A cover assembly is provided for preventing water infiltration into an in- floor receptacle fitting, such as a poke-thru fitting. The cover assembly includes a trim flange which overlies the fitting and is adapted to support at least one receptacle within the fitting. A cover plate is mounted on the trim flange includes access doors for selectively covering and exposing the receptacles. A first seal member is interposed between the cover plate and the trim flange for sealing against water infiltration therebetween. The first seal may be in the form of a planar gasket or O-ring. A second seal, in the form of at least one compressible gasket, extends around the perimeter of the floor opening and is adapted to be compressed between the trim flange and the surface of the floor. The cover plate may also include top and bottom portions and a third seal member interposed between the top and bottom portions.

L'invention concerne un ensemble couvercle destiné à empêcher les infiltrations d'eau dans un élément de raccordement encastré dans le sol, tel qu'un ensemble prise de sol. Cet ensemble couvercle comprend un bord de garniture recouvrant l'ensemble prise et permettant de supporter au moins une prise femelle à l'intérieur dudit ensemble prise. Une plaque de recouvrement est montée sur le bord de garniture et comporte des trappes d'accès permettant de recouvrir et de découvrir sélectivement les prises femelles. Un premier élément d'étanchéité est intercalé entre la plaque de recouvrement et le bord de garniture en vue d'y assurer une étanchéité contre les infiltrations d'eau. Ce premier élément d'étanchéité peut se présenter sous la forme d'un joint plan ou d'un anneau circulaire. Un second élément d'étanchéité se présentant sous la forme d'au moins un joint compressible se prolonge autour du périmètre de l'ouverture du plancher et peut être comprimé entre le bord de garniture et la surface du plancher. La plaque de recouvrement peut également comprendre des parties supérieure et inférieure ainsi qu'un troisième élément d'étanchéité intercalé entre lesdites parties supérieure et inférieure.
