.Engineered to meet the latest industry standards, the new Carlon® Blue™ fan-rated ceiling boxes from ABB Installation Products help protect and power residential and light commercial installations

.Supports growing demand for energy-efficient ceiling fans in home improvements and new construction

.Sustainably produced in Tennessee, extensively tested and backed by an Environmental Product Declaration, Carlon® Blue™ non-metallic electrical boxes are trusted by contractors and homeowners

More than 70% of American households have at least one ceiling fan, and nearly a quarter use four or more. Increasing demand for energy-efficient ceiling fans with integrated technology and smart features is spurring the need for properly rated support. The new Carlon® Blue™ fan-rated ceiling boxes from ABB Installation Products are engineered for easy installation and to safely support a fan’s weight, vibration and movement, in compliance with the latest National Electric Code (NEC) outlet box requirements for ceiling-suspended fans.

Improperly installed ceiling fans lead to an estimated 20.000 injuries annually in the United States. To help improve home safety, the 2020 NEC requires ceiling outlet boxes in homes, including rooms where ceiling fans may be installed now or later, to either be listed for the sole support of ceiling-suspended fans or provide access to structural framing capable of supporting a ceiling fan bracket. ABB’s Carlon Blue ceiling boxes are rated for a 50-pound light fixture and 35-pound ceiling fan, with vibration-resistant screws through reinforced metal brackets that provide greater strength than plastic alone.

“Ceiling fans are used year-round in millions of homes and are often an overlooked safety risk. Our new Carlon Blue fan-rated ceiling boxes address the needs of contractors and homeowners for a safe, smart and sustainable solution,” said Jack Bellissimo, Senior Vice President, Product Management, Marketing & Strategy, ABB Installation Products. “Authentic Carlon boxes in our distinctive blue color are responsibly produced in Tennessee and meet the 2020 NEC code to perform safely and reliably.”

Harnessflex Interconnect™ System

A Multi-Sleeve Adaptor for the fastening of Harnessflex fittings and connector interfaces to braiding, sleeving, heat-shrink, self-close wrap and other common forms of cable protection.

Harnesflex Interconnect™ System (Multi-Sleeve Adaptor), allows free rotation of braid and sleeving relative to backshell or fitting, reducing strain, intrusion and impact damage – all of which can lead to electrical faults and vehicle failure.

The Multi-Sleeve Adaptor (MSA/MSAR) is compatible with Harnessflex hinged fittings and connector interfaces.

Features & benefits:

Easily secured with Ty-Rap® cable ties or Harnessflex Multi-Function clips

Hold cable bundles inside conduit

Smooth cable entry and bore

Easy assembly

External hinged connector interfaces – tough and durable protection for OEM connectors against high pressure wash-down, excessive cable strain and abrasion

Connect seamlessly with Multi-Sleeve Adaptor

Internal conduit backstop provide insertion guide ensuring system integrity and high pull off strength

Hold cable bundles inside slit conduit and reduce risk of cables protruding out

Reduce vibration risk by minimising impact of cable on conduit inner wall
