I agree Greg. Architectural desires cannot supersede minimum code requirements.

There are a few companies manufacturing "Pop-up" receptacle outlets for coutertop applications, however I have not seen any listed for use as a substitute for permanent wiring. The ones I have seen are cord-and-plug connected below the counter-top and are listed as 'relocatable power taps'. In this situation, I think the AHJ would make an allowance to use pop-ups. I agree completely that this should be accomodated when the island is designed! It's easy to add blanks or wiring-friendly cabinets when you're building it; rather difficult to come back later and retrofit.

We've already debated those things: https://www.electrical-contractor.n...r+&topic=0&Search=true#Post70925On second thought, the last one linked is relatively local, just up the Northeast Extension. Better not let my mother see that, I don't feel like drilling stainless steel! Ian A.

This is what I like about message boards especially this one. At first glance the pic of the pop up recept, I thought that was slick. I ususally do not respond that way. Granted I would have gone and done my homework first on it but the responses snapped me back to reality on it. It is a great concept on paper though.

I agree Greg. Architectural desires cannot supersede minimum code requirements. Has anyone mentioned this to the designers?
