About the Carlon E9761BR Single Gang Cover (Brass) for use w/ Carlon Rectangular Floor Box
The Carlon E9761BR is a single-gang brass cover plate engineered as the finishing component for specific rectangular floor box models from the same manufacturer. Its primary role is to provide a secure, flush-mounted closure that protects electrical devices installed at floor level, such as power outlets and data ports, from physical impact, dust, and liquid spills. The use of solid brass as the base material ensures exceptional longevity and resistance to corrosion, which is vital for maintaining both functionality and appearance in environments subject to foot traffic and periodic cleaning. This cover is integral to creating a safe and code-compliant in-floor electrical system, preventing accidental contact with live parts while allowing for easy accessibility to the installed services.
The design focuses on achieving a low-profile installation that minimizes trip hazards and allows the cover to sit nearly even with the surrounding flooring material. Precise machining guarantees a correct fit with the corresponding floor box body, creating a stable and rattle-free assembly. The brass finish offers a distinct, warm appearance that can complement various interior decors, often used in settings where design aesthetics are as important as utility, including corporate offices, hotels, and high-end residential buildings. The cover’s construction is robust enough to handle the sustained pressure from furniture and occasional rolling loads, making it a reliable choice for dynamic commercial spaces.
Installation is a simple process of aligning the cover over the seated devices and tightening the supplied screws into the threaded inserts of the floor box. This single-gang configuration accommodates a standard duplex receptacle, a rocker switch, or a combination low-voltage module, providing flexibility for the end-use application. By serving as the final interface between the electrical system and the room’s occupants, the E9761BR ensures that in-floor power and data distribution solutions are both practical and visually unobtrusive. It represents a critical element in modern architectural design, where seamless integration of technology into the built environment is essential.
