Middle Atlantic 895TCAL Aluminum Duplex Receptacle Cover Plate with Flip Lids
Overview
The Middle Atlantic 895TCAL is a ratchet-mount duplex receptacle cover plate designed for the 881-series concrete floor box system. At 5.5 in × 5.5 in with a 0.25 in profile, this aluminum/black plate sits flush with finished floor surfaces and provides protected access to duplex outlets via integrated flip lids — keeping receptacles covered when not in use, a practical requirement in high-traffic commercial environments where exposed outlets create both safety and debris ingress concerns. The 895TCAL belongs in any structured installation where power access points need to blend cleanly into the floor plane rather than project above it.
Compatibility
The 895TCAL is built specifically for the Middle Atlantic 881-series Ratchet-Pro concrete floor box system. It is not a universal fit — the ratchet-mount interface is proprietary to this series. Verify that your floor box is an 881-series unit before ordering; 895TCAL will not drop into standard poke-through fittings or competing floor box brands. The aluminum/black finish coordinates with typical commercial interiors and the broader Middle Atlantic floor box and power distribution line.
Installation Notes
The cover plate mounts via the 881-series ratchet mechanism — no separate fasteners required for the plate itself. The 0.25 in height above the floor surface is intentional: it sits nearly flush, so confirm your floor finish depth is accounted for before the concrete pour or tile set. The 5.5 in × 5.5 in footprint matches the 881-series rough-in opening; do not attempt to cut down or field-modify the plate, as the ratchet engagement tabs are precisely toleranced. TAA compliance is not applicable to this SKU. For broader floor box and cover plate options, additional series are available if this footprint does not match your rough-in.
