Eaton BA-4-9 Acoustical Tee T-bar Twist Fastener Clip

Product Description

The EATON BA-4-9 is an acoustical tee and T-bar twist fastener clip from the B-Line series, designed to secure suspended ceiling grid components to overhead structure. The clip measures 1 inch in height, 1 inch in length, and 1 inch in width, with a stud length of 0.63 inches and a 0.56-inch twist fastener engagement. Weighing just 0.032 pounds, it delivers a rated load capacity of 40 pounds. Electricians and ceiling contractors use this type of fastener when routing conduit, cable tray, or other trade components through suspended acoustical ceiling systems.

The BA-4-9 is suited for commercial and light industrial suspended ceiling applications where acoustical tee or T-bar grid systems are already in place. It is used in new construction and retrofit projects requiring a secure, low-profile attachment point within a drop ceiling grid. The twist-lock design allows for fast field installation without additional hardware. It is finished in black paint for a low-visibility appearance in ceiling grid applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by electricians or ceiling contractors working within suspended acoustical ceiling systems. Before installing or modifying ceiling grid components, de-energize any circuits routed through the ceiling space in accordance with NFPA 70 (NEC) requirements. Confirm the grid rail is properly seated and level before engaging the twist fastener to ensure full load transfer. Do not exceed the rated 40-pound load capacity per fastener.
