Pop-Up Floor Box with USB and Duplex Outlet - Low Profile Brass

In this review the Pop-Up Floor Box with Dual Type A USB Charger and 15 Amp outlet is judged on practicality for modern homes and job sites. It is aimed at homeowners, electricians, and contractors who need a low profile, recessed power solution that hides when not in use. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a pre-wired terminal block for fast installation and a recessed metal cover that reduces above-floor height to 1/4 in, delivering a clean look and real time savings on installation and finishing work.

Key Features

• Pre-wired terminal block: The terminal block comes pre-wired so electricians can insert wires and tighten screws quickly, saving installation time on each box.
• Low profile metal cover: The cover recesses into the floor with a press button, keeping the unit flush and unobtrusive when not in use for a neater floor plane.
• IP44 protection: The unit meets or exceeds UL 514A and offers IP44 protection from water spray when closed, giving added peace of mind in areas prone to splashes.
• Versatile flooring compatibility: Designed for tile, stone, wood, laminate, carpet, concrete and vinyl, it adapts to common flooring types without special adapters.
• Integrated USB charging: A 2.0 Type A USB charger (5VDC, 3.6A combined) frees the duplex outlet for other powered devices while providing fast device charging.

Who It's For

This floor box is a good fit for homeowners updating living rooms or kitchens who want outlets without wall clutter, and for contractors fitting finished floors where a flush, tamper-resistant outlet is preferred. The pre-wired terminal block and compact cover help speed routine installations, making it practical for professionals doing multiple installs.

It is less suited to situations requiring full waterproofing or heavy outdoor exposure despite IP44 protection, or where multi-device high-power charging beyond the single USB and duplex outlet is needed; in those cases a dedicated surface-mounted unit or higher-capacity power solution should be considered.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Pre-wired terminal block makes wiring faster and reduces bench time during installation.
• Low profile brass cover recesses into the floor for a discreet appearance when not in use.
• Integrated Type A USB charger keeps outlets free and supplies device charging at 5VDC up to 3.6A combined.
• Meets UL 514A scrub water test and carries IP44 protection when closed for added safety against splashes.

Cons

• IP44 protection is limited to splash resistance when closed and is not suitable for wet outdoor exposures.
• Only a single Type A USB charger is included, so high-density USB charging needs may require additional solutions.

Our Verdict
