WAC Lighting R3H-FRAME – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What ceiling cutout does the WAC Patriot R3H-FRAME need?
The R3H-FRAME frame-in kit takes a 4.25 inch cutout. If you are laying out a ceiling grid or coordinating with drywall, that is the hole size to hold, not the nominal 3 inch aperture of the Patriot trim.
2) Can I use this frame in a bathroom or covered porch ceiling?
The R3H-FRAME is rated for damp locations, which covers bathrooms, over showers in many layouts, and covered exterior ceilings like porches and soffits. It is not a wet location rating, so keep it out of places with direct water exposure.
3) Is the WAC R3H-FRAME a complete recessed light, or do I still need to order the light engine and trim?
It is the frame-in kit only. The R3H-FRAME is the pre-framing housing for the WAC Lighting Patriot 3 inch recessed collection, so you order the Patriot light module and trim separately to finish the fixture.
4) Should I use a new construction frame or a remodel housing for recessed cans?
Use a new construction frame like the R3H-FRAME when the ceiling is open and you can mount to joists before drywall goes up, which is what pre-framing means. If the ceiling is already closed and you are cutting into finished drywall, you want a remodel or retrofit housing instead, not this frame.
5) What beam spread do I get with the Patriot 3 inch system, and can it be changed in the field?
The standard output is a 45 degree flood. Pull the lens out and it converts to a 25 degree narrow beam spread, so one order covers both general ambient wash and tighter accent aiming without stocking two parts.
6) Does the Patriot 3 inch frame support square trims and adjustable downlights?
Yes. The Patriot 3 inch platform this frame serves is offered in round or square trim, with adjustable or straight downlight options, so you can mix fixed downlights and aimable units across a job while keeping one frame and one 4.25 inch cutout throughout.
7) Can I standardize on one frame part number across a multi-family or hotel ceiling package?
Yes. R3H-FRAME is a single part number covering the Patriot 3 inch new construction housing, and the same frame carries round or square trim and straight or adjustable downlights. You spec one frame at one 4.25 inch cutout and vary only the trim and module by room type.
8) How durable is the WAC R3H-FRAME housing for commercial jobs?
The frame is built from 20 gauge cold rolled steel. That is a rigid housing that holds alignment during drywall work and ceiling loading, which matters when a crew is framing dozens of openings ahead of the finish trades.
