ABSTRACT:
A pop-up electrical outlet assembly has a flush surface mounted bezel or flange with an opening defined in it. To one side of the bezel opening is a hinged cover. Located beneath the cover is an electrical box. The electrical box is mounted to the same side of the bezel opening with a supplemental hinge. The hinge allows the electrical box to pop-up when the cover is lifted from its closed position. The receptacle is held in position with a spring catch. The electrical box is effectively isolated from any water which may be splashed up against the bezel both during use of the receptacle and when it is not in use.
