nVent CADDY 515A DACROMET 320 Spring Steel Straight/Upturned Lip Lay-In and Troffer Support Clip

The nVent CADDY 515A is a Lay-In and Troffer Support Clip engineered to secure lighting fixtures within suspended ceiling grid systems. Constructed from spring steel and finished with a DACROMET® 320 coating, this clip delivers durable, corrosion-resistant performance for commercial ceiling installations that demand hardware able to withstand repeated handling and long-term exposure to typical building environments. Its straight/upturned lip design allows the clip to fit both flat and upturned ceiling grid tees, giving installers flexibility when mounting lay-in and troffer-style light fixtures into T-bar suspended ceiling systems without requiring separate clip variants for each grid configuration encountered on a job site.

Key Features

  • Spring Steel Construction: Fabricated from spring steel for a durable, resilient clip that maintains consistent spring tension and grip under sustained load.
  • DACROMET® 320 Finish: A corrosion-resistant DACROMET® 320 coating helps protect the clip against rust and environmental wear over the life of the installation.
  • Straight/Upturned Lip Design: Compatible with both straight and upturned lip ceiling grid tees, giving installers a single clip that adapts to more than one grid profile.
  • Lay-In and Troffer Support: Purpose-built to secure lay-in and troffer-style light fixtures directly to the ceiling grid, holding fixtures securely in place.
  • Model 515A: Identified within the nVent CADDY 515 series of lighting fixture support clips for suspended ceiling applications.
  • Grid-Ready Fit: Designed to engage directly with standard ceiling grid tees, simplifying fixture attachment without additional hardware.

nVent CADDY 515A – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the nVent CADDY 515A clip work on an upturned lip ceiling grid tee, or only a flat straight tee?
Both. The 515A is a straight/upturned lip clip, so one part engages flat straight tees and upturned lip tees alike. That means an electrician working a building with mixed grid profiles does not have to carry two different clips to finish the fixture attachments.
2) What is the nVent CADDY 515A clip actually used for on a job?
It holds lay-in and troffer style light fixtures to the tees of a T-bar suspended ceiling. The clip engages the grid tee directly and keeps the fixture seated in the opening, so no separate attachment hardware is needed to make the connection to the grid.
3) Is the CADDY 515A clip coated for damp or corrosive ceiling spaces?
The clip carries a DACROMET 320 coating, a corrosion resistant finish intended to hold off rust and environmental wear over the life of the install. That makes it suitable for the plenum and ceiling environments found in ordinary commercial and industrial buildings.
4) Why spring steel instead of a plain steel clip for holding a troffer?
Spring steel is what gives the 515A its grip. The material holds consistent spring tension against the grid tee under sustained load, so the clip keeps clamping force on the fixture rather than relaxing after it is snapped on and handled.
5) What part number do I order for the CADDY 515A, and is there more than one version?
The 515A is ordered as a single model, manufacturer part number 515A, in the straight/upturned lip configuration. There is no separate handing, size, or finish choice to specify, which is the point of the dual lip design.
6) Can I use these clips on a retrofit where fixtures are being swapped into an existing grid?
Yes, that is one of the intended uses. nVent CADDY lists the 515A for both renovation and new construction ceiling work, and because the clip attaches to the existing grid tee rather than to structure above, it suits fixture swaps in a ceiling that is already up.
