Ever stared at a ceiling fan install knowing you'd have to squeeze into a dusty attic? Yeah, not fun. The Westinghouse Saf-T-Brace changes that completely, letting you secure your fan or light fixture right from below.
Standard installs often demand attic access, which means ladders, tight spaces, and potential damage to insulation or wiring. For renters, older homes, or anyone avoiding that headache, it's a non-starter. Plus, weak joist supports can lead to wobbles or safety issues down the line.
This clever brace features three teeth that twist and lock onto ceiling joists—no attic required. Cut a hole big enough for the box, slide it in, and twist until it's rock-solid. The 1-1/2-inch-deep electrical box offers 15.5 cubic inches of wiring space, plenty for most setups. Dual threading (10-24 for heavy fans, 8-32 for lights) ensures compatibility.
Made entirely of metal, it's UL-listed to handle light fixtures up to 150 pounds on 16-inch centers (50 pounds on 24-inch). For fans, it supports up to 70 pounds safely. The included Saf-T-Cap shields bolts and wires during drywall sanding and painting, saving cleanup time. Westinghouse's reputation means reliability you can trust—no flimsy plastic here.
Remodeling a kitchen? Install pendant lights without disrupting finished ceilings. Updating a bedroom fan? Swap it out mid-project seamlessly. New construction? Speed through electrical rough-ins. It's versatile for drop ceilings too, and the silver finish blends in. Users rave about how it simplifies jobs that used to take hours into minutes.
Whether you're a DIYer tackling weekend projects or a pro streamlining installs, this brace delivers stability and ease. No more compromising on safety or convenience—grab the Saf-T-Brace and mount with confidence.
