An island sofa or a desk in the middle of a room leaves cords stretched across the floor unless there's an outlet under it. The Rack-A-Tiers VRHC.AL is a rectangular plastic floor box kit for residential wood floors, fully assembled with an aluminum-finish hinged cover and a 15 A tamper-resistant receptacle already included. It installs from above into a cut opening and secures to the subfloor with wing screws.
Why electricians pick it
- Complete kit: floor box, hinged aluminum-finish cover and 15 A TR receptacle.
- ETLC listed for floor installation; conforms to UL 514C.
- Wing screws clamp the box to the subfloor, so no joist mounting is needed.
- 22.5 cu in interior for the receptacle and conductors.
- Hinged lid lets a cord stay plugged in while the cover closes over it.

Pro tip from the counter
Before cutting the 2-9/16 x 4-5/16 in opening, drill a small pilot hole and check from the basement or ceiling below that you're clear of joists, ductwork and heating pipes. The box hangs 3-5/8 in below the floor surface, so it needs that clear space under the subfloor.
Best for: living rooms with floating furniture, home offices, dining room tables, renovations on wood subfloors
