Installing ceiling fan with joists too close apart for ceiling brace kit
I am trying to install a ceiling fan (about 17lb). The outlet box was plastic
and probably not rated for ceiling fan so I have it knocked out and was planning to use a ceiling brace kit. However I noticed that the joists was too close apart and the bar of the brace kit is too long. One joist is flushed to the edge of the hole. I wonder if I can just screw a metal outlet box to it. Will that be strong enough as the support is going to be only on one side of the outlet box. -- for full context, visit https://www.homeownershub.com/mainte...i-1168300-.htm |
