Comprehensive 5-Step Checklist
- Confirm that you have adequate space below your countertop for installation. The unit requires a clearance of 17" beneath a 3 cm countertop, along with an additional width of 6 5/16" for the flange. Double-checking these measurements will help ensure a seamless installation process without any spatial constraints.
- Confirm Electrical Compatibility: Check with your electrician to verify whether they can install a GFCI outlet or integrate an outlet into a GFCI circuit as needed for the Point Pod Connect. This step is essential for electrical safety and compliance with building codes. Ensuring that the electrical setup aligns with the requirements of the unit will prevent any issues during installation and operation.
- Plan for Power Cord Accessibility: After installing the pop-up outlet, it's essential to have easy access to plug in the 6-foot power cord. Consider the placement of the unit and ensure that there is convenient access to an electrical outlet. This accessibility will facilitate the use of the Point Pod Connect and prevent any inconvenience or obstruction after installation.
- Countertop Customization Needs: It's crucial to determine whether your chosen stone fabricator has the capability to perform specialized cuts in the countertop to accommodate the Point Pod Connect. While it's preferable to have these cuts made before installation to streamline the process, a skilled installer equipped with the appropriate tools can still execute post-installation cuts if required. This flexibility ensures that any countertop modifications can be efficiently addressed, maintaining the aesthetic and functionality of your space. For detailed instructions on countertop customization, please refer to the installation PDF provided for comprehensive guidance throughout the process.
- Check Compliance with Local Codes (for Canadian Customers): For customers located in Canada, it's important to be aware that local electrical codes may require a 20A outlet, whereas the Point Pod Connect model provides a 15A outlet. Verify whether your local code mandates a specific outlet requirement and plan accordingly to ensure compliance. Addressing this aspect beforehand will prevent any issues with regulatory compliance and ensure a smooth installation process.

Point Pod delivers!
Love it, works well
I was looking for a pop-up device that was unobtrusive and blended in well with the island. This one fit the bill and it works great. It’s super convenient while preparing on the island for my blender and mixer. It wasn’t too difficult to install, just make sure you have a good amount of room underneath. Overall, I can highly recommend.
Pretty, but not worth the hassle
The pop up is aesthetically pleasing. It is barely noticeable across the room because it is so discreet. However, the countertop company mentioned it was way more work than anticipated installing, I did not realize the shaft was so long which required all my drawers to have to be cut to accommodate and then it did not pass our electrical inspection. We are required to have 20 amps and it has to be hard wired. Even after electrician hard wired the items, because of the amps we had to replace entirely with Hubble pop ups. The idea of this product is nice, but they were a huge disappointing hassle. I wish I had gone with the Hubble in the first place. Now I have to deal with cut drawers, time and money loss.
Great product
Very solid. Excited to use
