Ratings & Reviews for Hubbell RACO Galvanized steel Old work Ceiling fan Electrical Box

Sturdy Product.

It was suggested I get one of these for a ceiling fan installation, but the installer did not need it.

Works great saves time

Good setup great mount

Works great!

Worked great with the Hunter fan that we purchased for my son's room

nothing to it

very easy to install.

About as easy as it could be

I would give this 5 stars, but the first one I bought was missing a piece so I had to go back and exchange it. Other than that putting this thing up was easier than I thought it be all things considered.

Works well, but broken parts concerning.

I ordered 3 and two were delivered with the wings broken off. Doesn't make me feel entirely safe hanging a fan over my bed with it. It installed rather easily though and seemed quite sturdy though I do worry about fatigue of the pressure over time. We'll see! I also wish there were screw holes I could use to fasten this. The image looks like maybe it does now. But again, that's the part that broke off. So hopefully they also reinforced that?

Raco's usually good. Look elsewhere for this

Disliked! The round shaft is difficult to grasp, to rotate it to be tight, pressed against the trusses. Other brands have a hex shape that works more easily. Also, alignment of the box and box bracket was difficult to make perfect, which is necessary.

These are great!

It works

Used it to hang a small ceiling fan. Works as intended and was easy to install.

Relocated ceiling fixture.

Worked as designed.

Poorly made

Boxes to shallow doesn’t come flush with the ceiling yeah, have to buy an extension box to use it

Total waste.

A real pain to install. I had to climb into the attic to get it to sit right. Might as well saved money and bought the simple round box that nails to the truss.

Had to cut to fit 12 inch span

This is a fabulous product that was recommended by an electrician friend of mine after I told him about one of my ceiling fans falling. He said improperly installed fans with junction boxes not rated for the weight are far more common than people realize. So I used this box in that one bedroom on the 2nd floor of my home and checked my 3 other bedroom’s fans. While some were better mounted than others (heavy nails), none were truly rated for ceiling fans. Of my total 4 bedrooms, this produc...
