In-use water-tight coupler for an electrical floor box

An electrical floor box configured to be electrically connected to an electrical cable, the electrical cable including a cable terminal, the electrical floor box comprising:

• a surface plate oriented parallel to a floor surface, the surface plate including a first aperture and a second aperture;
• a cover removably coupled to the surface plate to selectively cover one of the first and second apertures of the surface plate;
• an electrical connector positioned in the first aperture of the surface plate, the electrical connector including a connector terminal that is configured to engage the cable terminal to provide an electrical connection therebetween;
• and
• a sealing member positioned between the electrical connector and the first aperture of the surface plate, the sealing member configured to engage a portion of the electrical cable to provide a water-tight seal between the electrical cable and the connector terminal while the electrical cable is coupled to the electrical connector.

An electrical box configured to be electrically connected to an electrical cable, the electrical cable including a cable terminal, the electrical box comprising:

• a first housing including a first top surface and an open interior portion, the first top surface oriented parallel to a floor surface such that a portion of the first housing extends below the floor surface;
• a second housing including a second top surface oriented parallel to the first top surface such that the second housing is received within the open interior portion of the first housing;
• a grate coupled to the first and second housings, the grate providing communication between the floor surface and the open interior portion of the first housing;
• an electrical connector coupled to the second housing, the electrical connector including a connector terminal that is configured to engage the cable terminal to provide an electrical connection therebetween;
• and
• a sealing member positioned between the electrical connector and the second housing providing a water-tight seal when the electrical cable is coupled to the electrical connector.
