Q:I need something deeper than a traditional fancake, but that will accept #10 & #8 screws, for a fan and light, respectively. Someone told me this box would work, but I only see #10's. Can you tell me if it will take #8's?

Answer This Question

A:  Dean, the box accepts both #8 and #10. There is a slide select on the box before you mount the box.

    Q:If the beam runs right through the center, which holes do I use for the for the 4 wood screws? Do I need to drill pilot holes for them?

    Answer This Question

    A:  Hi origami911, use the holes that are most convenient. Drilling pilot holes is a good idea to prevent splitting the joist.

      A:  Yes some tomes if you can't rotate the box so as the screw hole line up with the support joist

        Q:What is the point of having three of the five knockouts on the top surface that is intended to be screwed tight to a beam?

        Answer This Question

        A:  Hi Marco, the box is used with multiple braces and brackets. If you are using just the box to a beam, you would access the side KO's.

          A:  It won’t always be screwed to a beam. There are different situations with mounting and wiring the box so it provides options for whatever might be needed.

            sturdy box
            Exactly what I needed to mount a fan in my pavillion. Made the fan extra sturdy so it no longer moves around. Keeps water out and made well

              Worked Great For Our Needs
              We had to install a ceiling fan in our gazebo and needed an electrical box, so we chose the Commercial Electric Ceiling Fan Box with Metal Cover. This worked out perfectly and didn't break the bank. Great quality and we are pleased with the results.

                This is a heavy-duty ceiling fan electrical box designed to be attached to a wood stud and provide the necessary weight handling capacity for mounting a ceiling fan. It is built of heavy gauge metal and provides several options for screw and electric connections placement. Box comes with cover and mounting/ground screws and a Romex wire connector. Two metal ears on the box edges provide a good mounting surface for the fan plate. An economical study box to provide a very strong mount for your fan.

                I received my 1-1/2 in. Deep 15.3 cu. in. Ceiling Fan Box with Metal Cover. After opening the box and inspecting the item I can tell it is very heavy duty and will be able to support a ceiling fan with no problem. It came with all the hardware to install it. The instructions are wrote very well and they're easy to follow. I already have a couple ceiling fans installed in my house but when I install another one I will definitely use this ceiling fan box.
