Middle Atlantic NM Drop Ceiling Connector - 2986-FW

Middle Atlantic 2986-FW NM Drop Ceiling Connector

Overview

The Middle Atlantic 2986-FW is a non-metallic drop ceiling connector fitting from the Uniduct 2900 Series, designed to transition raceway runs cleanly into drop ceiling plenum spaces. In fog white finish, it blends with standard suspended ceiling grids in commercial environments — keeping cable management professional where infrastructure is visible. TAA compliance makes the 2986-FW a straightforward choice for government, education, or federal-contract installations where country-of-origin requirements apply.

Compatibility

The 2986-FW is purpose-built for the Middle Atlantic Uniduct 2900 Series raceway and cord cover system. It connects Uniduct 2900 Series duct runs to drop ceiling tile cutouts, maintaining a consistent non-metallic assembly throughout. For installations requiring a different color match, confirm the fog white finish suits your ceiling tile spec before ordering — Middle Atlantic offers the 2900 Series in multiple colorways. If you are running structured cabling or low-voltage wiring (camera runs, access control, intercom) through a suspended ceiling grid, this fitting provides the mechanical termination point where the duct meets the ceiling plane. Verify your Uniduct 2900 duct width matches the connector opening before ordering — fittings are series-specific and not interchangeable across incompatible duct profiles.

Installation Notes

Install into a drop ceiling tile or grid opening sized to the 2900 Series duct profile. The non-metallic construction means no grounding continuity through the fitting — factor this into your bonding plan if the broader raceway run includes metallic sections. TAA-compliant designation applies to the fitting itself; confirm your full duct fitting assembly bill of materials meets TAA if required by your contract.
