B-LINE BF1-56 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the B-Line BF1-56 box stabilizer actually do on a metal stud wall?
The BF1-56 gives an electrical box far-side support, meaning it braces the side of the box that isn't screwed to the stud so the box can't rack or push back when a device is wired and the plate goes on. It's a box support fastener for wall stud framing, not a bracket the box hangs from.
2) Will the BF1-56 work on 3-5/8 inch metal studs or only 3.5 inch?
The BF1-56 is sized for 3.5 inch metal studs. If your framing is a different depth, this isn't the part for that wall; match the stabilizer to the stud depth you're actually running.
3) Is the B-Line BF1-56 box stabilizer UL listed for electrical work?
Yes, it carries a UL/CUL listing, which is what an inspector or a hospital/school facilities spec will want to see on a box support component.
4) What part number do I order for the B-Line 3.5 inch metal stud box stabilizer?
Order Eaton B-Line part BF1-56. That is the single model for the 3.5 inch metal stud box support fastener, so there is no finish or size option to specify with it.
5) Do I still need a bracket to mount the electrical box if I use a BF1-56?
Yes. The BF1-56 stabilizes the far side of the box, it doesn't carry it. The box still gets mounted to the stud the usual way, with the stabilizer added to stop movement on the unsupported side. Buy your box mounting bracket or screws separately.
