B-LINE BG-8-12-A5 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Eaton B-Line BG-8-12-A5 acoustical tee fastener used for?
It's a side mount T-bar fastener that clips to the side of a suspended ceiling grid tee and supports cable or flexible conduit run above the T-bar. It gives you an attachment point in the ceiling plenum without drilling the grid or dropping a separate hanger.
2) Is the B-Line BG-8-12-A5 T-bar fastener UL listed for use in a ceiling plenum?
The BG-8-12-A5 acoustical tee fastener is UL/CUL listed, which is what most inspectors and institutional specs call for on cable and flex support hardware above an accessible ceiling. Note that UL listing of the fastener covers the fastener itself; plenum rating of the cable you hang from it is a separate question.
3) Can I use the B-Line BG-8-12-A5 to hang electrical branch circuit conduit from the ceiling grid?
No. This acoustical tee clip is intended to support cable or flexible conduit above the T-bar, not to carry rigid raceway or the weight of a conduit run. Rigid and EMT runs need independent support from structure, with the grid used only for the low-weight flex drops and cabling this clip is made for.
4) Does the B-Line acoustical tee fastener mount on the side of the grid tee or on the bottom face?
Side mount. The clip attaches to the side of the tee rather than the exposed bottom flange, so the tile face and the grid's finished surface stay clear, which is usually what a property manager or GC wants in an occupied space.
