The Westinghouse Sidemount Plus Fan Box offers a reliable solution for safely installing ceiling fans or lighting fixtures without the need to access the attic space. With a design that ensures secure attachment to existing ceiling joists, this fan box is particularly suitable for new construction projects or remodeling efforts.

To install it in a finished ceiling, simply mount the included bracket to a joist using a 4-inch opening in the drywall. Afterward, you can pull the wiring into the box and remount it to the bracket for a secure hold.

One of the standout features of the Sidemount Plus Fan Box is its removable sidemount bracket, which simplifies the process of replacing existing nail-on boxes even when attic access is unavailable. To protect bolts and wires during drywall installation and painting, the box comes with a Saf-T-Cap, ensuring that everything remains intact throughout the process.
