen, simply retract the outlet. Your counter remains smooth and uninterrupted, and the outlet stays protected from spills or splashes. *This applies to spill-sealed models only.
A countertop pop up electrical outlet is not just for the kitchen
Once you experience the convenience of a kitchen worktop socket, you’ll likely want to install them in other rooms. Any surface where you use electrical devices can become a pop-up outlet. Whether it’s your office desk, a side cabinet, or anywhere you need to plug in, you can enjoy the streamlined look. You won’t have to deal with visible white boxes on the wall or extension cords creating trip hazards. This clean, efficient solution works in any room you choose.
