Receptacle without visible cover plate

[celtic]

I have never met a fluorescent tube I couldn't conquer.

Do you also trample tulip bulbs?

Like these?

I see that product as having a fixed pole (that the pigtail connects to) for the grounding connection.

I was just digging for reasons to gig the use of the product. I strongly feel that the requirement of a special tool that is only available from one company for removal negates accessibility.

How many of you have such a tool? If you were called to do a service call and encountered these receptacles, and needed to get behind one, would YOU consider the outlet to be accessible? Not me, that's for sure.

Oh, and if any of you did encounter what looks like one of these receptacles how could you be sure that the special tool you have managed to get somehow is the tool for the receptacle you are about to stick this machined piece of metal in?

Form follows function.

As a designer I'm thinking, "Very Cool". I could easily sell that to
a high end Architectural design group. As an experienced electrician
I'm thinking, "For the love of GOD,PLEASE DON'T SPEC THAT ON MY JOB!"
:grin:

Neither have I.

I mean without breaking it.

Oh. Never mind.

Bocci recommends that these be mudded AND painted over?

For v/d/v/, it looks like one is limited to two jacks per box, and relinquished to using proprietary inserts as well. Joy. :roll:

They also recommend it be used in millwork. I guess if it was in some fancy wood work it would look good. As long as the putty holding the plate in doesn't crack.

Never mind I just realized it would look like crap!!

Oh. Never mind.

I believe they call what I just did an LOL.
