Middle Atlantic 5450TWH Non-Metallic Twin Snap Device Bracket Fitting
Overview
The Middle Atlantic 5450TWH is a non-metallic twin snap device bracket fitting designed for use with Middle Atlantic's 5400-series raceway and cord cover systems. At 4.9 in (12.5 cm) wide and just 0.7 in (1.8 cm) tall, the 5450TWH provides a low-profile mounting solution for device integration within surface-mounted raceway runs — keeping installs clean and organized on finished walls without requiring conduit or in-wall rough-in. TAA compliance makes it a straightforward fit for government, federal, and public-sector projects that mandate Trade Agreements Act conformance. For integrators building out Middle Atlantic raceway systems, this bracket is the device-mounting piece that completes a finished installation.
Key Features
- 4.9 in (12.5 cm) Width: Sized to span the 5400-series twin-snap raceway profile — matches the channel width so the bracket seats flush without cutting or shimming.
- 0.7 in (1.8 cm) Profile Height: Stays nearly flat against the wall surface, which matters in corridors, retail environments, and finished office spaces where bulky hardware is unacceptable.
- White Finish: Blends with standard commercial wall finishes; appropriate for cable management runs in lobbies, reception areas, and open office deployments where aesthetics are a factor.
- Non-Metallic Construction: Eliminates grounding concerns at the bracket level and resists corrosion — relevant in humid or coastal environments where metal hardware can degrade over time.
- TAA Compliant: Verified Trade Agreements Act compliance means this fitting can be specified without exception on GSA schedules, federal contracts, and many state/local government procurement vehicles. No substitution required at bid time.
- Twin Snap Design: The snap-fit mechanism means tool-free attachment to the 5400-series raceway base — speeds up installation on long raceway runs where dozens of fittings may be required.
Integration & Compatibility
The 5450TWH is engineered specifically for Middle Atlantic's 5400-series non-metallic raceway and cord cover system. Verify raceway series compatibility before ordering — Middle Atlantic produces multiple raceway families with different channel widths and snap geometries. This fitting is not a universal raceway accessory. If your project uses a different Middle Atlantic raceway series or a third-party cord cover system, confirm cross-compatibility with the manufacturer before procurement. Pair with compatible raceway and cord cover components from the same 5400 family to ensure proper fit and a uniform finished appearance. For broader infrastructure planning on security and AV installations, reference a structured cabling planning guide to coordinate raceway routing with device placement early in the design phase.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the Middle Atlantic 5450TWH TAA compliant?
A: Yes. The 5450TWH is verified TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, making it suitable for federal, GSA, and many state/local government projects with domestic sourcing requirements.
Q: What raceway series is the 5450TWH designed for?
A: The 5450TWH is designed for Middle Atlantic's 5400-series non-metallic twin snap raceway and cord cover system. Confirm compatibility before specifying it with other Middle Atlantic raceway families.
Q: What are the dimensions of the 5450TWH?
A: The 5450TWH measures 4.9 in (12.5 cm) wide and 0.7 in (1.8 cm) tall — a low-profile fitting suited for finished commercial wall surfaces.
Q: What color is the 5450TWH?
A: White. It is intended to blend with standard commercial wall finishes in offices, corridors, and public-facing spaces.
Q: Is the 5450TWH a metallic or non-metallic fitting?
A: Non-metallic. This eliminates grounding concerns at the bracket and provides corrosion resistance in humid or coastal environments.
The Middle Atlantic 5450TWH comes up on government and healthcare installs specifically because of its TAA compliance status — at 4.9 in wide and 0.7 in tall, it is a purpose-fit bracket for the 5400-series twin snap raceway, not a generic fitting you adapt to the job.
Technical Highlights:
- TAA Compliance: Verified at the SKU level — no project-level compliance waivers needed when this fitting appears on a federal or GSA bill of materials.
- 4.9 in Width: Dimensioned to match the 5400-series channel exactly, so the snap engagement is full-width with no lateral play that could compromise a finished wall installation.
- Non-Metallic Construction: In environments with high humidity or salt air — think coastal facilities, natatoriums, or food-processing adjacencies — non-metallic fittings outlast metal hardware without maintenance intervention.
Deployment Considerations:
- Verify the raceway series on-site before pulling stock — Middle Atlantic's raceway families use different snap profiles and the 5450TWH is specific to the 5400 twin-snap geometry; a mismatch means the bracket won't seat correctly.
- White finish is the only available color per evidence — if the raceway run transitions through spaces with non-white wall finishes (gray server rooms, dark-panel AV spaces), plan for paint or coordinate with the architect early.
Best fit for TAA-required government facilities, federal courthouses, VA medical centers, and similar projects where every line item on the BOM needs documented compliance — the 5450TWH checks that box without special ordering or substitution.
