Electrical Types: Help Finding a Replacement Floor Outlet Cover
Posted by lnomm34 on 1/30/17 at 9:37 am00
So, I'm an idiot (understatement and stating the obvious).
We replaced our floors recently and have two single receptacle floor outlets in our living room. I tossed the outlet covers when I pulled up the old floors thinking I'd find new ones to replace them. Now I'm having a very difficult time finding the correct size/manufacturer to replace the covers.
I've contacted Thomas&Betts/Steel City, Hubbell, and Walker/Wiremold and none of these recognize the outlet box as theirs.
So now I'm trying to figure out my next options. It's a concrete slab with hardwood on top. Can I somehow remove the old box, make the hole bigger, and rewire with a newer/larger box that I can source locally?
Any other options??

Raised house or slab?
Round or rectangular box/cover?
Single receptacle usually means a rectangular cover and also it's in a raised home.
If so, replace all of it if you're not sure.
Sorry, just read the rest, as others have said pics would be nice.

Sorry. Slab foundation. See pic below.
At this point, I'm at wits end. I'll do whatever I need to do to get this shite back together properly. I don't care bigger diameter? Deeper?

Yeah, I remember them. Should have held on to the cover.
The receptacle, you might be able to use one from the new in wood set ups cause they are recessed in. The screw on brass cover, no idea. Go into and old building and help yourself.
