The adjustable hangar bar fit perfectly in the space above the ceiling. It was used to hang a fan.

Dont buy these boxes

My home was built in 2011 I have had 3 of these break where the plastic box is attached to the metal bar allowing the fixture to come out of the cieling. They fall apart and are a safety hazard.

It was east to adjust and level it with the wall. I used different screws wanted more support.

Hard shells are the only ones to use, so much stronger than the standard boxes.

It worked well in my retro-fit application. I needed to have a box for a lamp in the middle of two studs.

[Rewarded Review] Very solid non-conductive ceiling electrical box for mounting a light fixture or ceiling fan in "...

Very solid non-conductive ceiling electrical box for mounting a light fixture or ceiling fan in "new" work. It is standard 4 inch diameter x 3 inch deep with 5 access points for wiring entry/exit. It mounts by an adjustable bar hanger with a minimum extension of 10 inches to a maximum extension of 20 inches - perfect for mounting between joists on 16 inch centers. It can also be mounted to the side of a joist with nails then remove the hanging bar. There are 2 hammer in tabs and a hole at each end of the bar hanger to mount the box between joists. The locking screws on the box (accessed from inside) make it easy to slide the box side-to-side to accommodate placement anywhere between the joists. It is classified 2-HR-W-C and UL approved. It is also proudly made in the USA. Interesting side note - this is the same company that made the first "Hula Hoop" back in the 1950's.

The biggest reason for the three stars instead of five is how this packaged arrived at my house. I am not sure the condition it was in when it was picked up for shipping but the box was not square and had been crushed at some point. I think it was before shipping because the box had then been taped - a lot. It arrived with all of the pieces still in the box. Some of them had been bounced around so much that the rods had separated.

I have been using these ceiling boxes for years. When you are installing ceiling lights you often want them in just the right spot. You can take this off the bracket and nail to the ceiling joint or you can use the adjustable bracket to place the light exactly where you want it. I have used them to mount all kind of ceiling lights in new construction and have never had a problem. They are made by Carlson which always work well.
