Middle Atlantic EVO FLR BX Flush CVR Solid LID - EFB6810BTSB

Middle Atlantic EFB6810BTSB Flush Floor Box Cover — Satin Brass, TAA-Compliant

Overview

The Middle Atlantic EFB6810BTSB is a flush-mount floor box cover finished in satin brass, designed to close out the EVO Floor Box (EFB) series with a low-profile lid that sits level with finished flooring. If you're deploying A/V, power, or data infrastructure in boardrooms, lobbies, or open-plan commercial spaces where aesthetics matter, this cover keeps the installation clean and code-tidy without telegraphing the floor box beneath it. The EFB6810BTSB ships TAA-compliant and is manufactured in India under Federal procurement traceability requirements — a meaningful specification for government, defense, and GSA-schedule integrators who must document country of origin at the component level.

Key Features

• Flush Cover Style: The lid sits flush with the surrounding floor surface rather than projecting above it — reduces trip-hazard exposure in high-traffic areas and meets most finished-floor aesthetic standards in commercial interiors without requiring special trim work.
• Satin Brass Finish: Coordinates with mid-range commercial hardware finishes (door hardware, outlet covers, AV faceplates) common in hospitality, corporate, and institutional interiors. Use this finish where brushed nickel or polished chrome would look out of place.
• Standard Receptacle Layout: Accepts standard receptacle configurations — no custom cutouts, no non-standard tooling. This keeps installation straightforward for the electrician and makes future receptacle swaps a standard parts-bin exercise rather than a special-order event.
• TAA Compliant: Manufactured in India and confirmed TAA-compliant, meaning it qualifies for U.S. government contracts under the Trade Agreements Act. If your project has a TAA clause in the procurement specs, this cover satisfies it at the component level — document the country of origin (India) in your submittal package.
• Federal Ops Country of Origin — India: Traceable origin documentation supports Buy American / TAA compliance audits. Integrators working on federal facilities, DoD projects, or state government installs should note this for their compliance paperwork.

Integration & Compatibility

The EFB6810BTSB is designed for the Middle Atlantic EVO Floor Box (EFB) series. Verify the specific EFB box model in your installation before ordering — floor box covers are dimensionally matched to the box body, and mixing cover generations or third-party boxes is not recommended. The standard receptacle type means this cover pairs with conventional duplex or single receptacle inserts; confirm your insert configuration matches the cover's opening pattern before the electrician closes up the floor.

For a complete floor box assembly, pair this cover with the appropriate Middle Atlantic EVO floor box body and your choice of floor box infrastructure components. Integrators specifying A/V and power distribution for commercial installs should cross-reference Middle Atlantic's full power and surge protection catalog alongside cable management accessories to ensure a coordinated installation.

The detail that catches people off guard on the EFB6810BTSB is the TAA compliance documentation — most integrators think of floor box covers as pure commodity hardware, but on a federal facility or a GSA-schedule project, every component with a country of origin needs to be on the submittal. This cover ships with India as the documented Federal Ops country of origin, which means you can put it in your compliance package without a special letter from the manufacturer.

Technical Highlights:

• Flush Cover Style: Sits level with finished flooring — eliminates the raised-lip edge that creates snag points in carpeted or polished-concrete commercial floors. Relevant wherever you have rolling equipment or high foot traffic crossing the floor box location.
• Satin Brass Finish: Matches mid-tier commercial hardware specifications commonly called out by interior designers in hospitality and corporate environments — saves a finish-substitution RFI on projects with coordinated hardware schedules.
• Standard Receptacle Type: No proprietary insert required; your electrician uses off-the-shelf receptacles, which matters when a receptacle needs replacing three years post-installation and the original integrator is long gone.

Deployment Considerations:

• Confirm dimensional fit against your specific EFB series box body before the pour or before finish flooring goes down — cover-to-box dimensional mismatches discovered after flooring installation are expensive to correct.
• Satin brass is a finish-specific SKU; if the project's hardware finish changes during design development, you need a different cover — verify the finish specification is locked before procurement.

The EFB6810BTSB is the right call on federal, municipal, or GSA-schedule commercial builds where TAA compliance must be documented at the component level and the interior finish spec calls for satin brass — it handles both requirements without substitution.
