B-LINE BA50E – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the B-Line BA50E acoustical tee fastener used for?
The Eaton B-Line BA50E is a heavy-duty electrical box hanger that fastens to an acoustical tee or t-bar in a suspended ceiling grid, so a box or fixture can be supported from the grid rather than from a separate structural drop. It is a pre-galvanized steel part ordered under part number BA50E.
2) Is the B-Line BA50E hanger UL listed for electrical work?
Yes, the BA50E acoustical tee fastener is UL/CUL listed, which is what most inspectors and institutional spec writers look for when a box is hung off ceiling grid.
3) Does the BA50E box hanger need a dropwire?
It is rated two ways: one capacity without a dedicated dropwire and a higher one with a dedicated dropwire installed. If you are hanging anything of consequence off the grid, plan on running the dedicated dropwire to get the higher rating, and follow your local ceiling support requirements for the fixture itself.
4) Can I use the BA50E to hang a box from drywall or a joist instead of ceiling grid?
No. The BA50E is built to clip onto an acoustical tee or t-bar in a suspended ceiling grid. For a hard-lid drywall ceiling or open joists, use a bar hanger or a box bracket intended for wood or steel framing.
5) Will the pre-galvanized finish on the BA50E hold up in a damp back-of-house ceiling?
The BA50E is pre-galvanized steel, which is the standard finish for dry and normally-conditioned interior ceiling spaces. For washdown areas, exterior canopies, or corrosive environments, specify a hot-dip galvanized or stainless support instead of pre-galvanized.
