B-LINE BA50CAN – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How much weight can the B-Line BA50CAN box hanger support?
The BA50CAN hanger is rated for 5 lbs without a dropwire and 7 lbs with a dropwire. That covers a standard fixture box, a small luminaire, or a device box in a suspended ceiling, but anything heavier needs independent support back to the structure rather than the ceiling grid.
2) Is the BA50CAN hanger UL listed for use in commercial ceilings?
Yes, the B-Line BA50CAN carries UL/CUL listing, so it covers both US and Canadian installations. That matters on institutional and commercial jobs where the inspector wants listed support hardware for boxes in the ceiling plane.
3) Will the BA50CAN work in a drywall or hard-lid ceiling?
No. The BA50CAN is built for acoustical tee grid, so it needs a suspended ceiling tee to attach to. For a hard-lid or drywall ceiling you want a bar hanger or box support that fastens to joists or studs instead.
4) What is the BA50CAN actually used for on an electrical rough-in?
It is a heavy-duty electrical box hanger for acoustical tee ceiling grid. The electrician clips it to the tee and hangs the fixture or device box from it rather than strapping the box to the grid directly, which keeps the load on rated hardware and lets the box be positioned along the run.
5) Does the 7 lb rating with dropwire mean the dropwire is included?
The 7 lb figure applies when a dropwire is used with the hanger, and the dropwire is the extra support run up to structure. Plan on sourcing the wire and its structural attachment separately as part of the ceiling support package. Without that wire, hold the load to 5 lbs.
6) What part number do I order for the B-Line acoustical tee box hanger?
Order it as BA50CAN from B-Line. That is the manufacturer part number and the only model on the item, so there are no finish or size options to specify.
