nVent CADDY DSI2A Pre-Galvanized Steel Old-Work Box Retaining Bracket

The nVent CADDY DSI2A is a pre-galvanized steel old-work box retaining bracket engineered to hold electrical boxes securely in place when there is no stud or framing member available for direct box mounting. Identified by its manufacturer designation as a box retaining bracket, the DSI2A gives electricians and contractors a straightforward way to set and retain standard electrical boxes in existing finished walls and ceilings. Its pre-galvanized steel construction is built to resist corrosion while providing the holding strength needed for dependable, long-term support in old-work and retrofit wiring applications. The DSI2A is part of the broader nVent CADDY lineup of box supports and mounting hardware used throughout commercial and residential electrical work.

Key Features
