Middle Atlantic FLR BX Activation W/gray - 881RC4ATCGY

Middle Atlantic 881RC4ATCGY Floor Box Cover Kit — Gray

Overview

The Middle Atlantic 881RC4ATCGY is the gray cover kit for the 881 Series Ratchet-Pro multiple-service concrete floor box, part of the Middle Atlantic floor infrastructure line. At 8.25 in × 8.25 in (21 cm × 21 cm) with a 3.75 in (9.5 cm) height profile, it is engineered to finish a flush-mount concrete floor box installation in commercial and government environments where TAA compliance is a procurement requirement. If you are sourcing this for a federal facility, education project, or GSA contract, the TAA-compliant designation on the 881RC4ATCGY means it qualifies without additional country-of-origin review.

The gray colorway is the standard neutral finish for most commercial floor box deployments — it reads as an architectural feature rather than an afterthought on finished concrete, raised-access, or polished stone floors. For installations where the cover color must coordinate with a specific finish palette, Middle Atlantic offers this same Ratchet-Pro cover kit in alternate colors within the 881 Series family.

Key Features

• TAA Compliance: Verified TAA compliant — qualifies for federal, state, and education projects subject to Trade Agreements Act procurement rules. No waiver required.
• 8.25 in × 8.25 in Footprint (21 cm × 21 cm): Sized specifically for the 881 Series concrete floor box. Confirm the box model in your installation before ordering — a mismatched cover is a field problem, not a return.
• 3.75 in Height (9.5 cm): Low-profile above-floor height keeps the cover flush and within ADA-accessible surface tolerance ranges for pedestrian and wheeled-equipment traffic areas.
• Gray Finish: Neutral architectural gray — the standard commercial specification color that reads cleanly in conference rooms, lobbies, and open-plan AV environments without drawing attention.
• Ratchet-Pro Mechanism: The 881 Series uses a ratcheting lid system that allows single-hand operation and holds the cover open at a controlled angle during cable management — relevant in high-traffic areas where an unsupported lid is a trip hazard.

Integration & Compatibility

The 881RC4ATCGY cover kit is designed for the 881RC4AT Ratchet-Pro 881 Series multiple-service concrete floor box. It does not fit other Middle Atlantic floor box series or third-party floor box bodies. Verify your installed box model number before placing an order. This cover ships as the gray (CGY suffix) variant; if your project specifies a different color, confirm the correct suffix against the 881 Series color chart before ordering. For AV infrastructure planning, this product pairs with structured cable management components in the same installation.

A: Yes. The 881RC4ATCGY is verified TAA compliant, making it eligible for federal, state, and education procurements governed by the Trade Agreements Act.

Q: What floor box body does the 881RC4ATCGY cover kit fit?

A: The 881RC4ATCGY is the cover kit for the Middle Atlantic 881RC4AT Ratchet-Pro 881 Series multiple-service concrete floor box. It is not a universal fit — verify your installed box model before ordering.

Q: What are the dimensions of the 881RC4ATCGY?

A: The cover kit measures 8.25 in wide × 8.25 in deep (21 cm × 21 cm), with a height of 3.75 in (9.5 cm).

Q: What color is the 881RC4ATCGY?

A: Gray (the CGY suffix in the part number denotes the gray finish). If your project requires a different color, confirm the correct 881RC4AT cover kit part number suffix before ordering.

Q: Can the 881RC4ATCGY be used in pedestrian traffic areas?

The 881RC4ATCGY is the gray finish cover kit for Middle Atlantic's 881 Series Ratchet-Pro concrete floor box — a detail that matters more at the tail end of an AV or security infrastructure project than most buyers anticipate. The 8.25 in × 8.25 in footprint is fixed to the 881RC4AT box body, so the only field decision here is color and TAA status. On government or education projects where TAA compliance is a line-item requirement, the 881RC4ATCGY checks that box without any additional sourcing documentation.

Technical Highlights:

• TAA Compliant: Verified compliant — qualifies for GSA schedules, state cooperative contracts, and E-rate eligible deployments without a country-of-origin waiver.
• 8.25 × 8.25 in (21 × 21 cm) footprint: Dimensionally matched to the 881RC4AT box body — this is not an adjustable or universal cover; dimensional fit is locked at design.
• 3.75 in (9.5 cm) height: Low enough for commercial pedestrian zones; the ratcheting lid holds open hands-free during cable pull or device swap, reducing the two-person requirement for lid management in high-foot-traffic installs.

Deployment Considerations:

• Confirm the installed floor box is the 881RC4AT before ordering — the cover kit is not interchangeable across the Middle Atlantic floor box line, and a mis-specified cover is a field delay, not a quick fix.
• Evidence does not include load rating, fire rating, or floor finish compatibility data — confirm those requirements against the full 881 Series product documentation before specifying for raised-access floors or environments with stringent fire code requirements.

Best fit for commercial AV infrastructure projects — conference centers, higher education, government facilities — where the floor box is already installed as the 881RC4AT body and the gray finish matches the architectural specification. TAA compliance makes it a straightforward procurement on federal and cooperative contract vehicles.
