nVent CADDY J1A35 Armour Spring Steel Adjustable Far-Side Box Support

The nVent CADDY J1A35 is an Armour-series far-side box support engineered to hold electrical boxes securely in place during rough-in construction. Made from durable spring steel, this adjustable support extends to fit both 2-1/2-inch and 3-5/8-inch stud spacing, giving electricians and contractors a flexible mounting solution across common wood and metal stud framing dimensions. The far-side design positions and braces the box from the opposite side of the stud, helping installers achieve a solid, properly located mounting point without additional hardware. Part of the nVent CADDY Armour product line, model J1A35 is built for dependable performance on everyday electrical rough-in jobs, whether the installation involves new wood framing or metal stud construction.

Key Features

  • Stud Spacing: Adjustable design fits both 2-1/2-inch and 3-5/8-inch stud spacing for versatile installation across standard framing widths.
  • Durable Construction: Spring steel material delivers long-lasting strength and consistent, reliable holding tension over repeated use.
  • Far-Side Support Design: Positions and secures electrical boxes from the far side of the stud, simplifying accurate box placement during rough-in without requiring access from both sides of the framing.
  • Armour Series: Model J1A35 is part of the nVent CADDY Armour line of spring steel box support products designed for electrical rough-in work.
  • Adjustable Fit: Spring-tension design allows the support to expand and hold firmly across its rated stud spacing range, accommodating both common stud widths with a single part.
  • Single-Piece Design: A one-piece spring steel body helps streamline installation and reduces the number of loose parts on the jobsite.

nVent CADDY J1A35 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the nVent CADDY J1A35 box support fit 2-1/2 inch metal studs and 3-5/8 inch studs?
Both. The J1A35 is an adjustable far-side box support sized for 2-1/2 inch to 3-5/8 inch stud spacing, so one part covers the two most common framing widths on a job. The spring steel body expands and holds tension across that range, which is why you don't need to stock a separate support for each stud size.
2) What is a far-side box support and when should I use one instead of mounting the box directly to the stud?
A far-side support braces an electrical box from the opposite side of the stud, so you set and hold the box without needing access from both sides of the framing. Use it when the box has to sit at a specific location on a stud face and you want it braced and positioned during rough-in. If the box is simply screwed to the near face of the stud, you don't need a support at all; the J1A35 earns its place when you want the box held solidly without extra hardware.
3) Does the J1A35 work in wood framing or only metal studs?
Both. The J1A35 is intended for electrical box mounting in wood or metal stud framing, which is why it's sized to the 2-1/2 inch and 3-5/8 inch widths common to each. Note that 2-1/2 and 3-5/8 are metal stud designations; nominal 2x4 wood framing measures 3-1/2 inches actual, which falls inside the stated range.
4) Do I need screws or any other hardware to install the nVent CADDY J1A35?
No separate mounting hardware is called for. The J1A35 is a one-piece spring steel body that holds by spring tension across the stud spacing, so the far-side design gives you a solid mounting point without additional hardware and without loose parts to track on the jobsite.
5) Is the CADDY J1A35 suitable for junction and panel boxes, or just switch and outlet boxes?
Its listed applications cover outlet and switch box positioning between studs as well as panel and junction box support in framed walls, across commercial and residential rough-in, new construction, and remodel work.
6) What is the exact part number to order for the CADDY Armour adjustable far-side box support?
Order model J1A35, part of the nVent CADDY Armour spring steel box support line. It's a single-model item, so there are no finish or size options to specify; the 2-1/2 to 3-5/8 inch adjustment range is built into that one part number.
