Yes, per the National Electric Code, outlets can be installed “face up” indoors in dry & damp locations, except on a kitchen or bathroom work surface (they can be mounted vertically in the riser or on the side of the cabinet). The Sillites® SCR can also be wired to a GFI outlet or breaker, just like a standard receptacle, to become a GFI protected outlet.
