[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The placement or installation of electrical outlets, sometimes called plugs or light contacts in Mexico, is done at different heights depending on the environment: bathroom, kitchen, living room, etc.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”4685″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Kitchen<\/h3>\n

In the kitchen, outlets are usually installed either for the odor extractor, or to connect other appliances such as a microwave oven or electric stove. In the case of the odor extractor, if it is not connected directly to the current, and if it has a cable to connect\/disconnect, the recommended height is one meter eighty centimeters (1.80 m)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

For outlets that are going to be used for equipment such as electric stoves, the recommended height is one meter twenty centimeters (1.20 m)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It is important to take into account that electrical outlets should not be installed above the kitchen sink or the place reserved for electric or gas plates.<\/p>\n

Bath<\/h3>\n

In the bathroom, the outlets are installed at a height between ninety centimeters (0.90 m)<\/strong> and one meter and thirty centimeters (1.30 m)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In this environment it is crucial to take into account certain safety aspects, such as not installing electrical outlets inside or too close to the shower or bathtub, there is a minimum distance of 60 centimeters (0.60 m)<\/strong> that must be respected to avoid accidents.<\/p>\n

Other environments<\/h3>\n

In other places of a house, such as bedrooms or living-dining room, it is recommended to install outlets fifty centimeters (50 cm)<\/strong> of the finished floor, although it can also be done at a higher height, up to 1,30 m<\/strong>, depending on the functionality that is sought: for example so that it is not behind a very heavy piece of furniture such as a bed or so that it is accessible for children and people in wheelchairs.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
