Tripar’s Open House

On September 24th, 2019 Tripar celebrated its 70th anniversary, opening its doors to the public for 3 consecutive days. We had the pleasure of welcoming the founder of Tripar, Ben Sevack as well as Caroline Bourgeois, mayor of Rivière-des-Prairies, Karim Elfilali of the City of Montreal and Simon Gaudreault and Marie Quesnel of the CFIB.

Pre-Painted Black I.C. Boxes

New Product Bulletin – Black I.C. Boxes

We are pleased to introduce a new line of Black I.C. Boxes!

Made of black pre-painted steel, both sides, in the same .027” min thickness steel to comply with UL1598, these offer the following advantages:

  • Increased heat dissipation: Being black, heat is absorbed more readily.
  • Visual absorption: Inside of I.C. box becomes almost invisible – especially important for large and/or multi-lamp cutouts.
  • Pre-painted steel: Far more cost effective than post painting.
  • Pre-painted steel: Leaves holes with bare metal, ensuring electrical continuity through metal fasteners; both screws & rivets.
  • Increased inside height: Utilizes the new single ceiling design of Tripar new #168X Series I.C.Boxes, offering an additional ½” inside height.
  • Aesthetics: They exude quality and look great!

#1681BL-11

#1481BL-11

These are offered in the same sizes as our current line of galvanized Chicago Plenum, as well as our Ultra Airtight I.C. Boxes – with black caulking to seal the joints instead of the standard white. As of Sept 2020, most of these are also available with larger Junction Box 70, please click here to read more about it.

As Tripar will be stocking this black material in both coil and sheet, custom sizes are also possible.

1 Requires Snap-on Inner J-Box Cover 1242-31 & Screw-on Outer J-Box Cover 1242-30.

2 Requires Snap-on Inner J-Box Cover 1442-31 & Screw-on Outer J-Box Cover 1442-30.

Small Ultra Shallow I.C. Box

New Product Bulletin – Small Ultra Shallow I.C. Box

Reduced above ceiling spaces + little consideration for lighting space requirements = increased need for low profile IC boxes.

To meet this equation, we are pleased to introduce our Small Ultra Shallow I.C.Box solution, available in both Chicago Plenum1 , and Ultra-Airtight versions.

The IC Box is only 3-1/2” tall, and measures 9-3/4” long x 8-1/2” wide. Using our airtight and proven full-size 1281-92-1 junction box, fitted within our 1286 series plaster frames, the overall footprint remains the same as the plaster frame; 11-3/4” long x 8-1/2” wide.

With the box sealed using the same proven methods as all our AT series IC boxes (gasketed underside of plaster frame where it mates with the IC Box, and with all joints caulked), the same restricted airflow performance is obtained (<2 cfm).

Like all of our I.C.Boxes, the inner snap-on junction box cover is available (#1242-31) with a variety of hole patterns for driver mounting and wire passage2. The outer cover (#1242-30) is screwed on using two 8-32 self-tapping screws.

The junction box and plaster frame are both made from galvanized steel, but the box components are available in either galvanized or prepainted black steel.
Note that the cover for the 1485 Series is our standard item #1242-30-10.

1 Chicago Plenum compliant.

2 Custom hole patterns also available. cu. in.

Single Ceiling I.C. Boxes

New Product Bulletin – Single Ceiling I.C. Boxes

We are pleased to introduce an updated design to our proven lines of galvanized I.C. Boxes – available in both Chicago Plenum and Ultra Airtight (<2 CFM airflow). Made of the same .027” min thickness steel to comply with UL1598, these offer the following advantages:

  • Increased inside height: With two side panels replacing the double ceiling construction of its predecessor, these maintain the same outside dimensions while offering an additional ½” inside height.
  • Improved heat dissipation: With single-ceiling box construction (instead of two), heat dissipates easier. However for even greater heat dissipation, check out Tripar’s new range of Black I.C.Boxes…

Both the existing Double ceiling and the new Single Ceiling I.C. Boxes will remain available. However certain versions of these new Single Ceiling I.C. Boxes will be stocked by Tripar, resulting in better pricing due to economies of scale, and shorter lead-times.

Also available with large (70 cu.in.) J-Box, please click here to read the Product Bulletin.
