B-LINE BB40-12 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the B-Line BB40-12 Uni-Mount bracket actually do on a low voltage rough-in?
The BB40-12 is a single gang box support and cover plate mounting bracket from the Eaton B-Line series, built for communication and low voltage work. It supports the box in the wall opening and gives the cover plate something to fasten to, with a 3/4 inch raise built in so the box sits proud of the framing for finished drywall or panel thickness.
2) Will the BB40-12 work for a two gang opening?
No. It's a single gang bracket only. For a two gang or larger opening you need a multi-gang support bracket sized to that box.
3) Is the B-Line BB40-12 UL listed for inspected commercial work?
Yes. The BB40-12 box support bracket is UL/CUL listed, which is what an inspector on a commercial or institutional job will look for on low voltage box support hardware.
4) Why would I want the 3/4 inch raise version instead of a flush bracket?
The 3/4 inch raise pushes the ring forward from the stud face so the box edge lands flush with thicker finished wall material. If your finish is standard 1/2 inch drywall, a 3/4 inch raise sets the box too far forward and you want a shallower raise instead.
5) What is the BB40-12 bracket made of, and will the finish hold up in a damp mechanical room?
Steel with a pre-galvanized finish. That zinc coating handles ordinary interior humidity and concealed wall or mechanical space conditions. For direct exposure to weather or corrosive wash-down, specify a hot-dip galvanized or stainless support instead.
6) Can I use the BB40-12 for line voltage receptacle boxes, or is it low voltage only?
Eaton lists this bracket under communication and low voltage applications, and that is the use it is specified for. If you are supporting a line voltage device box, order a bracket rated for that application rather than assuming this one covers it.
7) What part number do I quote to order this B-Line box support bracket?
Order it as Eaton B-Line BB40-12. That is the manufacturer part number for the single gang Uni-Mount box support and cover plate bracket with the 3/4 inch raise, pre-galvanized steel.
