Meeting Electrical Code with the Smallest Single Receptacle Floor Box

Modern architectural trends favor open floor plans, expansive windows, and minimalistic designs, creating beautiful and functional spaces. However, these designs present a challenge when it comes to meeting National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements for outlet placement. According to NEC Section 210.52, receptacles must be installed every 12 feet in most living areas, ensuring that no point along a wall is more than 6 feet from an outlet. But what happens when there are no walls—such as in large open rooms, the top of staircases, or along floor-to-ceiling windows?

The solution is a single receptacle floor box, which ensures compliance while preserving the clean, uncluttered look of modern spaces. And for those who want the smallest possible option to meet code, Lew Electric’s ultra-compact single receptacle floor box is the ideal choice.

The Smallest and Most User-Friendly Single Receptacle Floor Box

Lew Electric has designed one of the smallest single receptacle floor boxes available, making it the perfect option for people who need to meet code with the least intrusive product.
