Technical Details
Construction: 󰾬󰾬
• Double wall IC rated for direct contact with insulation, for use in IC or non-IC conditions.
• Housing adjusts in frame to accommodate up to 1 1/4" ceiling thickness.
• Airtight housing with gasket to restrict airflow in accordance with ASTM E-283 air-tight requirements.
• Steel housing for greater heat dissipation. Stamped galvanized steel frame.
Installation: Designed for ceiling plenums where 2x6 joists or taller joists are used. High strength hanger bars
can easilty be nailed to joists. Maximum hole cutout is 4 1/4". Suitable for T-grid and drop ceiling applications.
See installation sheet for detailed information.
Junction Box: Positioned to accommodate straight conduit runs. Seven 1/2" trade size conduit knockouts, four
3/4" knockouts with pry-out knockout slots. 4 Romex pryouts with strain relief.
Hanger Bars: Pre-installed hanger bars with True Nail facilitate easy installation in regular lumber,
engineered lumber, and laminated beams. Integral T-bar slots for easy installation in T-bars. Spans up to 24"
and can be repositioned 90°. Score lines allow for tool-free hanger bar size reduction. Integral leveling flange
allows for single-person installation while aligning the housings with the joists.
