New Caddy FMBS18 Floor Mount Box Support Provides Easy Compliance To The ADA
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - SOLON, Ohio, September 24, 2003 - The new CADDY FMBS18 Floor Mount Box Support easily positions the center of electrical boxes 18 ½" above the floor mounting surface to comply with the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) Accessibility Guideline Standards.
The FMBS18 provides quick, easy and efficient compliance to new construction requirements. It allows for mounting of 4" or 4 11/16" U.S. or Canadian boxes; 1 ½" or 2 1/8" deep. Also, plaster rings can be mounted for low voltage applications. The FMBSl8 can be mounted inside (using mounting tabs) or under floor track - independent of wall stud location.
Built-in far-side back support for 2 ½", 3 ½", and 4" metal or wood studs, eliminates stocking different size brackets. And, because just one bracket can be used for virtually all outlet types, the FMBS18 simplifies handling and inventory tracking.
For additional time-savings at the job site, electrical boxes can be pre-assembled to the FMBS 18.
