Its a decora style plate There are two separate pieces, the middle peice and the outside trim. Not sure what you are trying to do with it, it is made for low voltage purposes.

No, it is a conventional outlet that is recessed to allow for more convenient routing of cables and power cord for wall mounted TV sets.I have a whole house surge protector, so this was not a concern for me regarding this particular item. I hope this helps.Steve Gray

It's not flat, but sticks out (needs to be incorporated into a tiled wall). Good question--one I wish I would have known.

This is just a in-floor outlet box, just like you would get in a wall. Whatever you put in it is the type of box it will be. The picture shows a normal 110 outlet.

Yes it will work. The plate and outlet are set in and the frame is oversized to allow for that.

It is on the back in the middle. You will lose the outlets but you gain the flatness and 4. I would purchase it again when appropriate.

The base plate would not be enough to cover an outlet but a speaker attached, you could probably hide one.

The plus is not flat, but it is not a standard plug either. It is shaped like a small egg and the cord comes out the side of the plug it does work nicely behind a sofa or desk. Here is another image so that you can see what it looks like:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812120807

The mounting plate has a flat on one portion of the round plate which allows proper fit to the main housing. I found that if I mounted it properly the wire with the plug was NOT long enough to reach the outlet. I concluded that the motor was mounted to the mounting plate turned around 180º. I left it that way but had to extend the wire by splicing a short (appx 6") extension on to the wire from the motor. Other than that all works OK and it sure beats replacing the whole thing.

Don't know the name of it but it is for a 30amp 220 outlet. It has the round ground, one prong is vertical and the other is horizontal.

Yes; you have to have the kind of outlet with a center screw for mounting the plate.

It does lay flat against the electrical outlet, I have a shelf unit in front of it and there is no conflict, although for safety reasons I would not push furniture too closely up against it.

It is not flat. It is a heavy duty plug. I guess you need at least 2 inch clearance.

This has an angled plug but I wouldn't call it flat. The plug sticks put from the wall about 3/4 of an inch. It should work easily behind a couch.

If the duplex-receptacle outlet in the wall is installed with the round prong grounding hole below the "hot" and neutral slots then the cord will go directly down towards the floor. If not it will go upward. An electrician can reposition the wall outlet if necessary. The plug is not rotatable nor does the cord project outward horizontally from the wall. Good luck!

flat as in paralell tot he wall?... no it has a standard outlet 3 prong plug. I was a bit skeptical myself. The lenght of the cord and the spacing helps.

JN, You can change the angle to flat. Where the stand connects to the plate on top it has an adjustable type of connection that locks in place. I don't really know how to describe it. It works good though.
