Power and data distribution are crucial in commercial, industrial, and public settings. However, electrical components can be vulnerable to spills, cleaning processes, and environmental factors that may compromise performance and safety. Lew Electric’s surface-mounted pedestal boxes provide a reliable and durable solution to safeguard electrical connections from accidental liquid exposure.

These pedestal boxes—sometimes referred to as floor nozzles when installed on the floor or tombstones due to their upright, non-flush design—offer a practical and secure way to maintain power access in unique environments. As part of Lew Electric’s comprehensive product line, these boxes ensure you can truly have power everywhere.

How Surface-Mounted Pedestal Boxes Minimize Risk

One of the biggest concerns in high-traffic environments is the potential for spills or moisture exposure. Lew Electric’s pedestal boxes are specifically designed to mitigate these risks:

1. Elevated Design for Protection Against Liquids

By being mounted above the surface, these pedestal boxes keep electrical and data connections safely away from potential liquid spills. This design significantly reduces the risk of moisture infiltration, preventing short circuits and ensuring uninterrupted operation.

2. Durable Construction for Long-Term Reliability

Made from high-quality materials, Lew Electric pedestal boxes are built to withstand demanding conditions. Their rugged design ensures they remain functional and reliable over time, even in the most challenging environments.

3. Flexible Power & Data Integration

Lew Electric pedestal boxes offer multiple faceplate configurations to accommodate:

Standard power outlets (including GFCI for enhanced safety)
USB charging ports for convenient device charging
RJ45 Ethernet & HDMI connections for seamless data access
Low-voltage AV & security connections to support integrated systems

Ideal Applications for Surface-Mounted Pedestal Boxes

Lew Electric pedestal boxes provide an effective solution for a wide range of applications, including:

  • Commercial offices – Ensuring safe and accessible power in conference rooms and open workspaces.
  • Retail environments – Providing power to register stations, kiosks, and sales counters while minimizing exposure to spills.
  • Educational institutions – Offering durable and protected connections in classrooms, auditoriums, and research labs.
  • Industrial facilities – Delivering a secure power source for workstations, manufacturing floors, and testing centers.
  • Public spaces – Libraries, airports, hotels, and convention centers where spill protection is essential.

Conclusion: Reliable and Spill-Resistant Solutions

When selecting a power and data distribution solution, safety, durability, and ease of installation should be top priorities. Lew Electric’s surface-mounted pedestal boxes provide a highly effective way to protect electrical connections from accidental spills while offering versatile functionality in various settings.

Ensure safety and efficiency in your space—choose Lew Electric pedestal boxes for a reliable, spill-resistant power solution.
