ADP In Drawer Powerpoints

ADP in drawer power points for vanity units

An ADP in drawer power point is a power outlet built into a vanity drawer, giving you a hidden GPO for hairdryers, electric toothbrushes, shavers and other small appliances without a visible power point on the wall or benchtop. It is fitted directly into the vanity cabinetry, so cords and appliances can be stored and charged inside the drawer itself rather than cluttering the benchtop. ADP offers this as an accessory across a number of its vanity ranges, designed to integrate with the cabinetry rather than being added on afterwards.

How an in drawer power point works

The power point sits inside the drawer, wired back to the home's electrical circuit by a licensed electrician during installation. Some vanity drawers are designed with a small cut-out or channel so a cord can run to an appliance sitting inside the drawer while it charges, or so a hairdryer can be plugged in and used with the drawer partially open. Because the outlet is enclosed within the cabinetry, it also helps keep the vanity top clear of visible cords and power points.

Choosing the right vanity for an in drawer GPO

Not every vanity drawer is set up to house a power point, so check that the specific ADP vanity you are considering includes this as an available accessory or option before ordering. It is worth deciding early in a bathroom renovation whether you want an in drawer power point, since the drawer construction and electrical rough-in typically need to be planned for before the vanity is installed rather than retrofitted afterwards.

Installation and safety

Because this involves working with mains electrical wiring inside a bathroom, an in drawer power point must be installed by a licensed electrician in line with Australian wiring standards for wet areas. The electrician will typically need access during the vanity installation stage to wire the outlet into the drawer and connect it to the existing circuit, so it pays to coordinate the electrical and cabinetry trades on the same day where possible.

Who benefits from an in drawer power point

An ADP in drawer power point suits anyone who wants to keep small appliances like hairdryers and electric toothbrushes out of sight but still within easy reach, particularly in bathrooms where benchtop space is limited. It is a popular addition for main bathrooms and ensuites during a full vanity replacement, where the extra convenience is easy to plan in alongside the rest of the cabinetry. It also suits households with more than one person getting ready at once, since appliances can be stored charged and ready in the drawer rather than passed around or left plugged in on the benchtop.

Getting the details right

Before finalising your order, confirm the exact drawer position the power point sits in, since this affects how easily you can reach it while the vanity is in use. It is also worth asking whether the outlet includes USB charging in addition to a standard GPO, as some ADP accessory options extend beyond a simple power point. Coordinating this detail with your electrician and cabinet installer ahead of time avoids the outlet ending up in an awkward spot once the vanity is fully fitted.
