Middle Atlantic 6IN EVO Flush CVR Assy - 6CT2BZ

Middle Atlantic 6CT2BZ 6-Inch EVO Flush Cover Assembly

The Middle Atlantic 6CT2BZ is a flush cover assembly designed for the 6CT Evolution series poke-thru floor device. It delivers a clean, low-profile finish at floor level — the right pick for conference rooms, boardrooms, and open-plan commercial spaces where a recessed floor box needs to disappear when not in use. At 7.75 inches wide by 7.25 inches tall, the 6CT2BZ seats flush against the floor surface without raised edges that create trip hazards or snag rolling equipment.

Overview

Poke-thru floor devices handle AV, power, and data connectivity in commercial interiors where running surface conduit isn't an option. The cover assembly is the visible component — the part that determines how the installation reads in a finished space. The 6CT2BZ pairs with the 6CT Evolution platform from Middle Atlantic's AV and infrastructure line, providing the bronze-finish flush lid and standard receptacle interface that closes out a poke-thru rough-in. If your project spec calls for a flush-mount cover that blends with bronze or dark hardwood flooring, this is the cover SKU to order. If the spec calls for a different finish or a raised/angled profile, a different cover variant in the 6CT Evolution family applies.

Key Features

• Flush Cover Style: The flush profile means the assembly sits level with the finished floor surface. No raised lip means no tripping edge and no visible hardware ridge — relevant in high-foot-traffic areas like boardrooms and hotel pre-function spaces where aesthetics matter and ADA trip-hazard requirements apply.
• Bronze Finish: The bronze color integrates with medium-to-dark hardwood floors and stone tile common in commercial and hospitality interiors. Specifying the correct finish at the cover stage avoids a field change order after flooring is laid — confirm finish against the floor finish schedule before ordering.
• Standard Receptacle Type: The standard receptacle interface is compatible with the 6CT Evolution module set. This matters at the rough-in stage: the receptacle type determines which inserts — power, data, HDMI, USB — can be loaded into the poke-thru body. Standard type covers the broadest range of inserts available in the 6CT Evolution system.
• 7.75 × 7.25 Inch Footprint: At 7.75 inches wide and 7.25 inches tall (19.7 cm × 18.4 cm), the 6CT2BZ covers the standard 6CT Evolution rough opening. Verify the rough-in cutout dimensions match before the concrete or flooring pour — this is the most common field error on poke-thru installations.
• TAA Status: The 6CT2BZ is not TAA compliant. For federal government projects, GSA schedules, or any contract requiring Trade Agreements Act conformance, a TAA-compliant cover variant must be specified instead. This is a hard requirement on government-funded construction — check contract language before procurement.

Integration & Compatibility

The 6CT2BZ is purpose-built for the 6CT Evolution poke-thru floor device series. It is not a universal floor box cover — the mounting interface, cutout dimensions, and receptacle geometry are specific to the 6CT Evolution platform. When sourcing for a project, confirm the existing or planned poke-thru body is the 6CT Evolution series before ordering this cover. Mixing cover assemblies across different poke-thru generations or manufacturers is not supported and will result in a non-flush fit or incompatible receptacle interface.

For AV integrators specifying complete AV infrastructure solutions for commercial buildouts, the cover assembly is typically the last ordered item — ordered after the rough-in body, power module, and data inserts are confirmed. Build the cover finish and receptacle type into the specification package early to avoid substitutions in the field.

If you're pairing this with a broader network infrastructure deployment that includes floor-level data drops, coordinate the cover finish with your facilities or interior design team — finish mismatches on installed floor hardware are difficult to correct post-installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What poke-thru device series is the 6CT2BZ designed for?

A: The 6CT2BZ is designed for the Middle Atlantic 6CT Evolution poke-thru floor device series. It is not a universal floor box cover and should only be used with compatible 6CT Evolution bodies.

Q: Is the 6CT2BZ TAA compliant?

A: No. The 6CT2BZ is not TAA compliant. If your project requires Trade Agreements Act compliance — such as federal government or GSA-schedule work — you will need to specify a TAA-compliant cover variant.

Q: What are the dimensions of the 6CT2BZ cover assembly?

A: The 6CT2BZ measures 7.75 inches wide by 7.25 inches tall (19.7 cm × 18.4 cm). Confirm your rough-in cutout matches these dimensions before the floor or concrete installation is completed.

Q: What finish is the 6CT2BZ available in?

A: The 6CT2BZ is finished in bronze. This SKU is specific to the bronze finish. Other finish variants exist in the 6CT Evolution cover family — confirm finish against your floor specification before ordering.

Q: What does the flush cover style mean for installation?

A: Flush cover style means the assembly sits level with the finished floor surface with no raised lip or edge. This eliminates trip hazards and provides a clean aesthetic in commercial interiors. It also means the floor surface finish must be at the correct height relative to the rough-in — coordinate with your flooring contractor during rough-in planning.

The 6CT2BZ is a cover assembly, so the specification conversation is short — but getting it wrong is expensive. The detail that drives most field problems is the flush profile: at 7.75 × 7.25 inches, this cover requires the rough-in cutout and finish floor height to be coordinated before the pour or tile set. I've seen projects where the poke-thru body was set correctly but the finish floor came in 3/8-inch high — the flush lid then sits proud, which is both a trip hazard and an aesthetic failure. Specify the 6CT2BZ early and get it in the hands of the flooring sub before they finalize their substrate buildup.

Technical Highlights:

• Flush Profile (7.75 × 7.25 in): Matches the 6CT Evolution rough-in opening exactly — no field cutting or shimming required when rough-in dimensions are held to spec.
• Bronze Finish: A finish-specific SKU, not a field-painted cover. The factory bronze finish holds up to foot traffic better than field-applied coatings and matches commercial hardwood and stone floor palettes commonly specified in hospitality and corporate interiors.
• Standard Receptacle Interface: Supports the full insert ecosystem of the 6CT Evolution platform — power, data, HDMI, USB. Specifying the standard receptacle type at cover selection locks in maximum insert flexibility without a body swap later.

Deployment Considerations:

• The TAA non-compliance flag (verified for this SKU) is a hard stop on federal and GSA-funded projects. Identify contract TAA requirements before procurement — there is no field remedy once the cover is installed on a non-compliant project.
• This cover is finish- and series-specific. Ordering a 6CT2BZ as a replacement cover for a non-6CT-Evolution poke-thru body will result in a dimensional mismatch — confirm the installed body series before specifying the replacement cover SKU.

The 6CT2BZ is the right spec for commercial conference rooms, hotel pre-function floors, and open-plan office buildouts using the 6CT Evolution platform where a clean bronze flush finish is the design intent — not a generic accessory, but a finish-critical component that needs to be in the spec package from day one.
