Light Fixture Crossbar Mounting Bracket Steel 1/8 1/4 3/8 IPS Tap

$ 13.99

The Heavy Duty Light Fixture Crossbar That Holds Your Chandelier Firmly and Your Restoration True


Every light fixture is only as secure as the crossbar behind it, and this heavy duty mounting bracket is built for the job. Stamped from thick 11 gauge zinc-plated steel, far sturdier than the thin straps packed with most modern fixtures, it anchors chandeliers, pendant lights, flush and semi-flush ceiling fixtures, and wall sconces without flex or wobble, while the plating resists corrosion inside the box. Elongated slots adjust to round, octagon, and pancake junction boxes, and the threaded center collar comes in your choice of 1/8 IPS for standard lamp pipe and nipples, or 1/4 IPS and 3/8 IPS for heavier antique chandeliers and hickeys. Whether you are rewiring a Victorian gasolier, hanging an Art Deco or Arts and Crafts pendant, replacing the bracket on a mid-century or Colonial Revival fixture, or outfitting a commercial or architectural lighting project, this new, unused lamp part gives antique, vintage, and reproduction fixtures alike a dependable foundation.

Can't Find the Part?

Looking for a matching sconce, a replacement shade, or an odd-sized fitter? Send us a photo and measurements. A large portion of our inventory is uncataloged. Many of the doors, windows, fireplace surrounds, bath fixtures, and architectural pieces in the yard never make it to the website. If you don't see it online, that doesn't mean we don't have it.

The Vintporium Heritage Standard

The Heritage Standard

Restored by hand, one at a time. Old wire out. New wire rated for present use, sound sockets, and grounding where the fixture allows. The body, glass, finish, and the marks it earned stay. Every fixture is tested on the bench before it leaves the shop.

About the Founder

Joe Golda has run Vintporium from his workshop in San José since 2008. He sources the pieces, pulls the old wiring, rewires them, finishes them by hand, and packs them himself. One person, one bench, one standard. Every fixture is tested — each socket, each switch — before it ships. What's original is called original. What's new is called new. We call this commitment to candor and craft our Heritage Standard.
