Simplify installation without compromise on design. Unifit hardwired soon ships with an optional self-contained cap, optimized for Romex cable, eliminating the need for a back box. Install and remove entirely from the front - no hidden steps, no extra tools. The cap also allows daisy chaining, connecting multiple outlets in sequence for greater flexibility and efficiency.
What is the difference between the new unifit hardwired with self-contained cap and its predecessor?
The new Unifit Hardwired features an optional self-contained cap, specifically designed for Romex cable, eliminating the need for a back box. It installs and removes entirely from the front – no hidden steps, no extra tools required. The cap also enables daisy chaining, allowing multiple outlets to be connected in sequence for added flexibility and efficiency.
The latest version also introduces refined tamper resistance for a noticeably smoother plug-in experience, while maintaining the same high level of safety. Additionally, enhanced wire clamping ensures stronger, more reliable connections, keeping wires firmly in place for the long haul.
Prefer to install without the cap? A back box is required, and installation remains unchanged – though daisy chaining will not be possible within the box.
Does the self-contained outlet pass code?
Yes, all our outlets, including the new self-contained versions are designed to align with the NEC. Our unifit outlets are ETL listed (by Intertek) for both the United States and Canada. Control Number: 5029983. You can find it in the Intertek Directory of Listed Products using ‘Prado America’ in the search field. ETL is Intertek certified UL-compliant, meaning it meets the same rigorous safety standards as UL certification and is recognized in both the United States and Canada.
Is unifit hardwired approved for NYC?
Yes it is. In NYC, metallic boxes are mandatory. This means the self-contained cap must be removed, and the outlet must be installed as a hardwired unit using a metallic box and metallic conduit. Our hardwired version is approved by the NYC DOB — see approval document.
Do you have a GFI/GFCI outlet?
While we do not offer direct GFCI outlets, unifit outlets can be wired to a GFCI outlet or GFCI breaker in the panel, just like a standard receptacle, to become a GFCI protected outlet.
Are the prado outlets UL or ETL listed?
Our unifit outlet is ETL listed (by Intertek) for both the United States and Canada. Control Number: 5029983. You can find it in the Intertek Directory of Listed Products using ‘Prado America’ in the search field.
What are the branch circuit requirements?
Our corded outlets come with a 5 ft cable and a NEMA 5-15 plug and can be plugged into any other outlet. For our hardwired outlets, to comply with the NEC, each outlet must have its own branch circuit, with wiring originating outside the device box without splicing or continuation to another device within the box. One junction box can have two outlets, but each outlet needs their own wiring, originating outside the box.
Drill a 1-3/8” hole in the plate material of choice. Flush mount countersink is optional.
Connect the outlet of choice to the appropriate wiring.
Fix the self-contained cap onto the outlet when installing without a back box.
Screw to fixate the outlet in plate thicknesses from 1/4” up to 1-3/8”.
Add the cover plate of choice. Small trim ring is optional.
