Middle Atlantic Black Nonmetallic Flip LI - 829PFL-BLK

Middle Atlantic 829PFL-BLK Black Nonmetallic Flip Lid Cover Plate

Overview

The Middle Atlantic 829PFL-BLK is a black nonmetallic flip lid cover plate designed for use with compatible Middle Atlantic floor box systems. At just 0.5 in. tall with a 3.25 in. × 4.25 in. footprint, it sits flush and unobtrusive in finished commercial flooring — the kind of detail that matters in conference rooms, lobbies, and open-plan office deployments where a bulky or mismatched cover pulls attention. The 829PFL-BLK (often searched as 829PFL BLK) is TAA compliant, making it eligible for federally funded projects and government facilities subject to the Trade Agreements Act.

Key Features

• Nonmetallic construction: The flip lid is built from nonmetallic material, which resists corrosion in environments where a bare metal plate could oxidize or stain adjacent flooring finishes — relevant in high-humidity or chemically treated floors common in healthcare and light industrial settings.
• Low-profile 0.5 in. height: The 0.5 in. (1.3 cm) installed height means the plate sits nearly flush with the floor surface, reducing trip-hazard exposure and meeting typical ADA-related floor obstruction considerations in pedestrian traffic areas.
• Compact 3.25 in. × 4.25 in. footprint: At 3.25 in. wide by 4.25 in. deep (8.3 × 10.8 cm), the cover plate fits within the standard floor box cover envelope used across Middle Atlantic's Modulink and compatible floor box families — confirm your specific floor box model for fit before ordering.
• Black finish: The black colorway coordinates with dark flooring, conference table grommets, and AV furniture — a straightforward spec that eliminates the visual mismatch that comes with defaulting to gray or metalite finishes in darker installations.
• TAA Compliant: Verified TAA compliance means this part can be included in TAA-compliant system builds for government, education, and federal contractor projects without triggering a country-of-origin issue on the bill of materials.

Integration & Compatibility

The 829PFL-BLK is sourced from Middle Atlantic's Modulink floor box line. Before specifying this cover plate, verify compatibility with your installed floor box model — Middle Atlantic produces multiple box configurations, and cover plate fit is dimension- and mounting-pattern-dependent. For broader Middle Atlantic floor box accessories and compatible components, confirm the parent box model number with your project documentation. This plate does not include wiring modules, inserts, or power/data components — it is a cover plate only.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the 829PFL-BLK TAA compliant?

A: Yes. The 829PFL-BLK is verified TAA compliant, making it suitable for federally funded projects and government procurement subject to the Trade Agreements Act.

Q: What are the dimensions of the 829PFL-BLK?

A: The cover plate measures 3.25 in. wide × 4.25 in. deep × 0.5 in. tall (8.3 × 10.8 × 1.3 cm).

Q: What color is the 829PFL-BLK?

A: Black.

Q: Does the 829PFL-BLK include wiring inserts or power modules?

A: No. The 829PFL-BLK is a cover plate only and does not include power, data, or wiring insert modules. Compatible inserts must be sourced separately.

Q: Which floor box is the 829PFL-BLK compatible with?

A: The 829PFL-BLK is associated with the Middle Atlantic Modulink 880MP series floor box line. Verify your specific installed floor box model number before ordering to confirm fit.

Ted Perry

The 829PFL-BLK is a detail-level component, but it's the kind of part that derails a closeout inspection when it's wrong. At 0.5 in. installed height and a 3.25 × 4.25 in. footprint, it fits the Modulink 880MP envelope — but that only matters if you've confirmed your floor box model first. I've seen integrators drop in a cover plate late in a project without cross-referencing the parent box, and the re-order delay on a single cover holds up final walkthrough sign-off.

Technical Highlights:

• 0.5 in. profile: Nearly flush with finished flooring — reduces trip-hazard exposure in pedestrian corridors and conference spaces without requiring a recessed mounting solution.
• Nonmetallic construction: Won't corrode or oxidize in environments where chemical cleaning agents contact the floor surface — relevant in healthcare or light-industrial settings where metal plates can stain adjacent tile or grout.
• TAA Compliant: Verified country-of-origin compliance means the 829PFL-BLK can be line-itemed on government and federally funded project BOMs without triggering a procurement hold.

Deployment Considerations:

• Confirm the parent floor box model number before ordering — Middle Atlantic produces multiple Modulink configurations, and cover plate fit is specific to the box mounting pattern and opening dimensions.
• This is a cover plate only: no power, data, or insert modules are included. If the project spec calls for active connectivity at the floor box, inserts must be sourced and ordered separately.

Best fit for conference room and lobby AV builds on government or education campuses where TAA compliance is a hard procurement requirement and a low-profile black finish is the specified finish standard.
