B-LINE BAX-4-16-32 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the B-Line BAX-4-16-32 T-bar scissor fastener actually do in a suspended ceiling?
It is a scissor-action clip that grips the flange of a suspended ceiling tee (T-bar) so you can hang a load from the grid without drilling or tying to the grid wire. The BAX-4-16-32 is a T-bar scissor fastener with a 1-1/2 inch stud length, so the threaded stud gives you something to attach a fixture, hanger, or box bracket to once the clip is locked on the tee.
2) What size is the B-Line BAX-4-16-32 clip, and will it sit above a standard ceiling tile without fouling it?
The body measures 2 inches long, 1.5 inches wide, and .25 inch high, with a 1-1/2 inch stud. The low .25 inch profile keeps the clip tight to the tee flange, and the stud projects from there, so the depth you need to plan for above the grid line is the stud length rather than the body.
3) Should I use a T-bar scissor clip or a hanger wire to support a fixture in a drop ceiling?
A scissor clip like the BAX-4-16-32 grabs the tee flange directly and gives you a 1-1/2 inch stud to mount to, which is the fast choice for light loads sitting right at the grid, up to its 50 lb rating. Hanger wire back to the deck is what you use when the load exceeds that, when the item must be independently supported of the ceiling, or when it hangs well below the grid line.
4) Do I need to order anything else with the BAX-4-16-32 to hang a fixture from the ceiling grid?
The clip supplies the grid attachment and a 1-1/2 inch stud only. Whatever mates to that stud, the fixture bracket, hanger, nut, or mounting plate, comes separately, and for loads over the 50 lb rating you also need support back to the structure.
