Review on 🏠 Enhance Home Efficiency with Hubbell Raco 6239 Recessed Duplex Adjustable Outlet Solution by Antonio Taveras

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Almost milspec in terms of functionality and durability.

I now have floor sockets from other manufacturers at home, but experience has shown that they are imperfect for two reasons: the connected element protrudes above the floor and can bang and break when furniture is moved (it happened .) Also: When we have guests, we sometimes rearrange furniture and leave sockets in the floor uncovered. Although fairly well made from machined brass, the rosettes should be covered with the included silver dollar sized threaded inserts when not in use. These inserts are really tedious to install/remove and we keep losing them. Dirt and crumbs also seem to be attracted to the fork. Now comes the Hubbell floor socket. First, it is a duplex that accommodates 2 plugs. The socket itself is then deeply recessed and protects the plug below floor level. The rugged steel electrical box adjusts for floor height or elevation changes with 3/4" screws for on-the-go repairs. Attached rubber inserts cover unused cable paths to prevent Cheetos from falling. And finally, the lid is attached with a hinge and spring-loaded latch, which means the lid will never get lost and it closes securely to protect the plug, only the cable coming out of the hole provided. This floor socket is not the junk plastic that seems to be plentiful these days, it is built for commercial use and will last for decades. I wouldn't say anything about the chair leg sitting directly on top of the Hubbell. Looks great too.
