Box support fasteners

Not all electrical box supports are created equal. 

When it comes to rigid, easy to install electrical box supports, Eaton offers a wide variety of B-Lines series electrical boxes that help reduce installation complexity.

From floor-mount to wall-mount box supports, we offer a variety of options to mount just one to up to 4 or 5 boxes, and every design is rigid enough to withstand the rigors of drywall installation.

Simplify your install with the completely adjustable telescoping box bracket

The telescoping box bracket fits a range of stud spacings that mounts with just two screws, then snap on the tool-less box mounting clip to quickly attach your box.

Ask for the B-Line series BB2-16T or BB2-24T bracket and the BB2TSC mounting clip on your next order.
