Eaton BA50 Acoustical Tee Box Hanger 50 Lb Pre-galvanized

Product Description

The EATON BA50 is a heavy-duty electrical box hanger designed for mounting electrical boxes to acoustical tee and T-bar ceiling grid systems. Built from pre-galvanized steel, this fastener supports up to 50 pounds without a dedicated dropwire and up to 70 pounds when a dedicated dropwire is used. Weighing just 0.043 pounds, it is a lightweight yet robust solution suited for electricians working in suspended ceiling environments. The BA50 is part of the B-Line series fastener lineup, engineered for reliable, code-compliant box support in commercial and light industrial installations.

The BA50 is intended for use in drop ceiling grid systems where electrical boxes must be secured to acoustical tee or T-bar grid members. This hanger is commonly installed in commercial office spaces, retail environments, and light industrial facilities where suspended ceilings are standard. Electricians use this hanger to comply with support requirements for electrical boxes that cannot rely solely on the ceiling grid for load-bearing support. It accommodates configurations both with and without a dedicated support dropwire, offering flexibility across a range of ceiling installation scenarios.

Key Features

• 50 lb load capacity without a dedicated dropwire
• 70 lb load capacity with a dedicated dropwire installed
• Pre-galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance
• Compatible with standard acoustical tee and T-bar ceiling grid systems
• Lightweight at 0.043 pounds for easy handling during overhead installation
• Part of the EATON B-Line series for consistent hardware compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style hanger for use with standard acoustical tee and T-bar suspended ceiling grid systems where electrical box support is required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for electrical box support and securing. De-energize all circuits in the work area before mounting or adjusting electrical boxes. Verify that the ceiling grid members are structurally sound and rated to support the combined load of the hanger, box, and any devices installed within the box. When load exceeds 50 pounds, a dedicated support dropwire must be installed to meet the 70 lb rated capacity.
