Middle Atlantic Abandon PLT Only 3 1/2IN - 1043BPO

Middle Atlantic 1043BPO Blanking Plate for In-Floor Service Fittings

Overview

The Middle Atlantic 1043BPO is a brass blanking plate designed to cap unused openings in 1043 and 525 series in-floor service fitting assemblies. When a service fitting cutout is no longer needed — or hasn't been populated yet during phased installation — the 1043BPO provides a flush, finished closure that keeps the floor surface clean and prevents debris ingress into the raceway below. The brass finish integrates with standard commercial flooring aesthetics, and TAA compliance makes it a straightforward procurement choice for government facilities and federally funded projects.

Compatibility

The 1043BPO is engineered for the Middle Atlantic 1043 and 525 series in-floor service fitting families. It functions as a cover-only replacement or placeholder component within those assemblies — it does not include the fitting body, insert frame, or any wiring hardware. Confirm your existing fitting series before ordering; this plate is not a universal fit across different in-floor raceway brands or unrelated Middle Atlantic product lines. If you are outfitting a cable management or structured cabling infrastructure, verify the series designation stamped on your floor box frame.

Installation Notes

The 1043BPO drops into the fitting opening and seats against the frame — no specialized tooling called out in the available evidence. Because this is a plate-only component, no wiring connections are required. TAA compliance is confirmed for this SKU, making it eligible for GSA schedule purchases and projects subject to the Trade Agreements Act without additional documentation burden.
