Orbit Industries FS-456-EXT Far Side Support Extension

Product Description

The ORBIT INDUSTRIES FS-456-EXT is a far side support extension designed to provide additional back support for Orbit box mounting adapters. The extension clips directly into compatible adapters to expand the back support range, accommodating stud depths of 4 inches, 5.5 inches, or 6 inches. It is a low-profile hardware component used in electrical box rough-in work. Electricians and electrical contractors install this part during new construction or retrofit projects where standard adapter support does not reach the required stud depth.

The FS-456-EXT is suited for residential and light commercial electrical installations where electrical boxes must be secured at varying stud depths. It is designed for use with Orbit box mounting adapters and can be used across common framing configurations. The extension simplifies field adjustments by eliminating the need for additional tools during installation.

• Can be pre-installed to the adapter before rough-in or installed on-site in the field
