Ratings & Reviews for Hubbell RACO Plastic New work Saddle boxes Electrical Box

Saddle box for ceiling fan

This makes installing ceiling fans so much easier. Once installed on the 2x4, it allows for the proper support for your fan.

Works great easy install

Added a ceiling fan to old construction. Screws included and holds my new ceiling fan solid.

Ceiling fan box

Accidentally got This box and found it surprisingly strong. The placement over a 2x4 is extremely stable. Can be a problem if placement desired is not exactly over a 2x4

Great

Got it for the guy installing my ceiling fans so it must work

Twice as much than the competition.

The box works fine for the application but the price stinks. I had to argue with costumer service to match the price and she refused because the picture looked slightly different that the actual product. Luckily the great guy at the register agree with me and matched the price.

Surprised

I am surprised the strength of this. Will recommend.

Old Work - Box too narrow

As with a couple other reviews, I purchased this for 'old work' and found the joist just a bit too wide. Not sure if the other brand is wider, but it would be good for RACO to note this on the box since it seems to be a fairly common issue. The box itself, the instructions, and design over seem very good, but I just can't get it over my joist to sit adjacent to the wood.

Ceiling fan mounting box

This is the ideal box to use when hanging a ceiling fan. It provides the assurance that the fan will not fall because the rafter holds the weight. The screws that come with it are an added advantage for a convenient purchase.

I'm elated

This product has successfully kept five whirring fan blades from descending upon us in a torrential frenzy while we sleep peacefully in the bed below.

Box on Joist Installation

This box is well made and has the screws needed for a good, solid mounting. CAUTION: If you have an old,old house with REAL 2x6(8) joists, this box will NOT fit over the old (2) sized lumber, only the 1 5/8" lumber.

perfect for problematic wall stud location

I used these when I replaced light fixtures in two bathrooms. Unfortunately, the stud location made centering the fixtures over the sinks problematic. Thankfully, this junction box straddles the stud, and I was able to center my fixtures perfectly.

Solves the problem

The ceiling electric box isn't only for ceiling fans. For those DIYers this is the perfect box to use for light fixtures on a wall when your wall stud has unfortunately ended up in the same location your are wanting to put a light fixture up and would have used a electrical light box. It is actually a tighter fit. So next time a stud is in the center of your lighting project simply use the ceiling electrical box.

Buy the Carlon I bought this and returned.

There are no instructions for installation even on the web site for this product. You will notice that there are no screws for this model in the photo. There are some in the box but not the ones you need to hang the mounting bracket for the fan. However, if you look at the carlon you will notice that it does have screws for mounting which is kind of important.
