The brace's teeth easily twist and lock into the ceiling joists, its threaded multiple lead adjusts quickly, and its patented square tube allows for easy turning.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful:  Heavy Duty product, Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Westinghouse 0140000 Saf-T-Brace For Ceiling Fans (Tools & Home Improvement) I researched and found this item and purchased it from Amazon due to the poor contruction of my new house. The overhead light fixtures were installed with very weak blue plastic electrical boxes which are not fan rated. This was the perfect solution. I pulled out the cheap plastic box and installed this brace. Very sturdy, heavy duty, product. It does exactly what is says it will do. GREAT PRODUCT!!!! Works surprisingly well., Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Westinghouse 0140000 Saf-T-Brace For Ceiling Fans (Tools & Home Improvement) Very useful and saved a lot of work. I had to adapt it since the joists it would connect with had metal plates where the teeth should bite. So I connected a flat ceiling fan rose instead of the included box and fitted it much lower (below the metal plates). It's an easy fix if you have the same situation. The best part is the whole contraption fits through a 4 inch hole before you expand it. Feels very sturdy. Excellent Box, By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Westinghouse 0140000 Saf-T-Brace For Ceiling Fans (Tools & Home Improvement) Sturdy, easy to install, exactly as advertised. I used this box to replace a ceiling light with a fan. Initially I planned to use the old light box since I purchased a somewhat small, light fan, however when I removed the old light I discovered the box was loose and of cheap quality. I was very happy with my decision to purchase this box. It went in without any issues and was very sturdy. |
