Can it be used if the outlet is in the horizontal position?

I think so.. it says so in the detail description. "Mounts horizontal or vertical for Patented quick fit feature." You just make sure the flap opens upward and you punch out the plastic from what would be the bottom if turned sideways.

There is a hole in the bottom for the cord, so if it is laying on its side it would not seal. The cover is BIG it sticks out about 4 inches too!

An electrical receptacle can be used in any position, and it would work with this receptacle, but it would not be advisable to use this receptacle in a horizontal position because of the possible leakage of rain under the cover and into the receptacle.

Are you asking if it can turn horizontal as well as vertical? If so, it can. This socket comes with a specialized softbox. Check out our instructional video of this product by visiting http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTN69-J83ac

I mounted mine on the wall, right under an outlet. I am sure that it would work well, providing you use a suitable cord, but the book said no, which is why I moved the outlet up a couple of feet.

There's a little plastic peg that you could break off if you had to make it work in a side-by-side, but it isn't designed to be used with anything but a vertical double outlet. You couldn't put it on a double with a switch or get any use out of the cool flip down holsters in an upside-down outlet (but they make one that's almost identical, just without the holsters, that would work in that instance). Side-by-side aren't very common where I'm from... So, yes and no. It would "work", with slight modification, but you'd lose one of the biggest advantages (at least in my house, which I share with a toddler and three boisterous cats), which is that this unit comes with a screw so you can secure it to the outlet using the screw hole from the cover plate. This is especially handy because it keeps the unit from coming off the wall every time you unplug something. I never have to worry about visitors using it and losing power to my network by accident anymore!

There are no provisions in the package for doing that first of all. Second, most outlets are closer to the floor than they are the ceiling which is where you would want to mount his ideally.

The bag can be horizontal, but must be lower than the receptacle. After several uses, I found the connection point began to leak when the bag was horizontal (I put it on the floor).

It is not quite big enough to cover a standard outlet box. I would put a solid plate over the outlet box and then install on either side, preferably on the stud the box is connected too.

We bought one from another online store and the outlet needs to be vertical. (one on top of the other). Every plug we have is vertical in the entire house. You "could' use it but it defeats the purpose of holding two phones off the counter to charge. It should be flipable to accommodate horizontal plugs. Seemly would work fine. Just check your outlets.

No Julie as long as your outlet is not located near a sink or any other water source.

No it cannot. you might try using a shorter extension but am not the expert. So, i recommend you speak to an electrician.

The top shelf has no back so outlets would work there; however, the bottom shelf back is enclosed and cannot accommodate outlets because the console fits flush to the wall.

if you needed to from me it will be about aweek. i am in hosipal 100 miles from home and will not be very flexable when i do get there. but off the top of my head i would say top to bottom there is room it is door to the outlet that the handle might give you problems you do have to remove plate to wire outlet it maybe possible to put outlet lower with stand offs

Yes you can install horizontally. You have to adjust wire . And make sure first you check on wall to cover the empty wall hole. Basically design for vertical wall hole.

Since it doesn't have a 3rd prong you can face it whatever direction you want. I have it on the front end end of my power strip with the USB port facing the same way as the power cord and it doesn't get in the way of any other outlets. If you turn it the other way or put it in the middle of the power strip it will take up two outlets worth of room. I hope this was helpful.

Physically, yes you can BUT building codes prevent you from running usual appliance power cords through walls , I guess they are not rated for in-wall use. I've had to have an electrician install a (sunken) outlet behind the TV. IMHO it's worth the expense for peace of mind.

It would likely be a tight fit. The opening for the plug is about 2.5 inches, and the outlet is centered in the opening. Depending on how flexible the cord is, you might get away with it.

I'm not sure how the right-angle plug affects the plug outlets. But you should be able to use both outlets that come with this kit.
