Eaton Specification Sheet - TP16123
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The PVC nonmetallic construction with a 4 in box size and 20.8 cubic inch capacity provides corrosion resistance and ample wiring space. This nonconductive housing reduces grounding concerns and simplifies conductor routing, lowering field fault risk. It is well suited for ceiling-mounted lighting and fan circuits in commercial environments where non-hazardous locations and NEC/CEC compliance matter. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Ground plate improves earth continuity and mechanical grounding. Enhanced grounding reliability mitigates impedance issues in busy electrical bays and reduces inspection time. Essential for NEC/CEC-compliant projects in ordinary location ceilings to ensure safe, repeatable installations. Feature → Business Impact → Application: NM clamps and four cable pryouts enable secure entry and straightforward termination. This design cuts install time, minimizes conductor damage, and reduces rework, especially in dense ceiling runs and retrofit scenarios. Ideal for general power and lighting circuits in non-hazardous workplaces. Feature → Business Impact → Application: A 14–16 inch bar hanger provides flexible mounting across joist spacings. Contractors benefit from quicker alignment and fewer mounting adapters, which translates to faster project turnover. Use in new build or retrofit ceilings where varied joist spacing demands adaptable suspension. Feature → Business Impact → Application: NEC/CEC standards compliance and UL certification offer formal safety validation. This lowers risk during audits and accelerates procurement approvals for commercial installations requiring certified nonmetallic ceiling boxes. Applicable across offices, retail, and light industrial facilities seeking reliable, code-compliant infrastructure.
