Mounting a concealed power socket under a countertop can create a sleek, clutter-free environment while still delivering reliable power where you need it. The key is to plan carefully and work with precision so the outlet integrates invisibly. First, choose a location near the edge of the countertop where it won’t disrupt the flow of kitchen or bathroom routines. Confirm there’s clear access from the cabinet interior, ideally near a cabinet wall or empty space behind the backsplash.

Shut down the relevant breaker before starting before you begin any electrical work. Use a voltage tester to confirm there is no live current to ensure your safety. Mark the footprint of the outlet enclosure with a pencil. A slim recessed electrical box works best here. Utilize a fine-tooth jigsaw or oscillating multi-tool to carefully cut the opening from the underside of the countertop, cutting precisely to the box’s outer edges.

Tap into an existing power source nearby. Should you be connecting to a nearby receptacle, verify the breaker isn’t already overloaded. Fasten the wire with junction box clamps and route it neatly through the cabinet to prevent strain on the terminals. After routing the cable, fasten the enclosure using the integrated anchors. Be sure the box is flush with the bottom surface of the countertop so it doesn’t interfere with cabinet doors or پریز توکار کابینت storage.

Connect the wires to the outlet following standard color coding: live to the brass terminal, common to the silver terminal, and ground to green. Verify no bare wire is exposed or loose. Gently push the outlet into the box and attach the mounting cover. If your countertop material is stone or solid surface, you may need to drill a small access hole from above to route the cord out. Use a hole saw the size of your cord and apply waterproof caulk around the opening to avoid water intrusion.

Use a receptacle tester to verify wiring to ensure it’s safe and active. Restore power and plug in a device to confirm full functionality. After successful testing, clear away any construction residue and smooth a fine line of silicone to conceal the opening if visible from above. It will vanish from view and blend with the surface. When done correctly, the outlet will be undetectable but instantly accessible.
