Abstract
A cover assembly for an in-floor fitting of the type having an interior compartment which is accessible through an opening in the surface of the floor includes a bracket and a pair of access doors. The bracket is connectable to the fitting and defines an access opening which aligns with the floor opening. The access doors are pivotally connected to the mounting bracket for selectively exposing the access opening. When the doors are at their closed position, they define a cable opening between their free ends. The cable opening is sized to permit at least one cable to pass between the doors and into the interior compartment of the fitting. The access doors carry compressible seal members in their free ends which abut with one another when the doors are moved to their closed position so as to seal the cable opening around any cables passing therethrough. Egress covers are slidably connected to the access doors for selectively covering and exposing the cable opening.
