Product Description

The COOPER LIGHTING E7ICAT is a 6-inch recessed can housing designed for new construction ceiling installations. It carries an air-tight rating and is approved for use in both insulated and non-insulated ceilings, making it suitable for energy-code-compliant builds. The unit includes all nail bar hangers with a preinstalled nail and an integral T-grid clip for fast, secure positioning in framed or suspended ceiling assemblies. Quick-connect push-in wire nuts are included, and the hinged junction box with Slide-N-Side access simplifies wiring. This housing is cULus listed for damp and wet locations.

This housing is intended for residential and light commercial new construction applications where the ceiling cavity will be insulated or where air-sealing is required by energy code. The socket bracket adjusts to accommodate various trim styles and lamp designs, giving installers flexibility during finish-out. It ships in a package of 6 units, making it practical for tract or production builds where multiple cans are installed per job.
