Middle Atlantic 8CT2GY 8-Circuit EVO Flush Poke-Thru Cover
Overview
The Middle Atlantic 8CT2GY is a flush-mount replacement or companion cover designed for the 8-circuit EVO recessed poke-thru floor box series. At 11.5" x 11.5" x 2" (292.1 x 292.1 x 50.8 mm), the 8CT2GY drops into the floor opening and sits level with the finished surface — the flush profile eliminates the trip hazard and aesthetic disruption that raised covers create in conference rooms, boardrooms, and open-plan collaboration spaces. The gray finish integrates cleanly with commercial carpet tile and hard-floor environments without requiring custom paint or trim work.
This cover is specified for the standard receptacle configuration of the 8-circuit EVO poke-thru line. If your installation uses a different receptacle layout or a non-EVO poke-thru body, verify compatibility against the EVO series before ordering. TAA compliance is not applicable to this SKU — buyers working on federal contracts or TAA-restricted procurement programs should confirm project requirements before specifying.
Key Features
- Flush cover style: sits level with the finished floor surface, eliminating raised-lid trip hazards in high-traffic commercial spaces where ADA and safety compliance matter.
- 11.5" x 11.5" footprint: sized for the 8-circuit EVO recessed body — confirm the rough-in cutout matches this footprint before ordering a replacement cover for an existing installation.
- 2" assembly depth: the 50.8 mm profile fits within standard commercial floor plenum clearances without requiring additional sub-floor depth modifications.
- Standard receptacle type: pairs with the standard outlet configuration in the EVO 8-circuit body — not interchangeable with specialty AV or data-only configurations.
- Gray finish: a neutral commercial color that works with most carpet tile and polished concrete installations without custom finishing.
Integration & Compatibility
The 8CT2GY cover is engineered for the Middle Atlantic EVO poke-thru product family. Poke-thru devices are a staple in commercial power distribution and AV infrastructure — matching the cover to the correct body series is essential. Consult the floor box and poke-thru category to confirm body compatibility before purchasing. For complete AV rack and power infrastructure planning, a power planning guide can help size circuits and outlet configurations per zone.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What poke-thru body is the 8CT2GY designed for?
A: The 8CT2GY is the flush cover for the Middle Atlantic 8-circuit EVO recessed poke-thru floor box series. Verify the body model before ordering to ensure the cover footprint and receptacle configuration match.
Q: What are the dimensions of the 8CT2GY?
A: The overall dimensions are 11.5" x 11.5" x 2" (292.1 x 292.1 x 50.8 mm).
Q: Is the 8CT2GY TAA compliant?
A: No. The 8CT2GY is not TAA compliant. Buyers on federal or TAA-restricted contracts should confirm project requirements before specifying this cover.
Q: What color is the 8CT2GY?
A: The 8CT2GY ships in gray — a neutral finish suited to most commercial carpet tile and hard-floor environments.
Q: Does the flush cover sit level with the floor?
A: Yes. The flush cover style means the lid sits at or near finished floor level, eliminating the raised-profile trip hazard associated with pop-up style covers.
The 8CT2GY is straightforward infrastructure — but getting the cover wrong on a poke-thru installation means pulling the floor up again. The flush profile on this cover is the key spec: at 2" total depth (50.8 mm), it clears standard plenum floors without shimming, and the level-surface finish matters in any space where rolling carts, chairs, or foot traffic are constant.
Technical Highlights:
- Flush cover style: sits level with the finished floor — no raised lip, no trip hazard, no ADA concern in high-traffic commercial zones.
- 11.5" x 11.5" x 2" footprint: sized precisely for the 8-circuit EVO body — this is a family-specific part, not a universal cover; the cutout dimensions must match.
- Standard receptacle type: configured for the standard outlet layout in the EVO 8-circuit series — specialty AV or data-only body variants use different covers.
Deployment Considerations:
- Confirm the installed body is the EVO 8-circuit series before ordering — Middle Atlantic offers multiple poke-thru families with different footprints and cover SKUs; a mismatch means the cover will not seat correctly.
- TAA compliance is not available on the 8CT2GY — if the project has federal procurement restrictions, this cover cannot be specified regardless of the body it covers.
Best fit for conference room and boardroom AV buildouts on the Middle Atlantic EVO poke-thru platform where a clean, flush floor finish is non-negotiable and the standard receptacle layout meets the room's power and connectivity requirements.
