EC&M's editor's picks for product of the week.

Dual wall bracket



















One dual side box support wall bracket is designed to do the work of two traditional wall brackets. The dual wall bracket can mount up to three 4 in. or 4 11/16 in. square deep boxes facing opposite directions in 16 in. stud spacing and four boxes in 25 in. stud spacing. It features built-in tabs for 3 ½ in. and 6-in. wall depths as well as a stamped ruler on both sides and continuous 3 3/2 in pilot holes, ¼-in. on center. The brackets come with wide wings with ¼-in pilot holes on each side to mount to studs, allowing brackets to be moved up to ½-in. left or right to allow installation when studs are not exactly 16 in. and 24 in. on center.
