Announcing the most efficient way to install boxes on bar hangers, Orbit’s Drop-On-Bar Slider Brackets, aka the BARB! By quickly attaching to 4” and 4-11/16” square boxes, the BARB allows for boxes to be easily dropped onto Orbit’s Adjustable Bar Hangers (BHA-16 & BHA-24) and repositioned, before or after the hangers have been installed. Available as the BARB and the BARB-CS, which features cable support pin holes, this exclusive product from Orbit revolutionizes box on bar hanger installations! 

 

The BARB attaches to 4” or 4-11/16” boxes with a single tek screw, forming a versatile box assembly. This assembly can be prefabricated onto a BHA before arriving to the job site or, if already on the field, simply dropped onto the BHA after the hanger is installed.

Preassembling the box assembly on a BHA is quick and easy. Simply drop the box onto the BHA then, utilizing the BARB’s bending locking tabs, lock the assembly onto the hanger. This holds the assembly steady on the hanger preventing any parts from coming loose during shipment.

For In-Field installations, simply drop the BARB assembly onto the desired BHA before or after the hanger has been installed between studs.

Once both the BHA is installed on studs and the BARB has been added, repositioning is easy. Simply adjust the assembly along the hanger with your hand until the desired position is found. Then secure the assembly to the hanger using tek screws.
