Review: Excellent worth every penny ! - Excellent product very easy to assemble and don’t have to go through the attic
Review: Worked better than advertised. - I just purchased two ceiling fans for my garage. These fans are replacing two original light fixtures. The light fixtures were not strong enough for a ceiling fan, so I purchased two of these kits. I just finished installing the first one. This fit fine for a 24" span. The original electrical box was nailed to the truss. I was suprised how closely I could get the new box to the truss plate. It is very adjustable. Also, one side is sitting on a truss plate and this holds on to the truss plate just fine. This support is strong, even at the 24" width. It is definitely going to work for the 52" fans that I have. The fan doesn't wobble or move a bit. It feels SOLID. This support was very easy to install. I've never done this before, and the hardest part was enlarging the hole in the drywall. I am very happy and I will buy this again the next time I install a ceiling fan. Hope this helps.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How much weight does it hold?**
A: So the closer together your ceiling trusses are the more secure and the more weight it will be able to hold. My trusses are at about the maximum spacing possible with this product and it is securely holding a fixture that is about 30 pounds. I believe it is rated for 50 total, which based on my experience it should be able to do.

**Q: are the ends plastic?**
A: No, they are metal

**Q: Can this be installed over truss plates?**
A: I believe that they can be installed over trust plates as long as you do not harm the structural integrity of the building. You would probably have to pre-drill the installation holes

**Q: Where can i purchase the 939 model?**
A: I couldn't find a retailer.  Suggest you write to Hubbell for the answer.
