Nvent 517B Adjustable Bar Hanger Set 26 Inch

Product Description

The NVENT 517B is an adjustable bar hanger set designed for mounting electrical boxes and enclosures between joists or studs in residential and light commercial construction. The hanger adjusts to span framing cavities, providing a secure, rigid mounting point for outlet boxes, junction boxes, and similar enclosures. It is sized for a 26-inch span, making it well suited for standard and wider framing layouts. Electricians and electrical contractors typically install this hardware during rough-in and retrofit work where direct attachment to framing is not practical.

The NVENT 517B is used in residential new construction and remodel applications where ceiling or wall boxes must be positioned between framing members. It fits situations where the installer needs a stable, adjustable support without direct wood or metal stud attachment. The 26-inch adjustable range accommodates a variety of joist and stud spacing configurations commonly encountered in the field.

Key Features

• Adjustable design spans up to 26 inches between framing members
• Provides rigid, stable mounting point for electrical boxes and enclosures
• Suited for both new construction rough-in and retrofit installations
• Eliminates the need for direct attachment to framing lumber or metal studs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard install component for electrical box mounting applications in residential and light commercial framing assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC requirements for box support and securing. Power must be off and circuits de-energized before working in any live panel or junction box area. The bar hanger should be seated firmly against framing before the electrical box is attached to ensure a stable, code-compliant mount. Do not exceed the box weight rating specified by the box manufacturer when using this hanger.
