+description: >
+ When to use: Specifying in-floor power and low-voltage service assemblies for
+ commercial and institutional spaces where overhead distribution cannot reach
+ mid-floor workstations - preset and adjustable concrete floor boxes in
+ slab-on-grade and elevated cast-in-place decks, fire-rated and non-fire-rated
+ poke-through devices penetrating rated concrete floor-ceiling assemblies, and
+ the covers, service fittings, and modular inserts that serve power, data,
+ voice, and audiovisual outlets in offices, conference rooms, ballrooms,
+ classrooms, retail concourses, and transportation terminals (new construction
+ and interior fit-out).
+ Not intended for: Wall-mounted or above-floor receptacles, switches, and
+ device plates (sync/wiring-devices); the conduit, raceway, and conductor-fill
+ feeding the boxes (sync/raceways-and-conduit); horizontal cabling pathways and
+ telecom outlet modules placed inside the box (sync/structured-cabling, which
+ owns cable and connector selection while this standard owns only the enclosure
+ and service fitting); raised-access-floor pedestal and service-pole systems
+ (sync/raised-access-flooring); under-slab vapor barriers and slab preparation
+ (sync/vapor-barriers-under-slab); construction and firestopping of the rated
+ floor-ceiling assembly itself (sync/fire-rated-wall-and-floor-assemblies);
+ embedded snow-melt cable (sync/snow-melt-systems); and non-electrical concrete
+ embeds and sleeves set before the pour (sync/concrete-accessories).

+
+# Scope {toc}
+
+## This standard governs the selection, specification, and installation of in-floor electrical and low-voltage service assemblies for commercial and institutional occupancies. {note}
+
+## The assemblies covered fall into three families that differ fundamentally in how and when they are set into the floor: {note}
+
+- **Preset (pour-in-place) concrete floor boxes** - set in the formwork before concrete is placed, with the box body cast permanently into the slab.
+- **Adjustable concrete floor boxes** - set with a leveling collar that allows vertical adjustment after the pour to meet finish-floor elevation.
+- **Poke-through devices** - installed by core-drilling a completed slab and inserting a listed assembly that penetrates the floor-ceiling structure from above.
+
+## Covered services include power, data, voice, and audiovisual outlets delivered through covers, service fittings, and modular inserts in single-service through multi-service housings. {note}
+
+## This standard applies to new construction and interior fit-out in Type I through Type V construction. {note}
+
+## The enclosure and service fitting are within this standard; the cable, connector, and pathway routed to it are not. {note}
+
+## The following scopes are excluded from this standard: wall-mounted and above-floor devices, raceway and cabling, raised-access-floor systems, under-slab vapor barriers, the rated floor-ceiling assembly itself, snow-melt cable, and non-electrical concrete embeds - each covered by its own standard. {note}
+
+- Wall-mounted and above-floor receptacles, switches, GFCI devices, and device plates are specified in [[sync/wiring-devices]].
+- Conduit, raceway, wireway, and conductor-fill calculations feeding the boxes are specified in [[sync/raceways-and-conduit]].
+- Horizontal cabling, telecommunications outlet modules, and the cable and connector hardware placed inside a floor box are specified in [[sync/structured-cabling]]; this standard sets only the number and type of insert positions the enclosure provides.
+- Raised-access-floor pedestal systems and their service outlet poles are specified in [[sync/raised-access-flooring]]; poke-through devices are not used in raised-access-floor systems.
+- Under-slab vapor barriers and slab preparation beneath floor boxes are specified in [[sync/vapor-barriers-under-slab]].
+- Construction and firestopping of the fire-resistance-rated floor-ceiling assembly itself - concrete topping, spray fireproofing, and penetration firestopping of other trades - are specified in [[sync/fire-rated-wall-and-floor-assemblies]].
+- Snow-melt heating cable embedded in concrete slabs is specified in [[sync/snow-melt-systems]].
+- Non-electrical concrete embeds, accessories, and sleeves set before the pour are specified in [[sync/concrete-accessories]].

+
+# Quality Assurance {toc}
+
+## Floor boxes must be listed specifically for floor installation, not merely as general outlet boxes. {note}
+
+## A box that is merely listed as a general outlet box does not satisfy NEC 314.27(C); the floor-specific listing covers the crush load, moisture exposure, and cover-operation conditions unique to in-floor service. The clauses below carry the obligations. {note}
+
+### Each floor box shall be listed specifically for floor installation to UL 514A (metallic) or UL 514C (nonmetallic) as applicable, and shall bear the listing mark.
+
+### Each fire-rated poke-through device shall be UL Classified under category CEYY for fire resistance and shall bear the classification mark identifying the assembly design number for which it is classified.
+
+### The Contractor shall not substitute a device classified for a different hourly rating or a different floor-ceiling assembly construction than the assembly in which it is installed.
+
+## Poke-through devices are UL Classified, not UL Listed. {note}
+
+## Poke-through fire-resistance ratings come from the UL CEYY classification program, which evaluates the device against a specific floor-ceiling assembly design number under UL 263 / ASTM E119, not from the general UL Listing mark. Specification text and submittals shall therefore use the phrase "UL Classified" for the fire rating, and the authoritative reference for valid assembly design numbers is the UL Fire Resistance Directory. {note}
+
+### The installer shall be experienced in setting concrete floor boxes and core-drilled poke-through devices.
+
+### The installer shall coordinate with the concrete and structural trades before layout is issued for construction.
+
+# Environmental and Service Conditions {toc}
+
+## Location class determines the cover and body construction. {note}
+
+## Interior dry-location boxes use a standard flush lid; slab-on-grade and other wet or damp locations require a gasketed, waterproof cover and a corrosion-resistant body. A standard interior flush-lid box is not interchangeable with a gasketed slab-on-grade box, and "weatherproof" is not a substitute for a product specifically rated for the exposure present. {note}
+
+### Boxes installed in damp or wet locations, including slab-on-grade in contact with grade moisture, shall be provided with a gasketed waterproof cover and a corrosion-resistant body in accordance with NEC 314.27(C).
+
+```datasheet
+label: Location Class
+type: radio
+options:
+ - Interior dry location (elevated deck, conditioned space)
+ - Slab-on-grade, damp - gasketed cover
+ - Wet location - gasketed waterproof cover
+default: Interior dry location (elevated deck, conditioned space)
+```
+
+## Cover finish and assembly ratings for floor-cleaning equipment are governed by NEC 406.4(G). {note}
+
+### Floor receptacle assemblies shall permit operation of floor-cleaning equipment without damage to the receptacle or cover, in accordance with NEC 406.4(G).
+
+### Cover assemblies in accessible routes shall comply with ADA Standards §302: openings in the cover surface shall not exceed 1/2 inch (13 mm) in any one direction, and carpet trim rings shall prevent edge uplift.
+
+### Cover assemblies in means of egress shall not create a tripping hazard and shall comply with NFPA 101 §7.5 surface-discontinuity limits.
+
+# Device Type and Configuration {toc}
+
+## The device type is the first and most consequential selection because it dictates when in the construction sequence the assembly is set. {note}
+
+## A preset box must be located before the pour and cannot move afterward; an adjustable box tolerates finish-elevation variation; a poke-through is installed last by core-drilling a finished slab and is the only option for retrofit into an existing slab. The selection below drives the rest of the configuration. {note}
+
+```datasheet
+label: Floor Box Type
+type: radio
+options:
+ - Concrete preset (pour-in-place, set before pour)
+ - Adjustable concrete box (leveling collar, set after pour)

+default: Concrete preset (pour-in-place, set before pour)
+```
+
+## The services served determine housing size, gang capacity, and insert provisions. {note}
+
+### Multi-service housings shall maintain the manufacturer's required separation between power and low-voltage compartments to limit crosstalk and comply with the device listing.

+ - Nonmetallic (for nonmetallic raceway systems)
+default: Cast iron (heavy commercial)
+```
+
+## Adjustable boxes provide a defined range of vertical travel to absorb finish-floor tolerance. {note}
+
+## The leveling collar lets the cover plane be brought flush after the slab is poured and the floor finish thickness is known, which is the principal reason to choose an adjustable box over a preset box. {note}
+
+### Adjustable boxes shall provide vertical adjustment to set the cover flush with the finished floor.

+
+# Cover, Finish, and Service Head {toc}
+
+## The cover finish, profile, and floor-finish insert determine how the device reads in the finished floor. {note}
+
+## A recessed lid accepts a tile, terrazzo, or carpet insert so the device disappears into the floor finish; a flush metal lid is exposed. The insert recess depth must match the floor-finish material thickness, and carpet locations require a carpet flange so the carpet edge does not fray at the opening. {note}
+
+### Recessed cover assemblies shall be provided with a floor-finish insert recess matched to the specified floor-finish material thickness.
+
+### Carpet-finished locations shall be provided with a carpet flange or trim ring; carpet flanges shall not be assumed to be included with the standard box.

+
+## The service-head style shall be specified explicitly because installer defaults vary by region. {note}
+
+## A surface-style service head sits above the slab; a fully recessed (flush) assembly keeps the device below the finish-floor plane. Leaving this unstated risks an above-floor service head where a flush finish was required. {note}

+# Poke-Through Devices {toc}
+
+## Poke-through devices penetrate a completed slab and, in a rated assembly, are penetrations of a fire-resistance-rated floor-ceiling assembly governed by IBC §714. {note}
+
+## Because the device is installed by core-drilling a finished slab, it is the right tool for retrofit and for locations the pour-in-place layout missed. When the floor-ceiling assembly is fire-rated, the device is a penetration of that rated assembly and must be a listed/classified fire-rated penetration under IBC §714, classified for the exact assembly and hourly rating. {note}
+
+### A poke-through device installed in a fire-resistance-rated floor-ceiling assembly shall be UL Classified for fire resistance and tested per UL 263 / ASTM E119 for that assembly, in accordance with IBC §714.
+
+### The fire rating of the poke-through device shall match the UL Fire Resistance Directory assembly design number for the specific floor-ceiling assembly in which it is installed.
+
+### A fire-rated poke-through device shall not exceed 325°F (163°C) temperature rise on the unexposed face under the UL CEYY classification fire test.
+
+### Fire-rated poke-through devices shall be provided with the intumescent collar or firestop components required by the device classification.
+
+## The fire-rating selection is dictated by the floor-ceiling assembly's documented hourly rating, never an assumption. {note}
+
+## The 2-hour rating is the 80% case for a typical office floor-ceiling assembly, but the value is dictated by the assembly the structural and architectural documents specify, not by convention. {note}

+
+## Core-drill diameter is selected for the service density of the device. {note}
+
+## A 4-inch nominal core is the default for standard single- and dual-service poke-throughs in open offices; 6-inch serves heavy multi-service devices; 10-inch serves large conference and audiovisual assemblies. The core diameter shall be coordinated with the device's installation instructions. {note}

+```
+
+## Poke-through density and spacing are limited by the device listing, not by the NEC. {note}
+
+## The manufacturer's UL listing limits the number of poke-through units to a maximum of one per 65 sq ft of floor area and requires a minimum 24 inches (610 mm) center-to-center spacing between units. These are listing limitations and are frequently overlooked on dense open-plan furniture layouts; verify the exact figures with each manufacturer's listing because they vary by product. {note}
+
+### The number of poke-through units shall not exceed the manufacturer's listed density limit of one unit per 65 sq ft (6.0 m²) of floor area, or the device's published limit if more restrictive.
+
+### Poke-through units shall be spaced not less than 24 inches (610 mm) on center, or the device's published minimum if greater.
+
+# Box Fill and Raceway Entry {toc}
+
+## Box fill shall be calculated for every floor box so the conductor count does not exceed the listed box volume. {note}
+
+## Box volume and conductor fill are governed by NEC Article 314 and Chapter 9, Table 1. The raceway feeding the box is specified in [[sync/raceways-and-conduit]]; this section sets only the hub provisions and the fill obligation at the box itself. {note}

+## Coordination of device locations with the structural and MEP designs precedes layout. {note}
+
+## The most damaging field errors on floor boxes are coordination failures - coring through post-tensioning tendons, setting boxes at the wrong elevation, or feeding boxes from below with no clear conduit path. These are addressed by sequencing the coordination before the layout is released, as the clauses below require. {note}
+
+### Core-drill locations for poke-through devices shall be reviewed against the structural and post-tensioning drawings by the Structural Engineer of Record before layout is issued for construction.
+
