RACO 6239NI Floor Kit with Recessed Duplex 15A TR Device and Adjustable Steel Box, 1-Gang, Nickel

Put this in the carpeted hardwood floor for a powered love seat. Pretty easy install after figuring out where the hole should go and not hit any floor joints/ etc. Take your time and plan it out. Drill a small hole in the center of the expected spot first to make sure everything will line up. I had no direct access underneath, so I had to fish the wire through. Appears to be well made and fits well. Face Plate is beefy too.

I had someone help install because I’m no comfortable dealing with electricity. The box feels sturdy and well made and came with everything you needed to install it. I also think it compliments the wood floor; even though It will be covered up by our couch. Instruction were easy to follow. The only two draw back I have are. 1. The hinge is difficult to get open for the first time. I had to read the comments from others so that I didn’t feel like I was going to break it. 2. I would prefer it didn’t come with the actual electrical plug because that was a waste for me. As you can see by the picture I swapped it out for my own Leviton smart plug. I’m not going to take away because of this because most folks want turn key.

I installed this into a hardwood floor. The nice thing about this it the box accepts any standard box receptacle, like electrical, HDMI, ethernet, usb jacks, etc. Just like in a box in a wall. I used a drill at the four corners and then a jigsaw. Worked fine. finished the various cutouts for the nuts and tabs with a chisel. Everything fit tight but well. Everything screwed in a it looks great. I used this to run a cat 7 ethernet cable through the floor into the basement to connect to a high speed router I have mounted under the steps in the approximate center of our house. It is well made. The box is mounted to the floor with four wood screws and then you mount the cover plate over this with the rubber foam seal underneath on top of that with four more wood screws that match the finish that you selected for your install. I predrilled a small hole to help make sure the screws ran straight and true. Works well. I used flat Cat 7 cable so I just ran it out under the rubber insert and it still looks good. If I need to make another floor mounted box install, I will use this if it will work with what I want to do.

I like how well it fits and looks. The only thing that prevents me from giving the device 5 stars is that they shipped it with only two screws. Now I have to match the screws which is not easy done. It was nice not to have to go out and find all the pieces to get the job done. Except for the screws!! A note the plug of the power strip that plugged in stuck out of the slot. I also liked the locking top plate that keeps the plugs trapped.

This was used to replace 30+ year old outlets on a stage. The outlet is usually used under a lectern, and a narrow dc power supply fits nicely for a light (though the cover won't close with it plugged in). The closing cover does work well and stays shut when standard cords are used. The main reason we went with this model was its use of a decora style outlet. As I mentioned, we were replacing an older outlet that was a standard outlet within 2 feet of a baptistry pool. It was very easy to change out the outlet that this cover came with to a GFCI outlet to make it safer for floor use. The only downside I had was because both the outlet box and the cover need to fit into the hole, there is almost no play on the measurements if you are off. The screws that hold the box to the floor come very close to the edge of the hole so it is important to cut the hole exactly as specified.

Easy install and as described!

Difficult to install

The latch that holds the cover closed is really REALLY TIGHT! There is a slot for a screwdriver to pop it open but when you first get it out of the box the latch is so tight that you will damage the cover prying it open. I called Raco and Garrett explained to that the latch should be oiled a tiny bit and cycled by hand (uninstalled) many times to reduce the force needed to open the cover. If you turn the cover over and put your thumb(s) on the underside and press really hard you can pop it open. I have arthritis so I had to tap it with a screwdriver and hammer to get it open the first time. I then oiled it and was able to open and close it with my weak old hands. After about 20 cycles it was much easier to open and the prying method worked easily then. They’re really nice boxes and the covers are really well made and look great when installed.
