RAB DLPLATE/WFR3468/NB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the RAB DLPLATE/WFR3468/NB mounting plate work with a 6 inch WFR wafer downlight?
Yes. The RAB DLPLATE/WFR3468/NB is a single plate that covers WFR wafer downlights in 3, 4, 6, and 8 inch sizes, so the same part number serves a job that mixes aperture sizes across a building. Order one plate per fixture; the plate itself is not size-specific.
2) How much clearance do I need above the ceiling for the RAB wafer downlight mounting plate?
The plate measures 21.38 x 14.41 x 2.13 inches, so the 2.13 inch figure is the depth dimension you plan the plenum around. In a joist bay on 16 inch centers the 14.41 inch dimension is the one that drops between the joists. Check your bay spacing against those numbers before you order a quantity for a whole floor.
3) Does the RAB WFR mounting plate include the downlight, or is it just the bracket?
Bracket only. The DLPLATE/WFR3468/NB is mounting hardware, not a luminaire, and it carries no lamp or LED of its own. You order the WFR wafer downlight and its driver separately and use the plate to hold the fixture in position.
4) Is the RAB WFR wafer downlight plate a new-construction bracket or a remodel retrofit part?
It is the new-construction style approach: a flat pan you fasten in the framing before the ceiling goes up, sized at 21.38 x 14.41 inches to span a bay. Wafer downlights are normally installed by spring-clipping straight into a cut hole in finished drywall, so on an occupied remodel where you are not opening the ceiling you generally do not need this plate at all. Buy it where you have open framing and want the fixture located precisely before the rock goes on.
5) Does the RAB downlight mounting plate change the driver or wiring for the fixture?
No. The plate is a mechanical support only and does not sit in the circuit. The WFR downlights it carries run on a constant current driver, and that driver stays exactly as the fixture specifies whether or not the plate is used. Nothing about the plate affects dimming, voltage, or the junction box connection.
6) Is the RAB wafer downlight plate light enough to hang overhead by one person?
At 1.9 lb it is a one-hand part on a ladder, which matters when you are setting dozens of them across a floor of open framing. Weight is not the limiting factor here; the 21.38 x 14.41 inch footprint is what decides how easily it goes into a bay.
7) What finish is the RAB WFR downlight mounting plate, and will it be visible in the ceiling?
Gray. The plate sits above the ceiling plane holding the fixture, so the finish is a coating for the part rather than something the occupant sees. It is not a trim ring and it will not change the look of the aperture.
