Product Information

DHL (if available): Letters, parcels or pallets, our logistics partner DHL offers a solution for any shipment. Obviously that would involve some intricate "dental" work in close quarters that would be impossible if the box didn't separate, but the separation of box and bracket may allow that.

A 5x50mm is on the biggish size for holding up a light fitting, it tends to be 4mm screws I use at a length appropriate to grip into the timber. Place one end of the block in the old junction box and tap the other end of the block with the hammer until the box pops free in your ceiling cavity. EDIT: I noticed the packaging says to use a box rated for a 35lb or less fan, so this is not a very heavy fan. I am wondering do I need to reinforce the joists at all or is this sufficient to hang a ceiling fan of average weight?Even when purchasing a single heater, it will be delivered on a pallet in an attempt to ensure no damage is caused during transit due to the weight of the unit and also the weight of the bricks to be fitted into the unit on installation. And then a ‘split lock washer’, this split section applies pressure to underside of screw head and locks it in place. Not sure if the head will be on show, if so you might want to get a pack of chrome screw caps to cover the screw head, again from our host. It would not be long until the successful company began to establish subsidiaries all over the world.

A direct mounting on a dropped ceiling without any additonal support in-between could lead to resonance sounds or an unstable hold of the fan on the ceiling, because the carrying material does not offer enough stability in this case. Please edit to add further details, such as citations or documentation, so that others can confirm that your answer is correct. That old box and pipe seem pretty beefy, but I know fans are heavy and motion can wear things down over time.

Description Ridge Fixing Bracket for use with Ceiling Fans• This bracket is used for fixing a ceiling fan to a conservatory roof that does not have a solid fixing point on the underside of the ridge ie. In some cases, we may offer a partial refund to cover the remaining part of any existing warranty rather than a replacement.

From the picture, the only thing holding the fan's weight is a brass nipple and nut with only 2-3 threads. Today's couriers, due to stringent Health and Safety restrictions, who are employed to deliver your storage heater, are contracted to deliver to the external front of your property only and are not contracted to maneuver these heavy items into your house or to their final locations. If you can find a way to install it exactly and fully as the instructions state, that would be fine.However, unless this is an open ceiling, that will (a) have the box dropping below the finished ceiling and (b) not look very nice. You cut away the drywall to match the circular outline of the box and you would have to patch the old hole. The correct paperwork can then be sent and these photographs will ensure that replacements or refunds can then be processed with a minimum of delay. You can always contact us after this time to see if it is still possible - we are keen to help where we can. I have an old house, I was hanging a light that was 10 pound, but didn't want to do it without a beam / stud to hold it up.

though, at least, as the load path is primarily up through the pipe running over the joist then under the crossbeam.Of course not, but in those tiny number of cases, you'll find we pull all of the stops out to put things right for you. The only risks I see now are 1) the fan bracket failing, which seems unlikely since it is designed to be a fan bracket, or 2) The threads in the nut or pipe somehow strip, which also seems unlikely given they are steel. You also get the nice advantage of more flexibility for placement of the fan, though if you are making use of an existing hole in the ceiling then that is a non-issue. The problem is not the simple strength of the ceiling joists - we'll presume that even a single joist is strong enough to hold up a fan.
