Middle Atlantic Poly CVR Conv KIT Alum - 896PCK-AL

Middle Atlantic 896PCK-AL Poly Cover Conversion Kit — Aluminum

Overview

The 896PCK-AL is a replacement aluminum cover plate designed for the Middle Atlantic Ratchet-Pro 881-series raised floor box ecosystem. If you're retrofitting an existing 881-series floor box installation or need to swap out a damaged cover, the 896PCK-AL drops in as a direct conversion — no new box required. At 5.5 in × 5.5 in with a 0.25 in profile height, it sits flush in finished commercial floors without creating a trip hazard. The aluminum finish is suited to environments where the standard poly cover has worn or where a harder surface material is specified. TAA compliance makes this a straightforward procurement choice on government and federally funded projects.

Compatibility

Designed specifically for the Middle Atlantic 881-series raised floor box platform, including the 896PCK Ratchet-Pro communications and power cover plate line. This kit is a direct fit for existing 881-series box cutouts — do not attempt to fit this cover to non-881-series floor boxes, as the ratchet-pro retention mechanism is proprietary to that family. If you're sourcing components for a new raised floor infrastructure build, pair this cover with the appropriate floor box and enclosure accessories from the same 881-series line to ensure ratchet engagement and flush seating.

Installation Notes

The 0.25 in installed height is intentional — the cover is designed to sit at or just above finished floor level in raised access floor systems. Verify floor cutout dimensions match the 5.5 in × 5.5 in footprint before ordering. No special tooling is called out in available evidence; the ratchet-pro retention mechanism is tool-free per standard 881-series installation procedure.
