Westinghouse Ceiling Fan Support for Southwire

The Westinghouse Lighting 0110000 Saf-T-Brace is designed for the secure installation of ceiling fans or lighting fixtures, eliminating the need for attic access. This product is particularly beneficial for new construction or remodeling projects, and it can also be installed in finished ceilings through an appropriately sized opening for the box.

This Saf-T-Brace comes equipped with a robust, all-metal electrical box that measures 1.5 inches in depth and offers a wiring capacity of 15.5 cubic inches. Its durable construction ensures a secure attachment to ceiling joists, creating a reliable foundation for your ceiling fan or light fixture. Additionally, the included Saf-T-Cap effectively safeguards bolts and wires during drywall installation and painting processes.

Specifically, the fan brace is UL listed to accommodate light fixtures weighing up to 150 pounds when installed on 16-inch centers and can support loads of up to 50 pounds on 24-inch centers. For ceiling fans, it is built to handle weights of up to 70 pounds. The brace also features dual mounting capabilities, providing 10-24 threads for supporting heavier fans and fixtures, and 8-32 threads suitable for cover plates and lighter lighting options. With a strong reputation as a trustworthy global brand, Westinghouse has established itself as an expert in lighting, consistently delivering products known for their exceptional quality, reliability, and functionality.

Complementing the Westinghouse Saf-T-Brace is the Southwire MSBFAN Fan Support, designed for maximum weights of 50 pounds. This support is depth adjustable and allows for a quicker installation than traditional nail-on boxes. It is ideally suited for mounting light fixtures, fans (specifically the MSBFAN), as well as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, making it a versatile addition to lighting projects.

One notable advantage of the Southwire support is its ability to be easily removed without causing damage to walls, which is particularly beneficial for retrofit applications. Constructed with extra-thick wall material, it offers enhanced stability and rigidity, making it a reliable solution for supporting moving loads. Furthermore, its deep design accommodates components for smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, as well as paddle fan mechanisms.

It’s essential to note that Madison Electric is now integrated into the Southwire family, and as such, product packaging may vary. However, whether you opt for the Westinghouse Saf-T-Brace or the Southwire MSBFAN support, both products provide secure installation options for ceiling fans and lighting fixtures while ensuring ease of use and reliability.

In summary, both the Westinghouse Saf-T-Brace and Southwire MSBFAN stand out as valuable tools in the realm of lighting fixture and ceiling fan installation. They provide users with durable, safe options that streamline the installation process, making them ideal choices for both new constructions and remodels alike.
