The Hubbell RU170W20A is a hardwired power box system that mounts underneath your cabinet with a 20 amp outlet. The box is white, and the outlet is a matching white. Keep your beautiful backsplash outlet free with under cabinet power, no more ugly white outlets in your backsplash.
Easy to Use Slim Profile Angled Power Strip
The box installs at an angle under your cabinet making it simple to plug in appliances into the outlet. The box can be installed horizontally under the cabinet so it is not seen, or vertically for even easier access to the outlets. The box is 5.6" long, 3.39" deep, and only 1.63" thick. This is the slim version box, and slim decora outlet, making it the thinnest profile product to mount an outlet under a cabinet. The box takes up zero space inside the cabinet.
20A Tamper Resistant Matching White Outlet
The outlet is 20 amp rated to accept the most demanding appliances being plugged into it. The outlet features tamper resistant (TR) plugs to meet code and the safety of children. The white outlet matches the white box for a clean look under the cabinet. The outlet is a standard decora outlet, so if needed, the outlet can easily be replaced should your power requirements change. The 20A outlet is backwards compatible with 15A plugs, meaning that both 15A plugs and 20A plugs, can be plugged into the outlet. The outlet is rated for residential and commercial applications.
Quick Installation
Feed your wire through one of the 6 knockouts in the box. There are 2 on the back, 2 on the bottom, and 1 on each side. Wire up the receptacle, and install the receptacle in the box. Use the included template to drill the holes through the cabinet, and then use the included screws to mount the power box to the underside of the cabinet. Alternatively, the box can be wall mounted if desired. The outlet will need to be installed on a GFCI circuit.
NEC and UL Approved for Kitchens
The box is UL E31999 listed for USA installations, and cUL and CSA approved for Canada installations. The boxes must be installed between 15 inches and 20 inches above the countertop surface to comply with NEC kitchen receptacle code.
Under cabinet power strips are a reliable and affordable solution to have no outlets in your backsplash, and create a super clean and modern look in your kitchen. The under cabinet power system includes the box and receptacle.
How Many Do I Need?
The code for outlets under the cabinet is the same requirements as if they were installed in the backsplash. This is typically every 2 feet, however, we highly recommend consulting with your electrician to verify your specific requirements.
