Nope. Perfectly legal
How do you connect it? Flexible cord? I have a customer that wants the same thing but, as far as I know, no one makes a box/recept specifically for that purpose.Don't see how that would be wrong. In fact if I could get off my lazy bum on the weekends my wife would love if I installed that in her vanity drawer.
Never done one myself personally. I always envisioned a cut in box with a single gang weatherproof cover with an so cord connector out the center of it. (Assuming it would be under the sink.) Then SO cord to a box in or mounted to drawer. Might be overkill but that's what's pictured in my mind.wendon said:How do you connect it? Flexible cord?

The drawers I put them were notched quite a bit.How do you connect it? Flexible cord? I have a customer that wants the same thing but, as far as I know, no one makes a box/recept specifically for that purpose.
So they can leave the hair dryer plugged in all the time, but still out-of-sight when not in use.Why does the receptacle need to be IN the drawer.....
People are just too darned spoiled or lazy. I was always taught and still practice today, if it is not in use, unplug it. I can envision cords being pinched in drawer sliders and bad things happening.480sparky said:So they can leave the hair dryer plugged in all the time, but still out-of-sight when not in use.
If it was in Canada:You guys that do these installs ever do anything to kill the receptacle when the drawer is closed?
I wonder about someone leaving a plugged-in curling iron inside the drawer or something.
