Steel City H16S-82-3 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Steel City H16S-82-3 bracket used for?
It is a 16 inch horizontal mounting bracket for 5-square electrical boxes. The bracket spans between studs and carries the box, so the box position is set by the bracket rather than nailed directly to one stud face. Steel construction, and it is a box mounting accessory, not a box itself, so the enclosure is ordered separately.
2) Will a 16 inch bracket work on studs spaced 16 inches on center?
Yes, that is what the 16 inch length is for. Standard framing at 16 inches on center gives roughly 14-1/2 inches of clear bay, so the 16 inch bracket bridges stud face to stud face with bearing on each side and lets you slide the 5-square box anywhere along the bay for the device location you want.
3) Does the H16S-82-3 bracket come with knockouts for conduit?
No. The H16S-82-3 carries zero knockouts. It is purely a support bracket, so all conduit and cable entries come off the 5-square box mounted to it.
4) Can I use this bracket with a 4-square box instead of a 5-square?
The H16S-82-3 is specified as a 5-square bracket, so match it to a 5-square (4-11/16 inch) box. For 4-square (4 inch) boxes, order the bracket in the corresponding 4-square series rather than adapting this one.
5) How do I order the right Steel City bar bracket for a 5-square box?
Order by model number. This one is H16S-82-3, the 16 inch horizontal version for 5-square boxes, sold one per unit. The length in the designation is the span you need across the bay, so confirm your stud spacing before picking between bracket lengths.
