Versatile Round Floor Box for Raised Floor and Wood Floor Applications



A recessed round floor box from Legrand/Wiremold provides a high level of functionality and flexibility in raised and wood floor applications. The Wiremold® CRFB Series floor box fits into a standard raised floor air diffuser opening, providing easy access to recessed devices. This floor box is also approved for use in wood floors, including elevated platforms, stages, and balconies.

The CRFB Series floor box features four separate compartments that can accommodate multiple combinations of power, communication, and audio/video services. A tunnel feature allows two of the compartments to be used for a single service, while the other two are used for different services. Thus, these boxes can be field configured or reconfigured to accommodate power only, communication only, audio/video only, or combinations in a single unit. Trade size 1/2", 3/4", 1-1/4", and 2" knockouts accommodate standard conduit.

Standard CRFB covers offer large wire/cable egress with a locking feature. These floor boxes also accept round 8" Evolution Series poke-thru covers. This increases the ability to match aesthetics throughout the building. Die-cast aluminum covers are available in black, gray, nickel, brass, and bronze painted finishes.

CRFB Series floor boxes are listed by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. to U.S. and
Canadian safety standards for raised floors and wood floors. They meet NEC Section 300-22 and are suitable for use in air handling spaces and raised floor plenums. They are manufactured in the United States and comply with all BAA (Buy American Act) and NAFTA (North American Free Trade Act) requirements.

Tamper-Resistant Plugmold® Strips


Legrand/Wiremold has introduced a new Plugmold® multi-outlet strip that integrates tamper-resistant receptacles into a low-profile unit that provides more access to power anywhere in the home. The Plugmold 2000TR Series™ Multi-outlet System employs patented internal shutters to prevent insertion of unwanted objects into the receptacle. It meets the requirements of 2008 NEC section 406.11, which requires tamper-resistant receptacles in dwelling units.

Until now, the tamper-resistant feature was available only in larger profile multi-outlet products. The thinner size of the Plugmold 2000TR Series meets all requirements without sacrificing style. Color options include ivory, gray, white, black and stainless steel and anodized aluminum finishes. Plugmold 2000TR Series Multi-outlet strips are available in steel or aluminum in standard 3' and 5' lengths with 6" outlet spacing.
