Product Information

Full details

The Axiom Pull Up Tower Socket is designed for kitchen island units, offering a discreet and accessible power solution for appliances and device charging. Its key benefit is providing convenient, retractable power access without permanent fixture in your worktop. A potential caveat is the requirement for significant under-counter space for installation. This product features three 13A power sockets and two 1000mA USB ports, retracting neatly into the countertop when not in use.

FAQs

What is the maximum load for the 13A sockets?

Each 13A socket is designed to handle standard household appliance loads. Avoid overloading the sockets with multiple high-power devices simultaneously.

Can I use this in a bathroom or wet area?

This product is designed for kitchen countertops and similar dry environments. It is not rated for use in wet areas like bathrooms.

What is the height of the tower when fully extended?

The tower extends approximately 275mm above the worktop surface when fully pulled up.

What is the total length of the socket tower unit?

The overall length of the socket tower, including the part that retracts below the worktop, is 350mm.

How much space do I need under my countertop?

You will need a minimum of 360mm of clear vertical space below the countertop for the unit to retract fully.

Can I install this in a granite or quartz worktop?

Yes, provided you have the correct 80mm holesaw for the material and follow safe cutting practices for stone surfaces.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Please refer to the product packaging or the manufacturer's official documentation for specific warranty information, as it can vary.

Troubleshooting

Unit does not retract or extend smoothly.

Check for any obstructions around the tower or within the mounting hole. Ensure the unit is correctly seated and not binding against the countertop edge. Clean any debris from the mechanism.

No power to sockets or USB ports.

Verify that the unit's plug is securely connected to a working power outlet. Check your home's circuit breaker to ensure the circuit is active. Test the outlet with another device.

USB ports not charging devices.

Ensure the device is compatible with the 1000mA output. Try plugging the USB cable directly into the port, bypassing any adapters. Test the USB port with a different device if possible.

Water ingress near the unit.

Immediately retract the unit and unplug it. Wipe the exterior dry with a soft cloth. Do not use the unit again until fully dry and confirm no internal damage has occurred. Ensure proper sealing during installation to prevent leaks.
