Does anyone make an extension ring rated for hanging ceiling fans? Am
about to dive into rewiring upstairs bedrooms, and one of the things I'd
like to do is change the ceiling fixture boxes for fan-rated ones. Given
my druthers, I'd put extension rings on them as well, seeing as the house
was originally wired with switch legs so there's lots of wires in your
average ceiling box (and that is also the logical place to splice into a
circuit for future additions.) But before I truck down to the Real
Electrical Supply Place (which involves getting up at 0-dark-hundred so as
not to be late for work) I wanted to make sure they existed.


*I have never seen a fan rated extension box. There are deep fan boxes
available though, 4"octagonal x 2 1/8" deep. I think that I have seen them
at Home Depot.
