Easy to install fan junction box.
Would RecommendRACO 1-Gang metal ceiling fan junction box. The Retro Brace is adjustable for joist spacing 16 in to 24 in. Simple fastener for tightening outlet box and brace. I installed this in my shed. Going to put a ceiling fan up in it. Very easy to install.
Very impressed, well thought out.
Would RecommendI like the rating for weight stamped very clearly on the box. I instructions are also on the box itself so no paper inside that can get lost. The buttons on the bar for varying lengths are very handy. I also liked how the box and bar can be assembled with two slotted screws.
Great retrofit kit if it fits your fan weight.
Would RecommendRACO provides very good instructions for easy installation, see my picture. This item uses tension of an expandable screw rod into i-joists or standard joists at 16 to 24 inch joist span. There are 2 knockout circles for the existing wiring you need to pull through the pan for the fan assembly.

Ceiling brace and box
Would RecommendCeiling brace and box kit. Very simple to install. Just cut a 4 inch hole and push the bracket with the box attached. This one is low profile, great for tight spaces. Great for chandeliers and ceiling fans.

Perfect for remodeling jobs
Would RecommendThis box is perfect for installation of a fan without having to cut out drywall and open up a ceiling. It is slightly hard to open however, I believe it is the only way that it would work. Very sturdy I could almost hang off a bit after it was installed. I would highly recommend this product to family and friends.
Ceiling brace and box kit
Would RecommendThis ceiling fan brace kit is one of the best kits I’ve ever used. It was fast and convenient to install and extremely sturdy when installed. I would definitely recommend this to anyone.
A Great Problem Solver
Would RecommendAs an electrician for over 45 years, I’ve use a lot of “old work” fan boxes by various makes and models. Getting a brace box to handle a shallow mounting situation was always a challenge, and usually required modifying the brace by cutting the “legs” off, and combining a fan pancake box. This new product solves that problem and is a welcome addition to any on hand supply of electrical boxes.

Fan mount bracket
Would RecommendI recieved today 2-16-24. Bracket is adjustable. So u can move from side to side. Nails to the side of yoyr ceiling joists. Im in the middle of remodeling my kitchen. I wish it would have been here a week sooner, it would be up on my ceiling. Definitely worth buying.
It rocks!
Would RecommendDefinitely heavy duty, can handle the load of a fan, even at 24 inches span. However, if your ceiling hole is just a little larger than the box, it can rock in the hole, due to no locking mechanism on the shaft.
