I like my plugmold pointing straight down--it means that the cord falls straight down instead of jutting out at an angle and poking into the working space. The conduit comes out of the plaster wall, and goes into the box that is used at the beginning of a Plugmold run. There's a collar that holes the conduit in place. Go ask over at Kitchens, bcs lots of people have pics of their Plugmold installations. Were I to do it over again, actually, I would put the outlets way down by the countertop, inside a 2" or 3" backsplash made of the countertop material. Then, anything left plugged in for very long (toaster, etc.) would NOT have cords traveling up the full height of the backsplash. One thing I do like about Plugmold is that there's an outlet every 6 inches--that's sort of nice, to be able to plug in almost anywhere.

Thanks for the heads up - I checked an mine are not included - I am not sure if they were made by LeGrand but definitely not a match.

Great stuff. ---------------------------------------------------------- RE: plugmold in a kitchen Posted by: maxthedog on Wed, Mar 22, 06 at 14:20 thank you, and yes, I have used this product and yes, I do have experience with Plugmold. ---------------------------------------------------------- My apologies to maxthedog.

See? You needed to redo your kitchen so your house wouldn't burn down, or you wouldn't fry yourself using a small appliance! A blessing in a major disguise.... Wow. Glad you have someone competent on the job now to fix you up right.
