A type of electrical receptacle designed to be installed within a wall, concealing the plug and cord closer to the surface, commonly available at major home improvement retailers. It reduces the protrusion of plugs from the wall, offering a cleaner and more streamlined appearance. For instance, a flat-screen television mounted flush against the wall often utilizes this type of receptacle to minimize the gap between the TV and the wall.
Its value lies in its space-saving design and enhanced aesthetic appeal. This flush-mounted design helps prevent accidental disconnections and reduces the risk of damage to plugs and cords. Historically, standard projecting outlets were commonplace, but evolving interior design trends and demand for space optimization have driven the increasing popularity of this design.
