TB8 Features

A Listed assembly requires that the enclosed loudspeaker is not exposed within the air handling plenum. Wiring, and/or conduit enclosure entry fittings, and installation must comply with local codes. Many local codes require a separate enclosure assembly with customer-supplied "tie-off" wire to secure the assembly to the top of the building structure.

NOTE: All cable splices and connections to Speaker/Transformer pigtails must be made inside of Listed enclosure.

NOTE: When the RE84 and the TB8 are installed together, the clearance holes on the TB8 are used during installation. However, when the TB8 is installed without the RE84, the threaded holes on the TB8 are used during installation.
