Middle Atlantic EVO FLR BX Surf CVR W Solid LID - EFB6810BTCGY

Middle Atlantic EFB6810BTCGY EVO Floor Box Surface Cover with Solid Lid

Overview

The Middle Atlantic EFB6810BTCGY is a surface-style solid lid cover designed for the EVO floor box series — the finish component that closes out a concrete floor box installation cleanly and keeps receptacles protected when not in active use. If you are specifying Middle Atlantic floor infrastructure for a conference room, boardroom, broadcast floor, or AV-integrated workspace, this cover is the field-selectable lid that completes the EFB6810 assembly in gray.

TAA compliance is confirmed for the EFB6810BTCGY, which means this cover qualifies for federal, state, and government-contract deployments where the Trade Agreements Act mandates compliant country-of-origin sourcing. The cover is manufactured in India, satisfying TAA rules under designated country provisions.

The surface cover profile sits flush or proud of the floor plane depending on installation depth — a surface mount style that does not require a recessed lid pocket, simplifying installations where precise floor depth is variable or where the box is set in a retrofit concrete cut rather than a new-pour rough-in. For integrators who have done both recessed and surface installs in the same building, this distinction matters: surface lids tolerate more variation in box set-depth without creating a trip hazard or an uneven finish line.

Key Features

• Surface Cover Style: the surface mount profile accommodates installations where the floor box sits slightly proud of the finish floor, avoiding the precision depth-setting that recessed lid styles demand — useful in retrofit cuts or where slab depth varies across zones in the same building.
• Solid Lid: a closed, solid-top design protects the receptacle cavity when the floor box is not in active use — keeps debris, cleaning fluids, and foot traffic out of the box without requiring a separate dust cover insert. In high-traffic areas like conference centers or stadium press boxes, this matters for longevity.
• Gray Finish: neutral gray coordinates with standard carpet tile, polished concrete, and commercial LVT flooring finishes common in enterprise and government interiors. If the project specifies a different color family, verify the EFB6810 cover color options before ordering — color is a non-reversible field selection once installed.
• Standard Receptacle Type: accommodates standard receptacle configurations rather than a specialty or decora-only cut-out — compatible with the common duplex outlet and plug configurations that dominate commercial AV and power distribution installations. No adapter rings or custom faceplates required for standard receptacle bodies.
• TAA Compliant: federal procurement, GSA schedule orders, and state government contracts that require TAA-compliant products can specify the EFB6810BTCGY without a waiver. Country of origin is India, a TAA-designated country — this is a verifiable compliance point, not a marketing label.
• Country of Origin — India: for contracts that require Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) country-of-origin documentation or TAA designated-country verification, India qualifies. Procurement teams managing Buy American or TAA-compliance checklists should note this for their records prior to issuing a PO.

Integration & Compatibility

The EFB6810BTCGY cover is designed for the Middle Atlantic EVO floor box series — specifically the EFB6810 base assembly. When specifying this cover, confirm the base unit model against the Middle Atlantic product line to ensure the cover-to-box interface matches. Floor box covers are not universally interchangeable across brands or even across series within a brand; the lid-to-frame seating geometry, screw pattern, and gasket profile are series-specific.

For integrators sourcing this as part of a broader floor box infrastructure build-out, the EFB6810BTCGY is one cover option within the EVO FLR BX cover family — other lid styles (recessed, carpet, tile-inlay) exist for the same base unit and serve different finish-floor conditions. Selecting the right lid style at the design phase prevents costly re-orders after concrete is poured.

AV system designers pairing this with structured cabling infrastructure should cross-reference the receptacle cutout dimensions against the planned outlet or cable management insert before finalizing the bill of materials. The standard receptacle type accommodates common commercial configurations, but verify against the specific outlet body you are installing.

For projects requiring AV infrastructure components beyond the floor box itself — rack systems, cable pathways, power distribution — the Middle Atlantic EVO line integrates with the broader Middle Atlantic ecosystem, which reduces cross-vendor fit issues in complex system builds.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the EFB6810BTCGY TAA compliant?

A: Yes. The EFB6810BTCGY is confirmed TAA compliant, with country of origin listed as India — a TAA-designated country. It qualifies for federal and government contract procurement under Trade Agreements Act requirements.

Q: What is the cover style of the EFB6810BTCGY?

A: The EFB6810BTCGY uses a surface cover style with a solid lid. This means it sits at or slightly above the floor plane rather than requiring a recessed pocket, which simplifies installations where slab depth is variable or in retrofit applications.

Q: What receptacle type does the EFB6810BTCGY support?

A: It supports the standard receptacle type, compatible with common commercial duplex outlet configurations. No specialty adapter rings or custom faceplates are required for standard receptacle bodies.

Q: What color is the EFB6810BTCGY?

A: The EFB6810BTCGY is gray. This neutral finish coordinates with standard commercial flooring materials including polished concrete, carpet tile, and LVT common in enterprise and government interiors.

Q: Where is the EFB6810BTCGY manufactured?

A: The EFB6810BTCGY is manufactured in India. This satisfies TAA designated-country requirements and should be documented for FAR compliance records on government contracts.

Q: Is the EFB6810BTCGY compatible with all Middle Atlantic floor boxes?

A: The EFB6810BTCGY is designed specifically for the Middle Atlantic EVO floor box series (EFB6810 base). Floor box covers are not universally interchangeable — confirm the base unit model before ordering to ensure the lid-to-frame interface and screw pattern match.
