Abb SS-1-TB Far-side Box Support Bracket Metal Stud

Product Description

The ABB SS-1-TB is a far-side box support bracket designed to secure electrical boxes within metal stud wall assemblies. It provides a stable mounting point for outlet boxes, switch boxes, and similar enclosures when the installer must support the box from the far side of the stud cavity. The SS-1-TB accommodates three common metal stud depths: 2.5 inches, 3.5 inches, and 4 inches, making it a versatile option across a range of light commercial and residential framing applications. Electricians rely on this type of hardware to maintain code-compliant box positioning before drywall is applied.

This bracket is suited for new construction and retrofit electrical work in metal stud framing. It is commonly installed in interior partition walls where standard bracket mounting is not accessible from the near side. The SS-1-TB is appropriate for both residential and light commercial projects where metal stud framing is used in place of wood.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed electrician. Shut off all power to the circuit before positioning or adjusting any electrical box within the stud cavity.
