Is a brass outlet safe and code-compliant?

The outlet is UL certified for the US and Canada, which is the main safety mark inspectors look for. Local code still governs where GFCI protection is required, such as kitchens, baths and outdoors.

Will it fit my existing electrical box?

Yes, it mounts on any standard US electrical box. The plate is heavier than plastic, so check that the box is firmly anchored before tightening.

What is the difference between the Standard, USB-C and GFCI versions?

Standard is a plain receptacle. USB-C adds charging ports to the face. GFCI adds ground-fault protection, which is required near water and in some older wiring.

Does the polished brass stay shiny?

Polished brass develops a patina and darkens over time unless it is lacquered or polished. Fingerprints show readily on the polished face, so it needs occasional wiping.

What comes in the box?

The brass plate, the outlet type you chose, and the mounting accessories. Wiring and the electrical box are not included.

Can I install it myself?

If you are comfortable replacing a receptacle with the power off, the swap is quick. The GFCI version has more wires and should go to an electrician if you are unsure.

Our take on the Polished Brass Outlet

A solid brass wall outlet from Residence Supply, sold in Standard, USB-C and GFCI versions with a polished brass plate and UL certification for US and Canada. The heavy brass plate is the draw: it gives a warm metallic finish that painted plastic plates cannot match, and it fits standard US electrical boxes. It suits renovators, designers and owners of older homes who want visible hardware to match brass fixtures and switch plates. Against ordinary outlets it costs far more and offers no extra electrical function beyond the USB-C or GFCI options, and the polished finish shows fingerprints and tarnish over time.
