B-LINE BP-16-A5 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How does the BP-16-A5 attach to a suspended ceiling grid?
It's a side mount t-bar fastener, so it clips to the side of the ceiling grid t-bar rather than over the top of it. That keeps the conduit run alongside the grid member and leaves the tile seating undisturbed. No separate hanger rod or strut is involved.
2) Is this B-Line conduit fastener listed for electrical use by an inspector?
Yes, it's cULus Listed, which covers both US and Canadian requirements, so it will pass inspection as a listed conduit support component on either side of the border.
3) What are the dimensions of the BP-16-A5 fastener, and will it clear a tight ceiling cavity?
The fastener measures 16 in in length/depth, 1.25 in in height, and .75 in in width, and it weighs .072 lb. The 1.25 in height is what matters for cavity clearance above the grid; the 16 in dimension is the long run of the part, so allow for that along the t-bar when you lay out your spacing.
4) Can I use a t-bar conduit fastener instead of running strut and clamps above the ceiling?
For light 3/4 inch conduit runs following a suspended grid, a t-bar fastener like the BP-16-A5 is the faster method, it clips straight to the grid member with no rod, strut, or anchor into the deck. Where the run is heavy, stacked, or has to be independently supported off the structure (grid support is not permitted for the load), go with strut and conduit clamps hung from the deck instead.
5) Will this fastener work with EMT rather than IMC?
It's specified for 3/4 inch IMC rigid conduit. IMC and rigid share the same outside diameter at a given trade size, so a 3/4 inch IMC/rigid fastener is sized to that OD; 3/4 inch EMT has a smaller OD and is not the stated fit. Order the EMT-size fastener for EMT runs.
