Middle Atlantic Dup/gfi Brass Cover - 828DPGFITC

Middle Atlantic 828DPGFITC Duplex/GFI Brass Cover Plate

Overview

The Middle Atlantic 828DPGFITC is a brass duplex/GFI cover plate designed for rectangular concrete floor box installations. At 3.13 in wide by 4.13 in deep and just 0.25 in tall, it sits flush with finished floor surfaces — the right finish hardware when you need a clean, low-profile termination point at a floor-level power or data outlet. Brass construction gives it the durability expected in commercial and light-industrial spaces where plastic covers get damaged or look out of place.

This cover is purpose-built for the Middle Atlantic floor box product line, so it drops into the rectangular concrete floor box opening without shimming or adapting. If you're specifying floor boxes and covers for a conference room, boardroom, open-plan workspace, or AV-equipped training room, the 828DPGFITC is the brass-finish option that matches commercial interior standards without introducing a visible gap or misaligned plate.

Key Features

• Brass finish construction: Brass holds up to repeated foot traffic and cleaning chemicals better than painted steel or plastic — relevant in high-use areas like hotel ballrooms, corporate lobbies, and university lecture halls where covers get scuffed regularly.
• Low-profile 0.25 in height: At just a quarter-inch above the floor plane, this cover presents minimal trip hazard and meets the flush-finish expectation of architects and facilities managers. Anything taller risks a code flag or a safety concern on smooth flooring surfaces.
• 3.13 in x 4.13 in footprint: Sized for the standard rectangular duplex/GFI opening in compatible Middle Atlantic concrete floor boxes — no cutting, no adapters, direct drop-in replacement or new installation.
• Duplex/GFI configuration: Covers a standard duplex receptacle or a GFCI (ground-fault circuit-interrupter) receptacle in the same opening, giving you flexibility to wire either outlet type behind the same finish plate depending on NEC requirements for the space.
• TAA non-compliant: The 828DPGFITC is not TAA compliant — if you're specifying for a federal facility, GSA contract, or government-funded project with TAA requirements, verify your compliance path before ordering. For commercial, corporate, or private-sector work, this is a non-issue.

Integration & Compatibility

This cover plate is designed for use with Middle Atlantic rectangular concrete floor boxes in the 828 series. Before ordering, confirm your floor box model accepts this cover plate format — verify the opening dimensions match the 3.13 in x 4.13 in plate footprint. For AV and security integration projects, the 828DPGFITC pairs naturally with floor-mounted power and data distribution assemblies in rack and AV furniture deployments. If your floor box will serve data drops alongside power, review whether a combination cover plate (power + data insert) fits your outlet configuration, or whether separate covers are required by your box model.

For integrators specifying power infrastructure alongside this cover, Middle Atlantic's broader power and surge protection line covers the upstream protection side of the installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

A: The 828DPGFITC measures 3.13 in wide, 4.13 in deep, and 0.25 in tall (8 cm x 10.5 cm x 0.6 cm).

Q: Is the 828DPGFITC TAA compliant?

Q: What color/finish is the 828DPGFITC?

A: Brass. It is designed for installations where a metal finish is preferred over plastic for durability and appearance.

Q: Does the 828DPGFITC cover a GFCI receptacle?

The 828DPGFITC is one of those finish-hardware items that gets specified late and ordered in a hurry — but getting the wrong cover plate means pulling up your floor box after the pour or tile work is done. The brass finish and the 3.13 in x 4.13 in footprint are the two numbers to verify against your concrete floor box model before you place the order.

Technical Highlights:

• 0.25 in profile height: Sits nearly flush with the finished floor surface — critical for ADA-conscious designs and any installation on polished concrete or hardwood where a raised lip is a liability concern.
• Brass construction: More resistant to deformation and surface wear than plastic covers in high-traffic commercial areas; maintains appearance longer in environments with regular cleaning or floor buffing.
• Duplex/GFI opening: One cover plate handles either receptacle type, so if the electrician ends up installing a GFCI instead of a standard duplex (as NEC 210.8 often requires near water sources), the 828DPGFITC still fits without reordering a different plate.

Deployment Considerations:

• Confirm the floor box model number before ordering — the 828DPGFITC is sized for Middle Atlantic 828-series rectangular concrete floor boxes; a different series or a round box will not accept this cover plate.
• TAA compliance is not supported on this SKU — do not specify for GSA schedule, federal government, or DoD projects without reviewing your compliance obligations.

Best fit for corporate AV build-outs, hotel meeting rooms, and university lecture halls where a brass-finish floor outlet cover is the specified finish standard and the underlying box is confirmed Middle Atlantic 828-series.
