  • Flip lids for a clean, low-profile look: The flip lids snap into place and stay flush with the surrounding floor surface when closed, delivering a neat, unobtrusive appearance.

This design minimizes dust and debris intrusion during fitment and ensures a tight, professional finish that stays aligned in high-traffic environments.

how to install Wiremold Ratchet-Pro 881 Series Duplex Cover Plate With Flip Lids

Installing the Ratchet-Pro 881 Series duplex cover plate is designed to be straightforward for qualified installers in commercial settings. Follow these steps to ensure a secure, durable installation that preserves floor aesthetics and service reliability:

  • 1. Prepare the installation site by confirming a compatible round floor box opening and verifying that power and data pathways are properly routed through the floor box assembly. Ensure the subfloor and surrounding surface meet installation tolerances and safety requirements.
  • 2. Power down any circuits connected to the floor box area and remove any existing lid or cover that may interfere with the new plate. Clean the opening to remove dust and debris that could affect seating alignment.
  • 3. Align the Ratchet-Pro duplex cover plate with the floor box opening, making sure the outlet cutouts and ports line up with the intended service outlets. Begin seating the plate by engaging the ratchet mechanism, which should progressively pull the plate into a flush position as it engages the mounting surface.
  • 4. Tighten or adjust the ratchet as specified by the manufacturer to achieve a firm, even seating without over-tightening, which could damage the plate or the floor box. Confirm that the flip lids operate freely and close flush against the plate when not in use.
  • 5. Reconnect any service connections and restore power, then test each outlet, port, or connector to verify proper operation. Confirm that the lids open and close smoothly and that there is no interference with surrounding floor materials or adjacent hardware.
