B-LINE BA-4-16-48 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How much weight can the Eaton B-Line BA-4-16-48 acoustical tee fastener hold?
The BA-4-16-48 twist fastener is rated for 50 lbs. That covers typical suspended loads like small junction boxes, low-voltage devices and light fixture support hardware hung off a t-bar grid. Anything heavier needs independent support back to structure rather than the ceiling grid.
2) What size stud and thread does the B-Line BA-4-16-48 acoustical tee fastener use?
It is a 5/16 inch twist fastener with a 3 inch stud length. The 3 inch stud gives you room to pass through the tee and pick up a box, bracket or hanger nut on the other side, so confirm your device accepts a 5/16 inch stud before ordering.
3) What is the difference between a twist-on acoustical tee fastener and a standard grid clip?
A twist fastener like the BA-4-16-48 engages the tee and locks with a quarter turn, then presents a 5/16 inch stud you can hang hardware from, and it carries a cULus Listing for electrical attachment at 50 lbs. A plain grid clip only grips the rail and gives you no threaded stud, so it is fine for holding ceiling tiles or light wire management but not for supporting a rated electrical load.
4) What are the carton dimensions and weight for the B-Line BA-4-16-48 fasteners?
Each fastener weighs .072 lb, and the pack measures 4 x 16 x 2 inches (width, length/depth, height). Light enough that a few boxes ride in a van without eating payload, which matters when you are laying out a whole floor of grid.
