Eaton BB224T Telescoping Box Mounting Bracket

Product Description

The EATON BB224T is a telescoping box mounting bracket from the B-Line series, designed to secure electrical outlet and junction boxes to metal wall studs. The bracket adjusts to accommodate metal stud spacing from 15.5 inches to 26 inches, making it versatile across a range of framing layouts. It supports boxes with depths of 1.5 inches, 2.13 inches, 2.5 inches, and 2.8 inches. Constructed from pre-galvanized metal, the BB224T resists corrosion in typical wall cavity conditions. Electricians and general contractors install this bracket during rough-in phases of commercial and residential construction where metal stud framing is used.

The BB224T is suited for metal stud wall construction in both residential and light commercial applications. It provides a stable mounting point for standard electrical boxes during rough-in work before drywall installation. The adjustable telescoping design eliminates the need for multiple bracket sizes on jobs with varying stud spacing. Installers working in new construction or renovation projects with metal framing will find this bracket compatible with commonly used box depths encountered in standard rough-in work.
