Accelerate framing-phase rough-ins and secure clean linear alignment across complex lighting plans with the 4.13″ Rectangular Flanged New Construction Plate (Product Code: G-98816). Purpose-built as a structural layout substrate for high-end retail galleries, commercial corridors, and upscale residential spaces, this heavy-duty plate is installed directly to wood joists or commercial ceiling grids before sheetrock application. It establishes precise positioning boundaries for multi-light linear downlights and architectural slot fixtures, ensuring flawless runs.
Constructed from premium galvanized steel to resist bending, warping, and harsh job site conditions, the G-98816 features a highly versatile multi-cutout extension channel. This single rough-in plate acts as an all-in-one layout template, integrating 4 distinct precut length configurations matching a standard 4.13-inch width channel. Installers can easily adapt or cut away the plate to match the exact spacing requirements of single, double, triple, or quad-head directional downlight modules, eliminating the need to stockpile multiple single-size linear plates.
By creating an unyielding structural metal guide for drywall routing tools, this flanged layout plate guarantees straight, razor-sharp rectangular openings with zero sheetrock blowout. It effortlessly carries the weight of heavy remote electronic driver compartments, safeguarding your ceilings against sagging or cracking over time.
Key Features:
4-in-1 Linear Cutout Versatility: Precision-engineered to accommodate four distinct multi-light rectangular cutout dimensions within a 4.13" width framework: 3.74” x 4.13”, 8.46” x 4.13”, 13.19” x 4.13”, and 17.91” x 4.13”.
Contractor SKUs Optimization: Replaces multiple single-length linear plates with a single flexible product solution, reducing procurement friction and lowering truck storage requirements.
Galvanized Steel Core: Manufactured from heavy-gauge, corrosion-resistant steel to maintain structural tolerances against heavy sheetrock hanging, taping, and plastering phases.
