Review on πŸ”Œ Westinghouse Lighting 0105000 Saf-T-Box: Secure and Spacious Electrical Junction Box, 1-1/2 Inch Deep, Silver - 15.5 cu-in, 3.62 in L x 3.62 in W by Issac Smart

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The most durable ceiling fan installation box.

This is the most powerful ceiling fan available (rated at over 100 pounds). Installation requires access to the attic. It has plenty of room for cables (1-1/2 inches deep), built-in cable clamps, and uses solid threaded steel inserts that are riveted to the back of the box to mount the fan. Installation takes a little longer since the box isn't round (requires using a drywall saw to cut a hole). Otherwise, I find these boxes take just as long to install as more expensive modified boxes with an expandable bracket. The trick is there to cut a hole, insert a crate from the attic side and install the 2x4 between the ceiling joists, using temporary 1" spacers between the 2x4 and the drywall to ensure the spacing is correct.

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Upgrades
