The Crossbar That Holds Everything Together — 1/4 IPS Female Mounting Bracket for Pendant, Sconce, and Ceiling Fixtures
A 1/4 IPS female crossbar mounting bracket is the part most restorers only notice when it is missing. This zinc-plated steel fixture strap spans the electrical box and carries the full weight of the canopy and fixture above it — pendant light, wall sconce, semi-flush, or ceiling mount — wherever a 1/4 IPS threaded pipe or stem connects fixture to box. The center hole is tapped female 1/4 IPS to accept standard lamp pipe, hickey, or threaded stem. Slotted ends adjust to fit 3 1/4 inch and 4 inch round electrical boxes, making alignment clean and exact without shimming or forcing. A green ground screw is installed at the center. The plating is bright, the steel is solid, and the part is new — ready for lighting restoration, rewiring, or custom fixture building without modification.
