Wiremold RC3 Multi-Service Poke-Thru Assembly, Black
The Wiremold RC3 Multi-Service Poke-Thru Assembly in black delivers a premium, ready-to-install solution for clean, organized floor access to power, data, and other services. This assembled unit comes prewired with a 20A duplex receptacle and can be configured as a standard duplex or an isolated-ground outlet to protect sensitive equipment. Designed for modern commercial interiors, RC3 blends dependable electrical performance with a sleek, floor-level profile that vanishes into your décor while still delivering convenient access to essential services where people work, learn, and collaborate. Whether you’re outfitting conference rooms, reception areas, classrooms, or hospitality spaces, RC3 helps you achieve a professional look with reliable, flexible functionality.
- Prewired 20A duplex receptacle with flexible wiring options: The RC3 arrives as an assembled unit with a ready-to-wire 20A duplex receptacle. It can be wired as a standard duplex for everyday power needs or configured as an isolated-ground receptacle to minimize electrical noise for sensitive equipment. This dual capability streamlines installation, reduces on-site wiring steps, and supports code-compliant setups without the need for aftermarket adapters or field modifications.
- Finishes and color-matched slide covers for a coordinated look: Flanges are available in painted gray (GY), black (BK), ivory (VY) or brushed metal finishes in aluminum (AL) and brass (BS). Slide covers match the painted flange colors—gray, black, and ivory—so you can tailor the RC3 to fit your space, whether it’s a high-contrast, contemporary setting or a softer, neutral palette. The combination of black, gray, ivory, aluminum, and brass finishes gives you broad design versatility across reception desks, conference rooms, and public lobbies.
- Multi-service poke-thru design for versatile floor access: The RC3 is engineered to provide a single, clean access point for multiple services through a compact floor opening. It supports power and additional services such as data and AV lines, reducing clutter and protecting cables from foot traffic. This makes it ideal for modern work environments, classrooms, and hospitality venues where organizations require flexible configurations that can adapt to evolving technology needs without disruptive renovations.
- Durable construction built for high-traffic environments: The RC3 combines robust materials with precise fabrication to withstand daily use in busy commercial areas. Its sturdy flange, slide-cover system, and integrated receptacle housing resist impact and wear, while the design keeps wires organized and protected. The assembly is built to hold up under heavy foot traffic, frequent cleaning, and routine rearrangements of furniture and equipment, ensuring long-lasting performance in office towers, campuses, and public spaces.
- Easy installation with flexible wiring and modular options: This ready-to-install unit reduces on-site complexity. With a straightforward wiring approach, electricians can connect the RC3 to the appropriate branch circuit, and the isolated-ground option can be engaged when needed. The modular nature of the poke-thru assembly allows for future upgrades or the addition of data and AV ports as your workspace evolves, preserving value and minimizing future disruption.

How to install Wiremold RC3 Multi-Service Poke-Thru Assembly
The RC3 is designed to streamline installation while delivering dependable service. Follow these general steps to install the unit in a compliant, efficient manner. Always observe local electrical codes and best-practice guidelines, and consult the product’s installation instructions for precise dimensions, cutouts, and mounting details.
- Plan and prepare: Choose a suitable location with an accessible floor cutout. Verify that the chosen site complies with local codes and does not interfere with structural elements. Confirm that the floor material can accommodate the RC3’s flange and cover geometry for a flush finish.
- Shut off power and inspect wiring: Before handling any wiring, shut off the power to the circuit and verify no voltage is present. Inspect conductors to ensure they are in good condition and sized appropriately for a 20A circuit, following applicable electrical standards.
- Install the floor opening and mount the unit: Create the floor opening according to the RC3’s cutout specification. Place the poke-thru assembly into the opening and align it with mounting surfaces. Secure the unit using the provided mounting hardware and ensure the assembly sits flush with the finished floor for a seamless look.
- Connect the receptacle and optional isolated-ground configuration: Wire the prewired 20A duplex receptacle per the project’s electrical design. If isolated-ground operation is required, connect the receptacle as an isolated-ground device in accordance with electrical codes and labeling requirements. Double-check all connections for integrity and correct polarity.
- Attach flanges and slide covers: Choose the appropriate flange finish to match the interior décor, then attach the flange to the unit. Install the slide covers in the matching color to complete the concealed, streamlined appearance. Ensure all fasteners are secure and that the covers slide smoothly without binding.
- Test and finalize: Restore power and perform a functional test of the receptacle and any data/AV ports if installed. Confirm ground continuity and verify that the isolated-ground configuration (if used) provides proper isolation. Clean the area and review the surrounding flooring to ensure a professional, long-lasting installation.
