What Customers Are Saying
The ceiling fan electrical box is generally easy to install and use, with a solid and sturdy construction that can securely support the weight of a ceiling fan. Many customers found the setup straightforward, with the box sliding into the existing hole and extending as needed. However, some users encountered challenges such as short screws, difficulty aligning the box, or issues with the adjustable rod design. The product may not work as well for certain ceiling types like those with trusses instead of joists.

I’ve used several of these style expanding fan braces in the past. They all work about the same if your ceiling joists are 16in on center, but ours supporting the second floor above us are 12in. Out of the box this won’t fit, but it is easy to remove the set screw, remove the non-threaded end, and cut both the tube and threaded rod inside it down with a sawzall with a metal tooth blade. I cut the assembly down to 9”, popped the end back on, and it installed easily in my 12in on center joist spac...
