Southwire RH5/N/IC/AT-28 5 Inch Recessed Housing Ic Rated

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE RH5/N/IC/AT-28 is a 5-inch line voltage recessed lighting housing designed for new construction installations. This IC-rated fixture is built for direct insulation contact, making it compliant with local building codes in thermally insulated ceilings. The housing accommodates a wide range of standard 5-inch recessed trims, giving electricians flexibility to match existing decor or project specifications. It is suitable for both residential and commercial applications where a new construction rough-in housing is required prior to drywall installation.

This housing is intended for new construction framing situations where the fixture is installed before ceiling materials are in place. The IC rating allows it to be safely covered by insulation without creating a fire hazard, making it appropriate for conditioned attic spaces and well-insulated residential ceilings. The 5-inch diameter opening is compatible with a broad selection of trims and lamp types typically used in recessed lighting layouts across living spaces, hallways, and commercial interiors.
