Orbit Adjustable Box Bracket, Zinc Plated Steel

The Orbit BHA Series Adjustable Box Bracket is engineered from zinc plated steel and built to securely mount electrical boxes between wall studs or joists during new construction and remodel wiring projects. This family of brackets is available in the BHA-16 and BHA-24 models, each telescoping and locking in place across a model-specific span so electricians and contractors can position an outlet, switch, or junction box precisely where it needs to land without cutting or fabricating custom supports on site. The zinc plated steel construction resists corrosion and provides the rigidity needed to hold a box firmly in place through rough-in, drywall installation, and the life of the finished wall. Whether the job calls for the shorter reach of the BHA-16 or the extended span of the BHA-24, both models share the same durable, field-adjustable design that has made Orbit's box bracket lineup a go-to choice for framing-stage electrical box support.

Key Features

  • Adjustable Span: Extends and locks to fit varying stud and joist spacing on the job site, with the BHA-16 and BHA-24 models covering different reach requirements.
  • Durable Construction: Zinc plated steel body resists rust and corrosion for long-term structural reliability behind the wall.
  • Box Bracket Design: Purpose-built to hold electrical boxes securely between framing members during rough-in.
  • Field-Adjustable Fit: Eliminates the need for custom cutting or fabrication, speeding up installation across a range of framing widths.
  • Finish: Zinc plated finish for added protection against moisture and corrosion in typical wall-cavity environments.
  • Model Options: Choose the BHA-16 or BHA-24 to match the specific stud or joist spacing on your project.

Orbit BHA-16 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Which Orbit BHA box bracket do I need for 16 inch on-center studs?
For standard 16 inch on-center framing, the BHA-16 is the one to order. It adjusts from 11 to 18 inches, so it covers the roughly 14-1/2 inch clear opening between 16 inch on-center studs with room to spare. The BHA-24 spans 15 to 26-1/2 inches and is the choice for 24 inch on-center framing or wider joist bays.
2) Can I use one Orbit box bracket size for both 16 and 24 inch stud spacing on the same job?
The two spans overlap between 15 and 18 inches, but neither single model covers both standard layouts. The BHA-16 tops out at 18 inches, short of a 24 inch on-center bay, and the BHA-24 starts at 15 inches, too wide to compress into a 16 inch on-center bay. Stock both if the building mixes framing layouts.
3) Can Orbit BHA brackets be used in ceiling joists, not just wall studs?
The BHA Series bracket is built to mount electrical boxes between wall studs or joists, so joist bays are a stated application. Match the model to the clear bay dimension: 11 to 18 inches for the BHA-16, 15 to 26-1/2 inches for the BHA-24.
4) Do I have to cut or modify an Orbit adjustable box bracket to fit odd framing?
No cutting or fabrication. The bracket telescopes and locks anywhere in its range, so you set the box exactly where it needs to land and lock the bracket to the actual bay width. That is the point of the adjustable configuration, and it is what lets one part cover non-standard framing on remodel work.
5) What are the Orbit BHA box bracket part numbers to order?
Two models carry the BHA Series: BHA-16 for an 11 to 18 inch span and BHA-24 for a 15 to 26-1/2 inch span. The only ordering decision is the span, since both share the same zinc plated steel adjustable design.
6) Is a zinc plated steel box bracket okay to leave inside a wall cavity long term?
Zinc plated steel is the material and finish on the Orbit BHA brackets, chosen to resist rust and corrosion in typical wall-cavity conditions while staying rigid enough to hold the box through rough-in, drywall, and the life of the wall. It is not a stainless or exterior-exposure part, so keep it inside the framing cavity rather than in wet or outdoor locations.
