Orbit Industries BHA-16 Adjustable Bar Hanger 11-18 in

Product Description

The ORBIT INDUSTRIES BHA-16 is an adjustable bar hanger designed for mounting electrical boxes between ceiling joists or wall studs. It spans an adjustment range of 11 inches to 18 inches, giving electricians flexibility across varying framing layouts without the need for multiple bracket sizes. The hanger features notches along its length that accept self-tapping screws, allowing the electrical box to be secured firmly at the correct depth. This type of hanger is a standard rough-in component used in residential and light commercial electrical installations.

The BHA-16 is suited for new construction and retrofit applications where an electrical box must be positioned between framing members. It installs in ceiling joist bays for fixture boxes or horizontally between wall studs for device or junction boxes. The 11 to 18 inch adjustment range covers standard 12-inch and 16-inch on-center framing. ORBIT INDUSTRIES also offers the BHA-24 model for wider spans of 15-3/4 inches to 26 inches where greater reach is required.

• Notched design accepts self-tapping screws for secure box mounting
• Compatible with ceiling joist and wall stud installations

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed electrician following applicable NEC requirements. Power should be off and verified with a tester before working in any energized bay. The hanger is expanded to contact both framing members and locked in place before the electrical box is attached using self-tapping screws through the provided notches. Confirm box setback depth meets code requirements for the finished wall or ceiling surface before securing.
