Middle Atlantic NM Base Clip 5400 Ivory - 5406TB

Middle Atlantic 5406TB Non-Metallic Base Seam Clip — 5400 Series, Ivory

Overview

The Middle Atlantic 5406TB is a non-metallic base seam clip fitting designed for use with the 5400-series raceway and cord cover system. At just 0.3 in tall and 1.8 in wide, the 5406TB secures base seams along raceway runs, keeping cable management installations tight and professional without adding visible bulk to finished wall surfaces.

The ivory color finish integrates cleanly with standard commercial wall and trim environments — a practical detail when installations run through offices, classrooms, healthcare corridors, or retail spaces where aesthetics matter alongside function. If your project specifies a different color, verify against available 5400-series variants before ordering.

TAA compliance is confirmed for the 5406TB, making it a straightforward inclusion on federal, state, and municipal projects that require Trade Agreements Act conformance across all bill-of-materials line items — including small fittings that are easy to overlook during procurement review.

Compatibility

The 5406TB is purpose-built for the Middle Atlantic 5400-series non-metallic raceway system. It is not a universal fitting — confirm the base channel profile matches the 5400 series before ordering. For other raceway families or metallic installations, refer to the appropriate fitting within the cable management accessories line. If you are specifying a full structured cabling or surveillance infrastructure run, pair these clips with the correct 5400-series base and cover to maintain a consistent finished appearance across camera and cabling runs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the Middle Atlantic 5406TB TAA compliant?

A: Yes. The 5406TB is confirmed TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, making it suitable for government and federally funded projects requiring TAA conformance.

Q: What color is the 5406TB?

A: Ivory. Verify the finish matches your raceway base and cover before ordering if color consistency is a project requirement.

Q: What are the dimensions of the 5406TB?

A: The 5406TB measures 0.3 in (0.8 cm) in height and 1.8 in (4.6 cm) in width.

Q: Which raceway series does the 5406TB fit?

A: The 5406TB is designed for the Middle Atlantic 5400-series non-metallic raceway and cord cover system. It is not a universal fitting — confirm series compatibility before ordering.

Q: Can the 5406TB be used in metallic raceway installations?

A: No. The 5406TB is a non-metallic fitting specified for the 5400 NM raceway series. For metallic raceway systems, a different fitting family is required.

The 5406TB is the kind of line item that gets overlooked until an inspector or end-user notices a raceway seam that won't stay flush — at 0.3 in tall and 1.8 in wide, this clip is dimensionally sized to hold the 5400-series base seam without protruding past the cover profile. Small detail, but it matters on finished commercial installations where aesthetics are part of the deliverable.

Technical Highlights:

• Compact profile (0.3 in H × 1.8 in W): sized to sit within the 5400-series base channel without creating a raised lip that catches covers out of alignment — keeps the finished run looking intentional rather than improvised.
• Ivory finish: matches standard 5400-series ivory raceway components; mismatched fittings are a common punch-list item on healthcare and education installs where inspectors walk the cable runs visually.
• TAA compliant: clears the compliance checkbox on government and institutional bids — worth confirming on every fitting in the BOM, not just the major components, since a single non-compliant line item can hold up procurement approval.

Deployment Considerations:

• This is a series-specific fitting — the 5406TB is not interchangeable with other Middle Atlantic raceway families. Confirm the base channel is 5400 NM before spec'ing it into a BOM.
• Ivory-only: if the installation environment uses white or other 5400-series color variants, order the matching color clip rather than assuming ivory is a close-enough substitute on visible runs.

Best fit for TAA-required institutional or government projects running 5400-series non-metallic raceway — government offices, VA facilities, DoD installations, or any site where the full cable management BOM must pass a compliance review.
