Heavy duty and pretty easy to install

Would Recommend

Nice heavy duty box to support my fan. I converted an existing small outdoor lighting box to support a new fan from Lowes. I had to increase the hole size of the existing opening by 1/2". The only fidgity part is getting the box aligned to the existing hole and then tensioning the box support without moving it around much. More than a 1/4" out of whack and you'll need to loosen the support and try to get it centered on the hole again. In general, though it was easy to install.

Sturdy and easy install

Would Recommend

These where very quick and easy to install. I used them where I replaced a light with a ceiling fan. They lock in very tight. I bought two and there is zero vibration or wobble in either fan

HBL Universal Fan Brace Kit Review

Would Recommend

The kit comes in a box with an expandable bar/rod, a “pancake’ metal box, a bracket to attach the pancake box to the bar, along with the necessary screws and a Romex protector insert to prevent the metal junction “pancake” box from cutting the insulation on the wires. The instructions are really very simple if you are familiar with how the bar/rod fits in the ceiling. I installed it between two rafters without drywall to show the proper configuration (see pic below). Installation: Cut a hole ...

Slim ceiling mount easy to install

Would Recommend

The slim ceiling mount is very easy to install. The turnbuckle installs simply between the ceiling joist by tightening it until the teeth dig into the wood. Once that is installed the box attaches and then you can mount the fixture.

Great product, easy to use.

Would Recommend

Great product to replace old plastic boxes that aren't able to handle a ceiling fan or heavy light fixture. Easy to install and assemble. These are my go-to when installing fans in older houses. Sturdy product.

This bracket is heavy duty, but...

Would Not Recommend

I took this to the job site. Went to install. Couldn't get it to extend. Could not push the button shown in photo, even with considerable force. Need to take it back to the shop and investigate. Time suck.

Response from Hubbell Product Expert

In order to push the buttons to remove the extender, the rod has to be unthreaded enough to pass the buttons, to allow for clearance. Read More

Quality "old work" universal fan / ceiling box

Would Recommend

Solid heavy duty construction. Weight load for light fixture is 110 lbs and ceiling fan is 70 lbs.We have a storage closet under a staircase that was built without a light so we decided to put one in. We needed the light's location to be temporary and adjustable so we could move the permanent light into it's final position once we made a fixture selection. It was great that the mounting box is 1/2 inch deep which will make it flush with the front of new installed drywall. The side cleats on the ...
