IBEW members invent bracket that saves time and trouble

Southern Illinois – It’s tough. You’re high up on a ladder, and reaching to make connections and assemblies to install a low-voltage device such as a camera or smoke detector. And there are another three-dozen rooms that need them after that.

Two southern Illinois union electricians, Dennis Glisson and Rusty Pritchett, have invented a solution to make the job quicker and easier.

They showed their new product, the Universal Ceiling Mount Bracket, at the Electrical Expo of the Electric Board of Missouri and Illinois at the St. Charles Convention Center.

Glisson, of rural Pocahontas, Ill. is a member of IBEW Local 309 out of Collinsville.
