Add An Additional Layer of Safety
All Docking Drawer Blade Series outlets include an interlocking thermostat that de-energizes the outlet when the surrounding temperature exceeds 120°F/50°C. The 15 amp Safety Interlock Outlet adds a second layer of safety and de-energizes the outlet when the drawer starts to close.
Perfect for use in bathroom vanity drawers, appliance garages, toaster drawers and other in-drawer applications that do not require power when the drawer is closed.
ETL Listed for use in the US and Canada.
