Eaton BA12 Electrical Box T-bar Hanger 24 Inch Span

Product Description

The EATON BA12 is an electrical box T-bar fastener designed for use with acoustical tee and T-bar ceiling grid systems. It provides a secure mounting point for electrical boxes in drop ceiling installations, supporting a 20 lb load capacity at a 24 inch box hanger span. The fastener measures 1 inch in height, 1 inch in length, and 1 inch in width, making it a compact solution for ceiling grid work. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors install this hardware during rough-in and finish work in commercial and light commercial ceiling assemblies.

The BA12 is intended for drop ceiling environments where electrical boxes must be suspended from or anchored to acoustical tee bar grid members. Typical applications include office build-outs, retail spaces, schools, and any commercial or light commercial facility using a standard suspended ceiling grid. The part addresses the common need to fasten electrical enclosures directly to T-bar ceiling runners without additional framing or blocking.
