The Recessed Duplex Receptacle that was installed in this video can be found here - amzn.to/46DU5qZ

EXACTLY what I needed! Thanks for getting straight to the point too! Was awesome!

Good video. Thanks. Rule of thumb I go by is installing ground, neutral, hot, and wrap the outlet connections with electrical tape. Also they have surge protectors with flat backing that would solve this issue and make the bed flush with the wall.

How have I not heard of this? Definitely picking one up since I have the same situation

Use a 90 degree angle / flat conector instead. They are even 180 degree rotating plugs that can be used to connect your multiplug without needing to replace the outlet. Still the recessed receptacle bent a lot the cable which is not desired.

Also a good solution after installing thicker drywall.

can i do this in a house built in the 50s? my dad says we’d have to bust out the walls bc our house wasn’t made like the newer ones but i can’t see why it would be different.

chances are the old boxes wont be deep enough for the modern recepticle.

Thank you !

Or you can use a $7 flat plug power strip.

Thank you - and it sits even flatter

[@hellhound-si5oz]

Make sure you turn the outlet upside down so the ground pins up top

What do you mean? I'm about to change an outlet to a recessed outlet and want to do it right.

​@@michellemills2977it doesn't really matter in a recessed box.
