Overview

The Minerallac DLS1 Plastic Far Side Box Support (SKU: DLS1) is a snap-on mounting solution designed specifically for 3-5/8" steel studs, accommodating standard 1-1/2" or 2-1/8" deep electrical boxes. This tool-free support secures electrical boxes directly to metal studs without the need for screws, brackets, or other hardware, eliminating installation time and complexity. The DLS1 prevents electrical boxes from shifting or pulling out of drywall during installation or use, protecting both the box and surrounding surfaces from damage. Made from durable, high-impact plastic, the DLS1 complies with 2011 NEC Article 314.23(C), ensuring secure box mounting in metal stud applications where traditional methods are impractical or impossible. Its design allows for quick, one-handed installation, making it ideal for residential, commercial, and industrial electrical installations. The DLS1 provides long-term stability for outlets, switches, and junction boxes, reducing the risk of loose connections or structural damage over time. Distributed by Gross Automation, the DLS1 is a reliable, code-compliant solution for modern electrical installations in metal stud walls.
