T-33 Standoff Bracket – Cool Product!

 

image 1This product was developed for block wall applications, but it also works well on sheetrock. The bracket has a hole for a 1/2 inch or 3/4 inch connector. It has also been pre-punched for a bond screw. Out of the box the bracket is 2 inches tall but can be manipulated up to 3 inches tall.

 

The T-33 standoff bracket is something no electrician should go without. Don't take chances. Make absolutely sure your box installations meet NEC code!

 

  • Keeps J-boxes from being supported by conduit.
  • Ensures that J-box installations are code compliant.
  • Made from the finest materials available.
  • Made in the USA.

  • But is it UL listed, or is there third-party listing available ?

  • Any one that has been around for a few years has seen hundreds of four in square boxes supported by EMT conduit. I, personally, have never seen a one that caused any problem provided they were made up tight and grounded properly. Can anyone provide documentation of a problem? It was done that way for years with no adverse effects that I know of.

  • First of all I would like to thank Mike Holt for giving me this opportunity. I would also like to thank everyone who has commented about the T-33 Standoff Bracket. I designed this bracket for CMU (concrete masonary unit) which is 16" long, 8" tall and 8" deep. Here in Oklahoma our schools interior and exterior walls are built from these blocks. We install a masonary box and run a piece of EMT through the center of the block and turn it out above the ceiling. We then would cut the conduit as close as we could to the block and install the connector then the box so now we have the conduit supporting the box and that is the way it has been here done for years. I would be more than happy to e-mail pictures of this block application to anyone interested. My e-mail address is SPJ112233@yahoo.com. Thanks again.

  • I was about to make similar comments on this device. Since the previous gentlemen voiced mine, maybe Mike could give insight into this seemingly time consuming invention. Mr. Holt, do you have any specific applications where this would be cost effective? I believe we are missing something here.

    Thanks

  • We just punch a larger hole in the stud and run the conduit straight into the box - No bracket and NO offset. I don't see the value..

  • It looks like a solution in search of a problem. I don't see how this is faster or less expensive that mounting the box directly to the top of the wall. Plus if I mount the box flat on top of the wall I don't need to make the offest bend that's shown in the photo.

  • The picture you show has additional offsets that would not be needed if the box was screwed down into the top plate and the conduit with a very small box offset or straight in if the conduit is supported by a mini.

  • I thought if a conduit box had 2 or more pipes to be self supporting.

  • Why not cut the conduit flush with the plate and secure the box to the plate? Did I miss something?
