4.25 Inch Rectangular Flanged New Construction Plate | Goodlite G-98817

Accelerate framing-phase rough-ins and secure clean linear alignment across complex lighting plans with the 4.25″ Rectangular Flanged New Construction Plate (Product Code: G-98817). 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-98817 features a highly versatile multi-cutout extension channel. This single rough-in plate acts as an all-in-one layout template, integrating 6 distinct precut length configurations matching a standard 4.25-inch width channel. Installers can easily adapt or cut away the plate to match the exact spacing requirements of 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:
