Fitting the Milan pop-up socket couldn’t be easier. With so many different styles and configuration options, the Milan pop-up socket has fast become the obvious choice for anyone who needs to add more power options into a kitchen or office workspace.

Fitting the Milan pop-up socket

Before you start

Before you get started, check you have sufficient space beneath the desk for the shoulder washer and also to run the mains lead.

Ensure there is also space for the unit to fully retract beneath the desk without interfering with desk use.

Also, ensure you can access the shoulder washer to tighten or clamp the unit.

Do not remove the protective file from the chrome top until you are certain you’re keeping the pop-up socket. When you do, ensure you remove it by hand so as not to scratch or damage the chrome.

How to fit the Milan pop-up socket

1. Mark the right position on the desktop for the centre of the socket. Ensure it’s far enough away for legs when a desk worker is seated but near enough that the sockets can be easily accessed. Using a hole saw, drill a hole in the desktop or worktop in the right position that is 124mm if you’re using the flush fit adapter or 101mm if you’re not using the flush fit adapter. This hole saw and arbor set is perfect for installing the Milan pop-up socket.If you don’t want to buy a hole saw and arbor set, we hire these out at a competitive rate.

2. If you’re cutting into laminate wood we would recommend covering the desk laminate with masking tape to protect the surface from splintering before you drill your hole.
3. Unscrew the shoulder washer from the unit by turning it clockwise.
   
4. Position the flush fit adapter in the hole.
   
5. Then insert the base of the unit, power cord first, into the hole.
   
6. Screw the shoulder washer onto the underside of the unit and tighten it to keep the unit in place.
   
7. Screws are provided to mount the washer into the correct position to stop movement, however, whether you do this will depend on the type of worktop you’re setting the device into.
   
8. Connect the mains plug and switch on.
   
9. Remove the protective film from the chrome top carefully by hand to avoid scratching or damaging the unit.
