| Hi yall -- does anyone make plugmold with 4" between outlets?
TIA |

| Why so close? The shortest I recall was about 6 inches, except on small 'power strip' type items (cord and plug connected). |
|
| corner cabinet with 22.5" available underneath. At 6" apart that leaves only 3 plugs: not worth it! But if they were closer together... |
|
| Install 2 parallel strips? |
|
| "Install 2 parallel strips?" Yeah, stagger the outlets and you'll get one every 3"! If you line up the strip so that you have a plug closer to the end, you might be able to fit 4 plugs in an 18" span. |

| "corner cabinet with 22.5" available underneath. At 6" apart that leaves only 3 plugs: not worth it!" How many things do you plan on using at the same time? The NEC requirement is every 48 inches (no place more than 24 inches). |

| Hi yall -- It's not a question of having multiple appliance going at once, but not having to unplug things. Staggering sounds like a great idea but I don't want the thickness (width). In that location I've decided to skip the plugmold; just couldn't get it to work. There are wall sockets instead. Pity. I still think there would be a market for undercabinet not-ugly, not-heavy strip mold, but oh well. Thanks for the ideas, all. |

| Well, they might not stay plugged in always, but I'd rather not be switching things back and forth, here and there. It's like having a spot for everything in drawers. Underneath the counter it's not as if they're in the way at all ... Anyway, it's not happening for a variety of reasons. Personally, I think they're far less onerous than wall outlets, especially disrupting a backsplash, but I understand my taste is not as others'. I've been thinking about it and figure maybe it's because I spent many formative years playing at a lab bench! I think I just think strips of outlets are the way they're supposed to be. Or something. Anyway, thanks all for the suggestions and thoughts and help. |
