Floor Boxes by Leviton Manufacturing

Floor boxes are not required by the NEC. However, they are often used to help meet receptacle spacing requirements, such as NEC 210.52(A), which states that no point along a wall line can be more than 6 feet from a receptacle. In open areas where wall outlets are not accessible, floor boxes can help satisfy this requirement. When installed, they must comply with NEC rules for listed floor boxes and applicable protection requirements.

Yes, many floor box solutions are designed for retrofit installations, including pop-up and poke-through styles. Installation methods depend on floor type and access (e.g., wood frame vs. concrete slab).

Not all floor boxes are waterproof; only those specifically rated for damp or wet locations are designed to handle moisture exposure. Some Leviton floor box covers meet scrub water tests or offer protection against water spray when closed.

Selection depends on floor type (concrete, wood, raised access), application (power, data, AV), and environmental conditions. You should also consider capacity, adjustability, and whether the installation is new construction or retrofit.

Yes, many floor boxes support both power and low voltage data/AV in the same enclosure. They often include internal dividers to separate and protect different wiring types.

Yes, there are floor boxes specifically designed for concrete pours, wood frame construction, and even raised access floors. Each type is engineered for proper installation and durability based on the flooring system.

A furniture feed floor box is designed to route cables directly from the floor into furniture like desks or conference tables. This allows for clean cable management and power/data access without exposed cords.

A pop-up floor box is a low-profile unit that stays concealed when not in use and pops up to provide access to outlets when needed. This design enhances aesthetics while maintaining convenient power access in open spaces.

Installation typically involves mounting the box into the floor (concrete pour or subfloor cutout), connecting conduit, and leveling the assembly. After flooring is finished, wiring devices and cover plates are installed according to manufacturer instructions.

A poke-through floor box routes power and data through a cored hole in a concrete slab to serve spaces below. It’s commonly used in multi-story buildings to connect floors without surface wiring.

Capacity depends on the box size and configuration, with options ranging from single receptacles to multi-gang power and data combinations. Many systems are modular to support different device layouts.

Only floor boxes specifically rated for wet or outdoor locations should be used outside. These products include sealed covers and are tested for water intrusion and environmental exposure.

Floor boxes can house electrical outlets, USB chargers, data ports, and AV connectors. Many systems are compatible with standard devices like Decora® receptacles and QuickPort inserts.
