Middle Atlantic Floor BOX Cover Assy FOR Tile OR Carpet - RFB119BTCAL

Middle Atlantic RFB119BTCAL Floor Box Cover Assembly for Tile or Carpet

Overview

The Middle Atlantic RFB119BTCAL is a flush cover assembly engineered for the RFB9 and RFB11 Series concrete floor boxes, designed specifically for installations where the finished floor surface is tile or carpet. At just 1.5 inches tall with a 1.75-inch width profile, this cover sits low enough to integrate cleanly into a finished floor without creating a trip hazard or disrupting aesthetics in commercial, conference, or AV integration environments. The aluminum construction provides a durable, professional finish that holds up under foot traffic without the corrosion risk of painted steel alternatives.

TAA compliance makes the RFB119BTCAL a viable option for federal facilities, government integrations, and any project with Trade Agreements Act procurement requirements — a detail that eliminates a qualification step when bidding public-sector work.

Key Features

• Low-Profile 1.5 in Height: At 1.5 inches above the finished floor, this cover assembly keeps trip hazard risk minimal in high-traffic corridors, conference rooms, and open office deployments where floor boxes are frequently accessed.
• Aluminum Construction: The aluminum finish resists corrosion and surface wear better than painted alternatives — relevant in environments with cleaning equipment, rolling carts, or heavy foot traffic that would chip or scratch a coated steel cover over time.
• 1.75 in Width Profile: The narrow 1.75-inch width keeps the installed footprint compact, allowing the cover to sit flush without consuming significant floor real estate — important in tight conference table or podium installations.
• 12.5 in Depth: The 12.5-inch depth accommodates the RFB9 and RFB11 series floor box assembly, providing sufficient internal clearance for cable management and connectivity modules without the cover bowing or misaligning on the finished surface.
• TAA Compliant: Verified TAA compliance means this cover assembly qualifies for GSA schedules and federal procurement contracts without requiring a country-of-origin waiver — a straightforward procurement win on government or defense facility integrations.
• Tile and Carpet Rated: The cover is specifically engineered for tile or carpet finished surfaces, with a seating geometry that accommodates the thickness variation between those two flooring types without requiring custom shimming or adhesive workarounds.

Integration & Compatibility

The RFB119BTCAL is designed as a cover assembly for the Middle Atlantic RFB9 and RFB11 Series concrete floor boxes. If you are working with a different floor box series or a non-Middle Atlantic enclosure, verify the dimensional fit before ordering — this cover is purpose-built for that specific product family and is not a universal fit. For integrators specifying a complete AV infrastructure floor box system, pair this cover with the appropriate RFB9 or RFB11 base unit and the correct insert modules for your connectivity requirements (power, data, AV).

Because the cover is rated for both tile and carpet installations, it suits a wide range of commercial environments: boardrooms, training centers, hotel ballrooms, higher-education lecture halls, and government conference facilities. For concrete or bare-floor installations, a different cover variant in the RFB series would be the correct specification — confirm your finished floor type before purchasing.

When specifying for TAA-governed projects, retain documentation of the TAA compliance status. The RFB119BTCAL's verified compliance simplifies the procurement process on contracts requiring domestic or designated-country origin.

The RFB119BTCAL is a detail that gets missed until it causes a problem on site — specifically, specifying the wrong cover for the finished floor type. This cover is built for tile or carpet, with a 1.5-inch installed height and 12.5-inch depth that fits the RFB9 and RFB11 series concrete floor box footprint. Get that series match wrong and the cover won't seat correctly regardless of how carefully the concrete work was done.

Technical Highlights:

• Aluminum construction: Holds up under the cleaning and rolling-cart traffic that eats painted steel covers in commercial spaces — no chipping, no rust bleed onto tile grout lines.
• 1.5 in installed height: Low enough to stay ADA-aware in pedestrian paths without requiring a floor depression or recess beyond what the RFB series base already provides.
• TAA compliance (verified): Clears the procurement gate on federal and GSA-schedule projects without needing a waiver — one less item on the submittal checklist for government facility work.

Deployment Considerations:

• Confirm the base floor box is the RFB9 or RFB11 series before ordering — this cover is dimensionally specific to that family. A mismatch means a return, not a workaround.
• The cover is rated for tile or carpet only. If the finished floor spec changes to polished concrete or hardwood during a design revision, a different cover variant is required — flag this early in the submittal process.

The RFB119BTCAL is the right specification for conference centers, hotel ballrooms, and government training facilities where TAA compliance is non-negotiable and the finished floor is tile or carpet — straightforward to install correctly when the series match is confirmed upfront.
