Westinghouse 310300 6" New Construction Bracket for Slim Recessed Downlights
The Westinghouse 310300 (also cataloged as 510306913 / 31030) is a heavy-duty, galvanized steel new construction alignment bracket engineered for installing 6-inch slim recessed LED downlights. Designed to simplify rough-in formatting before drywall is hung, this flat alignment plate features integrated multi-point measuring marks, convenient slot tracks for flexible joist positioning, and dedicated wire retention paths. It reserves a precise, clean opening through the drywall layer during cutout routing, eliminating structural layout guesswork and ensuring code-compliant, centered fixtures in residential and commercial framing systems.
