Product Description - 6" 2-Hour Fire-Rated IC Air-Tight New Construction Housing

6" 2-Hour Fire-Rated IC Air-Tight New Construction Housing

The 6" 2-Hour Fire-Rated IC Air-Tight New Construction Housing is a commercial-grade, heavy-duty recessed lighting rough-in engineered for multi-family residential complexes, commercial spaces, and mixed-use real estate projects requiring stringent structural fire barriers. Designed specifically for new construction installations, this premium steel enclosure carries a certified 2-hour UL fire rating (UL 1598 / UL 263), serving as a firewall shield to impede the vertical migration of flames through a ceiling plenum. Built to prevent expensive heating and cooling leaks, its air-tight construction strictly complies with ASTM Standard E283-04, while its IC rating permits direct contact with standard ceiling insulation materials. Outfitted with pre-installed adjustable swivel bar hangers (extending from 13-5/8" to 25") and captive installation nails, it adapts effortlessly to varied framing gaps. An industry-standard, pre-installed Ideal male orange quick connector (30-682M) along with an integrated 3-port push-in quick connect wire harness guarantees a rapid, tool-free connection path to compatible 6-inch UL or cUL classified LED retrofit kits and downlight modules.

Key Features

2-Hour Structural Fire Protection: Fully tested and certified under strict UL 1598 and UL 263 safety protocols to preserve ceiling membrane structural integrity for up to two hours during a fire.
ASTM Certified Air-Tight Shell: Engineered in rigorous compliance with ASTM Standard E283-04, preventing draft transmission and structural conditioning losses between living quarters and unconditioned attics.
Direct-Insulation Contact (IC-Rated): Designed with structural safety boundaries that allow regular building insulation fibers to lay directly against the metal housing without risk of overheating.
Precision Field Adaptability: Features an adjustable inner collar framework that expands from 1-1/2" upward to flawlessly accommodate varying ceiling drywall and plaster thicknesses.
Flexible New Construction Rigging: Features captive nails and swivel-head bar hangers that extend seamlessly from 13-5/8" out to 25", accommodating a variety of structural framing dimensions.
Optimized Electrical Splicing: Comes ready with a pre-wired 3-port push-in quick connector inside the junction box alongside a premium Ideal male orange quick connector (30-682M) for rapid, tool-free downlight attachment.
Code-Compliant Layout Target: Structured to satisfy standard building layouts; specified layout limits are not to exceed one luminaire per 25 square feet of ceiling area with a mandatory minimum separation of 3 feet between fixtures.
