how to install Wiremold RFB9 and RFB11 Series Carpet Cover Assembly

• Prepare the installation area. Ensure the carpeted surface is clean and free of debris. Verify the carpet cut-out area aligns with the underlying floor opening and that there is adequate clearance for the cover to sit flush once installed.
• Position the carpet cut-out. Place the carpet cut-out area over the floor opening so that the opening plates align with the boundaries of the floor cavity. Confirm that the cover will sit level and that the carpet will drape evenly without bunching.
• Align with mounting points. Align the cover assembly with the predesigned mounting points on the floor or wall, depending on your specific installation scenario within the RFB9/RFB11 system.
• Secure the cover. Use the appropriate fasteners recommended for carpet installations. Tighten securely to prevent movement while avoiding over-tightening that could deform the cover or damage the carpet edge.
• Check fit and function. Confirm the cover sits flush, with no gaps around the edges. Ensure the carpet cut-out remains visible and unobstructed so cables and access points are readily reachable.
• Perform a safety and usability check. Walk the area to verify there are no tripping hazards and that the cover remains stable under typical traffic conditions. If required, conduct a light cleaning to remove any installation dust or residues from the surface.
• Maintenance and periodic checks. Schedule routine inspections to ensure fasteners remain secure and the carpet edge continues to align with the cover—for continued safety and performance in busy facilities.
