The H7RICAT is an air-tite housing designed for remodelling applications where the housing will be in direct contact with the ceiling insulation. This air-tite housing is designed to prevents airflow between living spaces and unconditioned areas, improving comfort while reducing energy losses. It also features an integral thermal protector to guard against misuse or improper lamping. This housing is only 7-1/2 inches in height, allows for use in minimum 2 x 8 inch joist construction. The four pre-installed remodel clips easily secure the housing to any 1/2-5/8 inch thick hard ceiling material. Accepts a wide range of trim styles and finishes (sold separately).
