Wine Rack

This wine rack is as functional and compact, as it is aesthetic, with no visible means of support!

The neck of each bottle is inserted into opposite sides of this vertically mounted rack, allowing the horizontally suspended bottles to be rotated so the labels are visible.

The hole size has been optimized to accept well over 95% of standard wine bottle necks; large enough to hold the overwhelming majority of bottles, but still with minimal sag. The few that may not fit are champagne bottles which have a larger upper neck or finish, and a few odd “designer” bottles.

With two rear flanges containing mounting holes that are accessible only through the wine bottle holes, the fixing screws remain hidden for an exceptionally clean look.

CP2010-12SN

CP2010-24SN

Formed to 2” wide x 3-3/8” deep, and made from a brushed satin nickel steel that has a clear topcoat, these racks never need polishing.

Offered in two sizes/capacities:

J-Box Enhancements

We are pleased to introduce two product enhancements related to some of our junction boxes.

AT Extender Box – Junction Box Extender for Airtight I.C. Boxes

Since 2007, we offer our Extender box (1232E) to double the internal volume of our 1232 series non-airtight junction boxes. We have recently modified the junction box used on our Airtight I.C. Boxes, to similarly allow multiples to be secured together, offering the same volume increase feature.

To use these Extenders, like always, two #8-32 self-tapping screws are installed into the cover mounting holes (but only partially and without any cover in place).

A second identical J-Box = our AT Extender Box, item # 1281-92-1 (or 1481-92-1 for our new line of Airtight IC Boxes with Junction Box 70), is then joined by rotating it so the (new) angled slots on the rear face engage under the heads of the partially installed screws. These screws may then be fully tightened, securing the AT Extender Box to the base J-Box.

Please click here for our regular size AT Extender Box 1281-92-1.

Please click here for our large AT Extender Box 1481-92-1.

Triparloc™ – Junction Box Locking feature

All of our junctions boxes that contain our snap-on cover retaining spring* will have the new Triparloc™. This is the addition of a small hole adjacent to free end(s) of the spring, into which a #8-32 self-tapping screw may be installed, providing for permanent or tamper proof assembly.

The head of the screw prevents the spring- release, locking any of our covers; flat, 3D & Extender Box. This can be also be useful when mounting a heavy driver to the cover to prevent accidental separation.

*Includes our #1062, 1232 & 1247 series junction boxes, 1232E Extender Box, 1410 & 1420 series Universal Driver/Junction Boxes, and any junction box that comes mounted to our 1241 series plaster frames.

To obtain more information please contact our Sales Team at Sales@TriparInc.com.

Plaster Ring Assembly

Plaster Rings & Assemblies

Tripar is pleased to offer 6” & 8” Plaster Rings and Assemblies for OEMs to design and incorporate aluminum reflectors and LED downlight modules, suitable for new construction or remodel, non-IC accessible or suspended ceilings.

The plaster rings contain a 1-3/8” tall flange and three dual contact retaining springs to hold the Trim/Reflector securely to the finished ceiling, easily withdrawn for LED module replacement or painting. Compatible with ceiling thicknesses from ½” to 1-1/8”.

The plaster rings also accept riveting of our;

  • 1253-1 Sliding Brackets, offering 3” of vertical adjustment when coupled with our 1254 Butterfly Brackets1, or our 1054 Caterpillar Brackets2.
  • 1232 series Junction Boxes, which include a variety of knockout holes (9/16”, 7/8” and 1-1/8”, all containing screwdriver slots), ground wire, and a snap-on cover retention spring. Measuring 4-3/4” wide x 3” high x 1- 3/4” deep, the internal volume is 25 in³, which may be increased approx. 50% by snapping on one of our 3D covers (1242-XXB), or doubled using our Extender Box 1232E; see https://www.triparinc.com/wp- content/uploads/2012/05/New-Product-Bulletin-Ext-Box-3-D-Cover.pdf .
