Under cabinet outlets

[Tom D']

I have a customer who wants under cabinet outlets and switches. Do you know of any low profile, GFCI outlet strips that can be hard wired or do I need to run them on a GFCI breaker? Thanks

It's probably going to be easiest on a breaker. Unless you install a gfci on a side wall before you get to the cabinet...
. I'm thinking of a wire mold type of box under the cabinet.

I always put plugmold on a gfci breaker.
I'll run the home run to a j-box in a lower cabinet, then a separate cable for each stub-out

Depending on what NEC you are on, your circuits must be AFCI protected, so you might as well do DF (Dual Function) GFCI/AFCI breakers and use low profile plug mold.

Legrand/pass&seymour has a very nice under cabinet receptacle strip setup.

Thanks for the help.

And make sure the receps are tamper type.

For sure. I found an awesome deal on eBay a year-and-a-half ago. Four 5-ft sticks for under $100
Turned out to be non TR

It has been so long since I'd bought any that wasn't TR, I didn't even think to check

Now it's in my garage, waiting for me to have a job in one particular municipality in our area that has a written amendment to not require TR receptacles.
