Description
The FSR FL-540P-BLP-C is a UL-listed floor box cover designed specifically for the FSR FL-540P series floor boxes, featuring an elegant quarter-inch brass carpet flange that provides a professional finished appearance in carpeted raised access floor installations. This cover combines functional accessibility with aesthetic refinement, making it ideal for executive conference rooms, boardrooms, and high-end commercial environments where appearance matters.
The cover design incorporates a lift-off section that provides full access to internal cables and connector plates housed within the FL-540P floor box below. This generous access opening simplifies initial installation, cable terminations, and future maintenance or reconfiguration. When cables are in use, a smaller hinged trap door folds back to create a controlled cable exit point, allowing neat cable routing while protecting against accidental contact with internal connections.
The brass carpet flange extends one-quarter inch above the floor surface, creating a defined border that separates the cover from surrounding carpet while preventing carpet fibers from encroaching on the opening. This brass accent provides visual definition and durability, maintaining an attractive appearance even in high-traffic areas. The UL listing ensures the cover meets rigorous safety standards for floor-mounted electrical enclosures.
FSR's FL-540P system is designed for raised access carpeted floors commonly found in modern commercial buildings. The floor boxes themselves feature adjustable internal brackets, multiple knockout configurations for cable entry, and sturdy drop-in floor lips that support the assembly flush with the floor surface. When not in use, cables can be stored within the box, allowing unencumbered travel over the floor. This cover completes the installation with professional-grade quality that matches the performance of the underlying floor box system.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q.What size floor box is the FL-540P-BLP-C cover designed for?
A. The FL-540P-BLP-C cover is designed specifically for FSR FL-540P series floor boxes, which have standard dimensions of 10 by 12 inches. The cover must be purchased separately from the floor box enclosure.
Q.What is the purpose of the brass carpet flange?
A. The quarter-inch brass carpet flange creates a raised border around the floor box opening that separates the cover from surrounding carpet. This prevents carpet fibers from entering the box, and provides an elegant, finished appearance suitable for executive environments.
Q.How does the cable exit work when cables are in use?
A. A smaller hinged trap door within the cover folds back to create a controlled cable exit point. This allows cables to exit the floor box neatly while providing protection for internal connections. When cables are not in use, they can be stored inside the floor box with the trap door closed.
Q. Is this cover suitable for non-carpeted floors?
A. This specific model is optimized for carpeted installations due to the carpet flange design. FSR offers alternative covers without flanges or with different flange styles for tile, hardwood, and other floor types. Check the FL-540P cover options for your specific floor surface.
