Leviton Pop-Up Floor Box with GFCI Outlet - Low Profile Install

Our review of the Leviton Pop-Up Floor Box finds it best suited for contractors, electricians, and homeowners who want a discreet power solution in living spaces or commercial floors. The single biggest reason to buy is its combination of a low profile metal cover that recesses into the floor and a pre-wired terminal block that saves installation time, making it a practical choice when a flush, durable outlet is needed. The Brushed Nickel finish gives it a modern look while the built-in self-test GFCI provides ongoing safety reassurance.

Key Features

• Time saving installation: The pre-wired terminal block lets an installer simply insert wires and tighten screws, reducing wiring time on the job.
• Low profile design: The metal cover recesses into the floor when closed so above-floor height is reduced to 1/4 in for a discreet appearance.
• Ingress protection: The enclosure meets or exceeds UL 514A and is IP44 rated when closed, protecting against water spray from any direction.
• Flooring versatility: Designed for use with tile, stone, wood, laminate, carpet, concrete and vinyl so it adapts to most finished floors.
• Self-test GFCI: The tamper-resistant, self-test SmartlockPro GFCI automatically conducts internal tests to confirm ground fault protection continues to work.
• Feed-through capacity: Provides a 15 Amp, 125 Volt outlet with 20 Amp feed-through to support downstream circuits.

Who It's For

The Leviton Pop-Up Floor Box is ideal for professionals and experienced DIYers installing power in open-plan living rooms, conference rooms, or kitchens where a low-profile outlet is preferred. It will particularly appeal to those who value a neat installation and who need a tested GFCI solution that meets recognized safety standards.

It may be less suitable for buyers seeking very low-cost options or for installations where frequent heavy abrasion or impact is expected, since some customers have mixed views on long-term durability despite many praising its build quality.
