The Lew Electric PUFP-CT-BK-PB Kitchen Countertop Pop-Up assembly with GFCI Outlet is a cutting-edge power solution designed to stay hidden within countertops or work surfaces, providing a sleek and safe electrical connection when you need it most. This recessed pop-up outlet meets the UL 498 Code and is perfect for use in areas requiring protection from liquids, such as kitchen countertops, bars, and workshops.

The pop-up outlet box is crafted for kitchen countertop installations and can easily blend into any modern, minimalist kitchen or workspace. When not in use, the outlet sits recessed in the countertop, maintaining a smooth and stylish appearance. Simply press the oval button to reveal the durable black metal outlet for immediate access to power. Its black finish makes it an excellent match for black countertops, offering both function and durability.

This Lew Electric pop-up outlet meets the latest 2023 NEC 406.5E standards for safe kitchen countertop outlet installations in the USA and Canada. The outlet features a duplex GFCI outlet with tamper-proof plugs and is UL 498 listed for reliability and safety. It has undergone rigorous testing, including the UL 498 spill test, endurance, mechanical load, dielectric voltage, and temperature tests. A gasket under the bezel ensures that liquids won’t enter the sides between the countertop and the base of the pop-up, keeping the outlet safe from moisture.

Safety is a top priority with the Lew Electric PUFP-CT-BK-PB pop-up outlet, which features a 20-amp outlet and GFCI protection. The outlet automatically shuts off power if it detects an unsafe interruption in the current, providing added protection. Its tamper-resistant (TR) plugs ensure that children can’t insert small objects into the outlet, further minimizing electrical hazards. Additionally, the outlet is backward compatible with 15A plugs, allowing you to safely use both 15A and 20A plugs.

This outlet also meets the ANSI/UL 943 standard for ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCI), making it a reliable and code-compliant solution for countertop power needs.

As per the NEC 2023 Code, outlets can no longer be installed on the sides of kitchen islands. The Lew Electric pop-up assembly is designed to meet these new standards, offering a safer and more convenient power solution by placing the outlet directly in the countertop. This eliminates the need for unsightly cords draped over the counter or plugged into side-mounted outlets, providing a clean and safe power solution right where you need it.

The Lew Electric PUFP-CT-BK-PB pop-up is ideal for kitchen countertops, but its versatile design makes it suitable for use in any space that requires recessed power. It is perfect for installation in wet locations like pantries, closets, garage workbenches, and bars, as well as for use in commercial settings such as airports, hotels and restaurants.

This outlet can power a variety of small appliances like coffee makers, blenders, toaster ovens, and warming trays. It can also be used to charge mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets with the appropriate adapters.

The Lew Electric PUFP-CT-BK-PB pop-up assembly offers a straightforward installation process, requiring just 1.97 inches of space beneath a 1 inch countertop. With a simple 4 ¹/₈″ x 4 ¹/₈″ hole, this outlet is compatible with a wide range of materials such as granite, quartz, marble, wood, laminate, and concrete. The included plastic back box with a lock nut ensures quick and secure mounting without the need for a power cord—simply hardwire through the knockouts. Designed for countertops up to 1.9 inches thick, this flexible power outlet is ideal for both residential and commercial installations. Whether you’re working with granite or laminate, as long as you can cut the hole, this recessed outlet will fit seamlessly into your space.
