Middle Atlantic EFB45BTAA EVO Series Flush Solid Floor Box Cover
Overview
The Middle Atlantic EFB45BTAA is the flush-mount, solid-lid cover plate designed specifically for the Evolution (EVO) Series EFB45 raised floor box — the finishing component that closes out a floor box installation with a clean, low-profile surface when receptacles are not in active use. If you are deploying structured cabling, AV distribution, or security infrastructure across raised-floor environments such as open-plan offices, conference centers, or data-adjacent spaces, the right cover is the difference between a finished, professional installation and an exposed hazard. The EFB45BTAA delivers that finish in brushed aluminum with a standard receptacle cutout configuration and full TAA compliance for government and federally funded projects.

Key Features
- Flush Profile: The flush cover style sits flush with the finished floor surface when closed — no raised lip to catch foot traffic, no trip hazard in high-pedestrian areas. This matters in conference rooms, classrooms, and public lobbies where ADA compliance and traffic flow are real design constraints, not afterthoughts.
- Brushed Aluminum Finish: The brushed aluminum surface holds up to repeated foot traffic and cleaning cycles without showing wear the way painted or plastic covers do. In commercial spaces where the floor box is visible daily, this finish reads as intentional architecture rather than an afterthought utility fitting.
- Solid Lid Configuration: Unlike louvered or gasketed lids designed for ventilation or cable pass-through, the solid lid provides a clean, closed surface when the box is not in active use. This is the correct choice when you want the floor box concealed entirely — no open slots, no visible interior.
- Standard Receptacle Cutout: The standard receptacle type means this cover is compatible with the normal population of EFB45 insert configurations — power, data, HDMI, and combination modules that integrators stock for EVO series builds. You are not locked into a proprietary insert format.
- TAA Compliant: The EFB45BTAA carries TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance, which is a hard requirement for GSA schedule work, federal agency deployments, Department of Defense installations, and many state and local government contracts. If your project requires TAA documentation, this cover satisfies that requirement — a detail that eliminates a line-item risk on government bids.
- Purpose-Built for EVO Series: This cover is engineered as part of the Middle Atlantic Evolution floor box system. Fitting a cover designed for the platform it closes means consistent tolerances, correct seating, and no field-modification gymnastics to make a generic cover fit a precision-machined floor box.
Integration & Compatibility
The EFB45BTAA is designed for the Middle Atlantic EFB45 Evolution Series raised floor box. It pairs with the standard EVO Series insert population — power, data, AV, and combination modules — using the standard receptacle interface. For integrators sourcing the complete floor box assembly, pair this cover with the appropriate EFB45 base unit and your selected insert modules. See the floor boxes category for compatible base units and inserts.
TAA compliance makes this cover directly applicable to projects governed by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clause 52.225-5, GSA schedule contracts, and comparable state procurement standards. Verify your specific contract's TAA documentation requirements with your contracting officer — the compliance status of the EFB45BTAA satisfies the product-level requirement.
For broader AV and security infrastructure planning, this cover fits into rack and floor-distribution builds where power distribution and structured cabling converge at the floor level. If you are specifying a conference room or operations center with integrated AV, security, and network connectivity at floor outlets, the EVO series system — with the EFB45BTAA as the finish cover — is a consistent platform choice.
