2' All White Plugmold

[ashadowens]

I am searching for a plugmold that is less than 2'-9" for an undercabinet installation. It needs to be all white and less than 3/4" deep.

I have tried wiremold, but the shortest one they make is 3'-0".

Does anyone know another company that might have one? I'll call anyone at this point.

Cut it to the length you need.

And that will work? It will pass inspection? Everyone that has told me to cut it follows with "but I didn't tell you to do that".

I see you said plugmold, and some how I read wiremold.
Forget the other answer.

Why can't you cut the plugmold? We cut plugmold, lighting track and anything else that's too long (and I gotta a blade for). Heck I even had a guy cut 8" off a 4' channel light to make it fit in a closet; had a heck of a time with the lamps though.

You can cut plugmold. Just cap the wires where you cut it and make sure you put the end cap back on.

You cut plugmold with the same cutter you use for Wiremold 2000 raceway.

A band saw is the best way I know to cut wire/plugmold. Actually, once you use a band saw, you may never use anything else to cut conduit and other metal.

It is actually good to see an Architect asking some electrical questions here...it would be even better if more did, especially about kitchen receptacle placements.


There are many times when field modifications of equipment are permitted, and of course times when it is not permitted but performed.
Plugmold is one if the instances when field modifications that meet the NEC and manufacturers instructions is permitted.
