The stylish, easy to fit pop-up socket that takes power where it’s needed

The Milan pop-up socket is an easy to fit socket extension that can help you deliver power to exactly where it’s needed. It’s easy to fit retrospectively and makes hazardous trailing cables and extension sockets a thing of the past. With the Milan pop-up socket, all of the cabling sits out of the way beneath the worktop or kitchen counter. From above the counter, a chrome cap is all that can be seen when not in use and, when required, the socket can be ‘popped up’ by simply pushing a discrete button in the centre of the cap.

The Milan pop-up socket range has multiple socket combination options that include 3-pin sockets, USB sockets and data sockets, all conveniently placed for power access for everything you might need in the kitchen. The Milan pop-up socket powers multiple sockets from one plug that fits into a standard UK 3-Pin plug, so you no longer have to choose between charging your phone and blending your soup.

Why you should choose the Milan pop-up socket

  • Easy to install.
  • Comes with a 12-month guarantee.
  • Delivers power to where it’s needed.
  • Multiple combinations for the power sources you need.
  • Electronics and body sit beneath the worktop when not needed.
  • Sits beneath a flush cap for easy cleaning.
  • Works with existing 3 amp 3-pin plugs so no electrical work required.
  • Available with an LED rim for a more modern and stylish finish.

Milan pop-up socket configurations

The Milan pop-up socket is available in a wide variety of socket combinations for power and data making them perfect for office desks as well as kitchen worktops. Combinations include:

Each configuration is available in either bright chrome or matt chrome and some come with a black central button making it even easier to pop up the socket when it’s needed.
