Middle Atlantic EFB6810BTBK Flush Floor Box Cover Solid Lid
Overview
The Middle Atlantic EFB6810BTBK is a flush-mount solid cover lid designed for the EVO FLR BX (EFB6810) series of concrete floor boxes — the finishing piece that closes out a floor box installation cleanly when the receptacles beneath need to stay accessible but protected when not in active use. The flush profile sits level with the finished floor surface, eliminating trip hazards in high-traffic areas like conference rooms, boardrooms, training spaces, and open-plan AV integration environments. If you're specifying or closing out a Middle Atlantic floor box installation and need a solid lid in black, this is the correct cover.
The cover ships in black and is finished to match the standard EFB6810 family aesthetic. TAA compliance is verified for this SKU, which satisfies federal procurement requirements for government facilities, GSA schedule orders, and DoD projects where country-of-origin rules apply — the EFB6810BTBK is manufactured in India and meets Trade Agreements Act standards.
Key Features
- Flush Cover Profile: The flush-mount design sits level with the floor surface rather than protruding above it — critical in any space where rolling carts, chairs, or foot traffic cross the floor. A raised lid in a conference room or training center creates a snag and liability point; flush eliminates that entirely.
- Solid Lid Construction: This is a solid (non-insert, non-pass-through) cover, meaning it fully closes the floor box opening. Correct choice when the box needs to be sealed between uses — keeping dust, debris, and liquids out of the receptacle cavity. If you need a lid with cutouts for active cable pass-through, that's a different cover variant.
- Black Finish: The black color coordinates with dark or neutral flooring materials — polished concrete, dark hardwood, or carpet tile in commercial and government interiors. Avoids the industrial silver look that clashes with finished AV or executive spaces.
- Standard Receptacle Compatibility: Rated for standard receptacle configurations within the EFB6810 box body — confirms fit with the common outlet arrangements deployed in floor box and in-floor power installations rather than specialty or modular insert variants.
- TAA Compliant: Verified TAA compliance means this cover can be specified on federal, state, and municipal projects subject to Trade Agreements Act rules. If your project requires a TAA-compliant bill of materials, the EFB6810BTBK satisfies that requirement without substitution risk.
- Country of Origin — India: Manufactured in India, consistent with TAA-compliant sourcing (India is a TAA-designated country). For Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) compliance documentation, the Federal Ops Country of Origin is recorded as India — important for contract closeout paperwork on government AV/IT infrastructure projects.
Integration and Compatibility
The EFB6810BTBK is designed specifically for the Middle Atlantic EVO FLR BX EFB6810 concrete floor box series. Before ordering, confirm the box body model in your installation — Middle Atlantic offers multiple floor box families, and cover fitment is not universal across series. This cover pairs with the standard receptacle configuration; if your box is populated with modular inserts or specialty connectors, verify the cover variant against the box model number.
For integrators specifying complete floor box assemblies for AV systems, huddle rooms, or government facilities, pairing this cover with the correct EFB6810 box body and appropriate power and connectivity components completes the installation. The flush profile and black finish are consistent with Middle Atlantic's EVO line design language across the full product family.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the EFB6810BTBK TAA compliant?
A: Yes. The EFB6810BTBK is verified TAA compliant, with a Federal Ops Country of Origin of India — a TAA-designated country. It can be specified on government and federal procurement projects subject to Trade Agreements Act requirements.
Q: What floor box body does the EFB6810BTBK fit?
A: The EFB6810BTBK is a cover lid for the Middle Atlantic EVO FLR BX EFB6810 series concrete floor box. Confirm your box body model number before ordering — cover fitment is series-specific and not universal across Middle Atlantic's floor box product line.
Q: Is this a solid cover or does it have openings for cables?
A: This is a solid lid cover. It fully closes the floor box opening, making it the right choice when the receptacles need to be protected and sealed between uses. If you need a cover with cutouts or pass-through openings for active cable routing, a different cover variant is required.
Q: What color is the EFB6810BTBK?
A: Black. The cover is finished in black, suitable for coordination with dark flooring materials and commercial interior finishes in conference, government, and AV integration environments.
Q: Can the EFB6810BTBK be used in concrete floor applications?
A: Yes. The EFB6810 series is a concrete floor box line, and this cover is designed for that application — flush-mount installation in poured concrete or hard floor surfaces where a level, traffic-safe finish is required.
The detail that matters most on the EFB6810BTBK is the flush cover style — in a government boardroom or a federal training facility with polished concrete floors, a lid that sits proud of the surface even a few millimeters is a liability. The flush profile on this cover eliminates that. I specify this SKU specifically for TAA-required government AV projects where the floor box assembly needs a verifiable country-of-origin chain; India qualifies under the Trade Agreements Act, and Middle Atlantic documents it cleanly.
Technical Highlights:
- Flush Mount Profile: Sits level with the finished floor surface — no protrusion, no trip hazard, no visual interruption in finished commercial interiors.
- TAA Compliance: Verified for this SKU with Federal Ops Country of Origin recorded as India (a TAA-designated country) — satisfies FAR clause requirements for government procurement without a waiver.
- Solid Lid Design: Fully seals the floor box cavity when closed, keeping debris and liquids out of the receptacle housing between uses — important in high-traffic or multipurpose spaces.
Deployment Considerations:
- Confirm the box body model is EFB6810-series before ordering — this cover is not a universal fit across Middle Atlantic's full floor box lineup, and ordering the wrong cover variant means a return trip.
- This is a solid lid with no pass-through openings; if cables need to remain routed through the cover while closed, a different cover variant with cutouts is required.
Best fit: government facilities, federal AV integration projects, and finished commercial interiors — specifically any installation where TAA compliance documentation is required at closeout and a flush, clean floor finish is non-negotiable.
