Middle Atlantic EFB6810BTCSB EVO Floor Box Surface Cover — Satin Brass
Overview
The Middle Atlantic EFB6810BTCSB is a surface-style cover designed for the EVO FLR BX concrete floor box series, finished in satin brass with a solid lid configuration. It pairs with standard receptacle configurations and ships from an India-based production facility — a detail that matters for procurement teams working within TAA-compliant purchasing programs, since this cover carries confirmed TAA compliance for GSA and government contract use.
If your project calls for a finished, furniture-grade floor box installation in a corporate lobby, boardroom, or AV-equipped conference room, the EFB6810BTCSB delivers the cover-plate component without compromise on finish consistency. Satin brass reads as intentional in high-finish environments — not an afterthought hardware choice. The surface-mount cover style means it sits flush to the floor surround rather than recessing below grade, which simplifies retrofit installations where the concrete pour depth wasn't sized for a fully recessed lid profile.
Key Features
- Surface Cover Style: The surface configuration seats the cover at floor level rather than requiring a deep recess cutout — useful in retrofit scenarios or shallow concrete pours where a fully recessed lid would require additional core work. You get a clean, finished appearance without the extra labor.
- Satin Brass Finish: Matches the broader Middle Atlantic EVO floor box hardware family in satin brass, so your cover plate, receptacle rings, and surrounding trim all share the same tone. Mismatched finishes on floor boxes draw complaints in high-visibility installs like executive suites and hotel lobbies — consistent finish selection prevents that.
- Standard Receptacle Type: Configured for standard receptacle cutouts, which means it integrates with conventional duplex or single-gang outlets without requiring custom bezels or adapters. This is the right choice for straightforward power and data drop points; specialty receptacle configurations would require a different cover variant.
- TAA Compliant — Confirmed: TAA compliance is verified for this SKU, making EFB6810BTCSB eligible for GSA Schedule purchases and government facility installations where the Trade Agreements Act is a contractual requirement. Many floor box components get overlooked in TAA audits — having it confirmed at the component level removes a procurement risk.
- Country of Origin — India: Manufactured in India and TAA-compliant — India is a designated country under the Trade Agreements Act, so the sourcing geography aligns with the compliance status. This is the detail procurement officers need documented for contract files.
Integration and Compatibility
The EFB6810BTCSB is designed for use within the Middle Atlantic EVO FLR BX concrete floor box cover system. Verify the specific EFB6810 base unit part number before ordering — cover compatibility in the EVO line is keyed to the box series and receptacle module configuration. If you are specifying the full floor box assembly, confirm the base, receptacle modules, and cover are ordered as a matched set. This surface cover with solid lid is appropriate where a blank or closed cover position is needed — installations requiring open-grommet or data-pass-through cutouts will need a different cover variant from the same family.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the EFB6810BTCSB TAA compliant for GSA purchases?
A: Yes. TAA compliance is confirmed for this SKU. It is manufactured in India, which is a designated country under the Trade Agreements Act, making it eligible for GSA Schedule and other government procurement contracts that require TAA compliance.
Q: What finish does the EFB6810BTCSB come in?
A: Satin brass. This finish is consistent with the broader EVO FLR BX hardware family, designed for matched-finish floor box assemblies in corporate, hospitality, and government environments.
Q: What receptacle type does this cover support?
A: The EFB6810BTCSB is configured for a standard receptacle type. It is not designed for specialty or custom receptacle cutouts — those applications require a different cover variant.
Q: Is this a recessed or surface-mount cover?
A: Surface cover style. The cover sits at floor level rather than recessing below grade, which simplifies installation in retrofit applications or shallow concrete pours where a deep recess is not practical.
Q: Where is the EFB6810BTCSB manufactured?
A: India. The country of origin is India, and the product carries confirmed TAA compliance — these two facts are related, as India is a TAA-designated country.
The EFB6810BTCSB is the component that finishes a floor box installation the right way — the satin brass surface cover with solid lid closes out the EVO FLR BX assembly with a finish-grade result that holds up under scrutiny in high-visibility environments. When I spec floor boxes for government or corporate projects, confirmed TAA compliance at the component level is non-negotiable, and this cover has it documented.
Technical Highlights:
- TAA Compliant: Verified for this SKU — procurement teams can document it for GSA Schedule or contract compliance files without chasing the manufacturer for confirmation.
- Surface Cover Style: Seats at floor level, not below grade — eliminates the need for deeper concrete core work in retrofits and keeps installation straightforward on shallow-pour slabs.
- Satin Brass Finish: Consistent with EVO FLR BX family hardware, so the assembled floor box presents a unified finish rather than a mix of tones that draws attention in polished interior environments.
Deployment Considerations:
- Confirm the EFB6810 base unit and receptacle module part numbers before ordering — the EVO cover line is model-keyed, and a mismatched cover won't seat correctly in a different base series.
- This is a solid-lid cover, not a grommet or pass-through variant — if the installation needs cable routing through the cover itself, a different cover SKU from the EVO family is required.
The EFB6810BTCSB is the right call for GSA-eligible corporate or government facility buildouts where the floor box finish needs to match a satin brass hardware program and TAA documentation is a contract requirement.
