Product Description - A4/LED/SH/R/IC/AT 4" Type IC Air-Tight Shallow Recessed Remodel LED Housing

A4/LED/SH/R/IC/AT 4" Type IC Air-Tight Shallow Recessed Remodel LED Housing

The A4/LED/SH/R/IC/AT is a 4-inch, specification-grade recessed remodel housing engineered specifically for spaces with restrictive vertical clearance. This low-profile fixture installs directly from below into existing drywall, plaster, or wood ceilings, completely eliminating the need for above-floor attic access or structural modification. Code-engineered with an Insulation Contact (Type IC) rating, the heavy-duty housing is safe for direct, continuous contact with loose-fill, batt, or rolled ceiling insulation. Its ASTM-E283 certified Air-Tight construction effectively seals the ceiling plenum, eliminating drafts and stopping conditioned air from escaping to cut down on utility costs. Equipped with four robust snap-in remodel clips, a deep-reach collar adjustment mechanism, and a pre-wired junction box listed for through-branch circuit runs, this shallow retrofit platform provides a rock-solid, code-approved foundation for high-efficacy LED retrofit kits in modern residential, hospitality, and California Title 24 commercial renovations.

Key Features

• Ultra-Shallow Clearance Profile: Specially engineered compact vertical footprint fits seamlessly into tightly configured ceiling joist spaces and low-clearance plenums where traditional cans drift too deep.
• Type IC Insulation Safety Rating: Certified safe for direct, continuous burial within loose-fill, batt, or rolled ceiling insulation without posing fire or combustion risks.
• Certified Air-Tight ASTM-E283 Boundary: Meets rigorous energy efficiency standards to block airflow leakage through the ceiling aperture, reducing building heating and cooling loss.
• Tool-Free Below-Ceiling Installation: Installs quickly and entirely from beneath the ceiling line using four high-tension remodel clips—ideal for historical retrofits, multi-floor townhomes, and renovations with zero above-floor access.
• Adjustable Multi-Drywall Depth Collar: Deep-reach integral housing collar adjusts smoothly from 5/8" to 1-3/8" to flush perfectly against varying layers of drywall and structural plasterboard.
• Pre-Wired Through-Branch Junction Box: Robust code-approved splicing center listed for feed-through branch wiring, containing one 1-1/8" knockout, six 7/8" knockouts, and four Romex pryouts with integrated strain reliefs.
• California Title 24 & Energy Star Compliant: Satisfies strict structural energy codes and high-efficacy electrical framework mandates when paired with matching LED retrofit downlight modules.

Applications

• Restricted Clearance Ceiling Remodels: Fits cleanly inside older residential townhomes, apartments, and low-clearance soffit plenums where standard framing limits canister depth.
• Historical & Multi-Family Retrofits: Streamlines renovations in structures with finished upper stories by eliminating the labor and mess of lifting upper floorboards or accessing crawl spaces.
• High-Efficiency Kitchen & Living Spaces: Provides an airtight recessed framework over high-traffic residential areas to stop heat transfer between living zones and cold unconditioned attics.
• Bathrooms, En-Suites & Restrooms: Utilizing its damp location listing, it forms a safe, moisture-resistant rough-in barrier above vanity stations, washrooms, and powder rooms.
• Multi-Floor Commercial Developments: Maximizes headroom in office layouts, hospitality corridors, and retail buildings that feature thin floor-to-ceiling drywall configurations.
• Code-Compliant Energy Upgrades: Fulfills rigid regional environmental efficiency parameters and municipal energy codes for modern California Title 24 construction projects.
