While it is technically possible to hardwire a corded device like our in-drawer outlets, doing so alters the device, which will invalidate the device's ETL Listing. As an ETL Listed product, the manufacturer (in this case, Docking Drawer) assumes responsibility for the product’s intended use. Hardwiring one of our ETL Listed outlets takes the responsibility off the manufacturer and transfers all liability to the person who alters the device. For this reason, we do not recommend hardwiring our Blade Series outlets, or any other ETL Listed product.
