Floor box receptacle in shag carpet

[smallfish]

Is there a floor box receptacle for other than wood floors and commercial 3/8 inch thick carpet installations?
To be more exact, what floor box receptacle can be used with a thicker carpet than a 3/8 inch thick carpet?
Thanks

I use the standard floor receptacle.

Any good floor box will adjust to whatever floor finish is being installed carpert or vinal or tile.

When dealing with carpets I just make sure to order a carpet flange.

That looks huge. Why use it if you don't need it?

It also looks like a 2 gang opening. How does this work Bob?

Because in the places I work I would give the cover you posted about a day before it was bent, broken, or missing.

Now true enough, considering this is about Shag carpet I doubt it is commercial but the carpet flange I posted would keep the shag back from the receptacle nicely.
