I personally would have lowered all of my PGOs so that they are only going to have about a 10mm gap between the base of the GPO and the top of my bench. I agree with cyclone about having your kitchen on its own electrical circuit, it will stop your power going out if your trying to cook, have the dishwasher going and trying to do the laundry all at once! Also I would have as many GPO's has I could get to go in the kitchen I hate having to unplug one of the appliances that stays out to plug in something else so I can cook. My Owner still Building thread viewtopic.php?t=9026 Re: Power points in the kitchen 11Apr 22, 2009 7:00 pm I think 10 mm is a bit tight if you want to plug in a double adaprter or use it to plug in a phone recharger etc. it makes it a bit tight because they have that longer plug. Re: Power points in the kitchen 12Apr 23, 2009 8:17 am I'd recommend going some Clipsal saturns also. We are using them on the glass splashback. Whilst they are a little more exy, the modern looks helps present the powerpoint a little better rather than a default white etc. costing approx $66 per double GPO to upgrade.

Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ are those white oz or the green tinge ? I got a few of these also and the light switches with the push buttons in the entry sooo nice, and they light up. In my kitchen I put my power points on the walls at each end so I didn't have to put them on my glass, but kyton's point was a good one, but I have windows at each end anyway for the frypan smells to escape Re: Power points in the kitchen 14Apr 23, 2009 3:06 pm we will probably go the Pure White although those above are meant to be the Ocean Mist although they do look fairly white. most ppl swap the stove switch over also if they are doing the GPO's.

We don't have the pure white in NSW ozzroo, I have been searching, but my sparky said the front just clips on so if white become available here I can change if I like. Re: Power points in the kitchen 16May 04, 2009 10:24 pm We are also considering either the Saturn OR Slimline our builder would only include the standard I think it's series 2000, we have to speak to the Electrician about the cost of the upgrade, has anyone here changed from "standard" to "slimline" and knows what extra it cost? http://www.clipsal.com/homeowner/produc ... 000_series Re: Power points in the kitchen 18May 08, 2009 9:02 pm and they charge $66 to upgrade to the Saturn's but they look cool... so why not. We ended up going Ocean Mist.

We ended up going Ocean Mist. Just need to wait now I think that from memory that is more then the actual switches cost isn't it? I have a list somewhere of the wholesale prices from my friend. We will be using them strategically around the home - not in every room just where they will be a little more exposed. Some things are worth waiting for. Re: Power points in the kitchen 20May 08, 2009 10:55 pm I would have the power points 100 mm (to centre of GPO) above the bench and close to the two ends (say ~100 to 200 mm from the end).
