Leviton Pop-Up Floor Box with 15 Amp Tamper-Resistant Outlet - Low

In this review of the Leviton Pop-Up Floor Box with 15 Amp, Tamper-Resistant Outlet the bottom line is simple: this is a practical floor box for installers and homeowners who want a low profile, durable electrical access point that is quick to wire. The reviewer found it ideal for living rooms, conference spaces, and open-plan offices where a recessed outlet is preferred. The single biggest reason to buy is the time saving installation thanks to the pre-wired terminal block, which reduces fiddly wiring and speeds up typical floor box installs.

Key Features

• Time saving installation: The pre-wired terminal block lets an installer insert wires and tighten screws quickly, reducing labor time on each installation.
• Low profile cover: The stylish metal cover recesses into the floor and drops to about 1/4 in above the floor when closed, keeping the room surface unobstructed.
• Ingress protection: The unit meets or exceeds UL 514A and is IP 44 rated for protection from water spray when the cover is closed, adding peace of mind in high-traffic areas.
• Versatile flooring compatibility: It can be installed in tile, stone, wood, laminate, carpet, concrete and vinyl, making it suitable for many renovation projects.
• Tamper-resistant outlet: The built-in shutter mechanism blocks access to contacts unless a two- or three-prong plug is inserted, improving safety in homes and public spaces.

Who It's For

This floor box is best for electricians, contractors and handy homeowners who need a recessed 15 Amp duplex outlet that looks neat and installs fast. It suits living rooms, meeting rooms, and retail floors where a near-flush outlet and reliable protection from splashes are desirable.

Those who need ground-fault protection, multi-gang floor boxes, or specialty low-voltage AV plates should look elsewhere; this product is focused on a single decora duplex outlet and does not replace a GFCI or a larger modular floor system.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Pre-wired terminal block makes wiring quick and straightforward for professionals and competent DIYers.
• Low-profile brass cover recesses into the floor for an unobtrusive finished look.
• IP 44 rating and compliance with UL 514A give confidence against splash ingress when closed.
• Tamper-resistant duplex outlet improves safety in homes and public spaces.

Cons

• Some buyers report mixed longevity, so heavy commercial use may require periodic inspection.
• The product is a single duplex outlet, so projects needing multiple circuits or integrated low-voltage plates will need additional components.
