Customer Reviews for Westinghouse 15.5 cu. in. Retrofit Ceiling Fan Saf-T-Brace

Rating provided by a verified purchaser

My ceiling fan hasn't fallen off the ceiling yet, so it works!

Would have been better if the bolt attaching the box to the bar had the ability to be secured to make the box easier to install

Would buy them again.

Holding our 24 lb. ceiling fan without incident thus far, for a month. Easy to install.

it was not hard drill hole and attach

Very good product, easy to install I was able to cut it to fit my project with a good metal saw. My ceiling fan is not moving / wobbling

What a great invention. You don’t have to cut a huge hole in your ceiling or crawl up in the attic. Worked just as expected. Awesome!

Easy to install! Made fan installation much easier,

Easy to install and sturdier than I expected. Used it for a outside fan/light on my back porch.

This brace worked great. I would use it again if needed.

This product worked very well for the installation of a leaded glass light fixture (30lbs.). Easy to adjust and mount through a 4" hole. Provided a strong and secure connection for the fixture!

Very easy to use - just cut a 4" hole in the ceiling and insert this brace per the instructions. Running the wiring took far longer and more work!

Looks nice, works nice.

Does the job and was easy to install.

Worked great! Did not need to go into attic.

Well made & easy to install.

Easy, sturdy and inexpensive, should be available in stores as well

Solid mount between existing ceiling joists to mount a ceiling fan with excellent strength!

I have an old century home with a tin ceiling that I didn’t want to tear up. This worked perfectly.

Great product. Why isn't this istocked in the store?

This fan safety brace worked perfect .Just what I needed.

Pretty sturdy and hold bigger fans

The first thing you need to know is that you do not need to install the Westinghouse 15.5 cu.in. Ceiling Fan Saf-T-Brace with the junction box in the center of the bar; you can locate the box anywhere on the square section of the bar. This is very important in cases like mine in which the plastic junction box to be replaced was simply nailed to a joist (or a roof truss 2by4 in my case) above the ceiling. I installed the bar with the screw-thread end against the 2by4 *opposite* the box, then attached the new box to the end of the bar where the old box had been. My only issue was with the plastic insert provided for the hole you punch out in the metal box, to keep the metal from chafing into your conduit (with the expected dire results). The instruction sheet didn't mention it, so I had to figure it out...and I could have used more than one, but I found a way to made do. But that's not worth taking a star off my rating. Otherwise, you'll find that the hardest part about installing this unit is getting the old junction box out. A shower of blown-in roofing insulation added to the entertainment of my installation, but didn't affect job completion.

Does the job

Was easy to install.
