ABSTRACT:
An in-floor utility outlet for raised floor constructions and the like includes a base having a sidewall with a generally closed plan shape, and at least one opening or port to mount a utility outlet therein. A cover plate with a central aperture therethrough extends over the base sidewall to enclose utility lines associated with the outlet. An access cover is received in the central aperture of the cover plate flush with the same, and includes at least one aperture through which utility tap-in lines can be routed below the floor surface for connection with the utility outlets. A floor pan below the raised floor supports the base and the cover plate.
