Surface Mount Bracket

    Engineered Products Company’s (EPCO) Surface Mount Bracket (SMB) is a contractor-friendly solution designed for fast, secure installation of 2-foot, 4-foot, or 8-foot fluorescent or LED narrow-body linear luminaires. The SMB allows you to easily mount the luminaire directly under a junction box, simplifying ceiling or wall installations in commercial, industrial, or wet location environments. 

    BENEFITS 

    • Streamlined Installation: Eliminates the need for a fixture whip and junction box cover plate, reducing installation steps.
    • Labor & Cost Savings: Speeds up the installation process, helping contractors save time and reduce labor costs.
    • Sealed & Protected Connection: Provides a water- and bug-resistant seal that safeguards the area between the junction box supply conductors and the luminaire—without adhesive sealant or gasket materials.
    • Professional Appearance: Creates a clean, polished finish with no exposed fixture whip running across the ceiling.
    • Wet Location Rated: Maintains UL Listing for “wet” location applications when used with EPCO Narrow Body Linear Luminaires.
    • Code-Compliant: Fully compliant with 2026 National Electrical Code (NEC) Article 410.24(A)(B) for secure surface mounting. 

    FEATURES 

    • Universal Compatibility: Designed for 2-foot, 4-foot, and 8-foot fluorescent or LED narrow-body linear luminaires.
    • Direct Junction Box Mounting: Allows the luminaire to be installed directly under a junction box for clean, professional surface mounting.
    • Pre-Drilled Housing: Factory pre-drilled hole ensures a precise fit for pulling supply conductors—no field drilling required.
    • Wet Location Protection: Maintains UL “wet location” rating, making it ideal for commercial kitchens, warehouses, parking garages, and other damp or wet environments.
    • Durable Construction: Engineered to provide a long-lasting, secure luminaire mounting solution that meets NEC requirements.
    • No Sealant Required: Creates a water- and bug-resistant seal without the need for additional gasket material or adhesives.
    • Custom Fit: Each bracket is installed to order, ensuring a perfect alignment for the luminaire housing and junction box.
    • Labor-Saving Design: Reduces installation time and eliminates the need for fixture whips, S-hooks, or extra mounting accessories. 

    IMPORTANT ORDERING INFORMATION 

    • The Surface Mount Bracket (SMB) is a factory-installed option only and is not sold as a separate accessory or available for field retrofit.
    • EPCO will pre-drill the luminaire housing at the designated location to pull supply conductors from the junction box into the luminaire.
    • Once pre-drilled, the luminaire becomes a custom order and is non-returnable.
    • When adding the Surface Mount Bracket (Option Y) to your part number, always ensure corresponding number is included (e.g., Y, Y1, Y2, or Y3).
