B-LINE BA311 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes does the B-Line BA311 acoustical tee clip accept?
The BA311 clip takes support wire from #12 through #8 gauge. That covers the common independent hanger wire sizes used for electrical and mechanical support off a suspended ceiling grid, so if your drop wire falls in that range the clip will grip it.
2) What is the B-Line BA311 clip actually used for on a ceiling job?
It secures an independent support wire to the ceiling grid tee. The clip attaches the drop wire or rod to the acoustical t-bar so fixtures and other loads are carried on their own hanger wires rather than on the grid alone.
3) Is the B-Line BA311 acoustical tee fastener UL listed for inspected commercial work?
Yes. The BA311 is UL/CUL listed, which is what an inspector on a commercial or institutional ceiling job will look for when independent support wires are being clipped to the grid.
4) How big is the BA311 ceiling grid clip, and will it fit in a tight plenum?
It is a compact part: 1 inch height, 1 inch length and 1 inch width, weighing 0.101 lb. At that size it sits on the tee without eating into plenum clearance above a lay-in ceiling.
5) Can I use the BA311 clip to hang a light fixture or conduit directly from the ceiling grid?
No, that is not what it does. The BA311 attaches an independent support wire to the grid tee, so the load ends up on the hanger wire back to the structure above. It is not a load-carrying hanger by itself.
6) Is BA311 the right part number to order for a B-Line acoustical tee wire clip?
Yes. BA311 is the Eaton B-Line series acoustical tee and t-bar fastener catalogued as a drop wire/rod securing clip for #12 through #8 wire. That single model number is what you order; there are no finish or size options to specify.
