Abb ss1-tb Far-side Box Support Metal Stud

Product Description

The ABB ss1-tb is a far-side box support bracket designed for securing electrical boxes in metal stud wall assemblies. Fabricated from steel with a silver finish, it provides a stable mounting surface on the far side of the stud cavity, keeping boxes flush and secure during rough-in and finish work. Compatible with 2-1/2 inch, 3-1/2 inch, and 4 inch metal stud depths, this bracket accommodates the most common framing dimensions found in light commercial and residential construction. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors typically install this component during the rough-in phase of a project.

This bracket is suited for new construction and retrofit applications where electrical boxes must be mounted in metal stud partition walls. It is commonly used in light commercial office buildouts, hotels, and multi-family residential projects where metal framing is standard. The three supported stud depths give installers flexibility across different wall assembly specifications without requiring multiple bracket types on the same job.
