Important NEC Code Change for Pop-Up Receptacles in Maryland
Maryland has adopted NEC code changes that directly impact where and how pop-up devices can be installed.
What Changed?
The NEC has clarified requirements around pop-up receptacles, particularly in kitchen countertops and similar surfaces. The new code requires that all pop-up receptacles must be listed and tested specifically for countertop applications. This ensures that devices are designed to safely handle potential exposure to spills, moisture, and heavy usage common in these areas.
