Minerallac DLS1 Far Side Electrical Box Support, Black

Minerallac DLS1 Far Side Electrical Box Support, Black

The Minerallac DLS1 Far Side Electrical Box Support is a molded plastic bracket built to mount to the back of 1-1/2" or 2-1/8" electrical boxes, giving electricians a fast, secure way to position boxes on 3-5/8" metal studs without additional fasteners or bar hangers. Finished in black and manufactured in the United States, this support is designed for commercial and residential rough-in work where consistent box depth and stud alignment matter. The far side mounting configuration lets installers set the box from the opposite side of the stud, saving time on jobs where working room is tight or box placement needs to be locked in before drywall goes up. At approximately 0.975 x 0.975 x 2.22 inches, the DLS1 is compact enough to install without adding bulk behind the box or interfering with the stud cavity, making it a practical addition to any electrician's rough-in toolkit for light-gauge steel framing.

Key Features

• Box Compatibility: Mounts to the back of 1-1/2" or 2-1/8" electrical boxes for flexible fit across common box depths.
• Stud Fit: Designed specifically for 3-5/8" metal studs, the standard size used in most light-gauge steel framing on commercial and residential jobs.
• Far Side Mounting: Support attaches on the far side of the stud, allowing installers to set boxes accurately without needing access from both sides of the framing.
• Durable Molded Construction: Molded plastic construction provides a lightweight, non-conductive support that resists the wear of daily jobsite handling.
• Finish: Black finish for easy visual identification on the jobsite and consistent appearance across installed supports.
• Compact Footprint: Sized at approximately 0.975 x 0.975 x 2.22 inches, the support installs without adding bulk behind the box or interfering with stud cavities.
• Time-Saving Installation: Eliminates the need for separate hanger bars or brackets when setting boxes on metal stud framing, speeding up rough-in.
