This tile bridge distributes the weight of an 8 inch speaker assembly to the ceiling support system in a suspended 2'x 2' or 2'x 4' tile ceiling. A tile-bridge is often required by local building codes for safety reasons, as well as to reduce the potential of having unsightly sags in ceiling tile due to undistributed weight. This tile bridge can be used with or without a backbox, depending on local building codes and the style and weight of the speaker assembly.
