Home ceiling fans need the support to be safe to be used. A standard, circuit box that is unsupported doesn’t have enough power to hold a ceiling lamp. Including a support between the joists lets you put the fan in which you would like it at the ceiling. Placing in when you have access into the loft above the 14, a support is different than placing one in without the loft access.
Attic Access
Drill a hole into the ceiling and up into the loft of where the fan goes in the middle. Poke at up the timber pole and tape it so that it holds steady.
Find the wood pole from above from the loft. Saw a circle round the wood pole that matches the diameter of your circuit box.
So that when you lay the support beam the circuit box is directly over the pit Twist the circuit box. Twist the Romex — both the electrical wire — into the tapout onto the box’s side and pull at about 12 inches. Secure the Romex based on the type of box which you have, possibly with a strap or a nut. Wrap the Romex heading back to the power supply the support column and from the way up and round. Unless you’re very familiar with installing electrical systems, it’s best to have the Romex is attached by a skilled individual into the power supply. When you’ve got the supply prior to completing the next steps, installed, then be sure to turn off the circuit breaker.
Place the support beam between the joists and nail it securely into position with the Romex. Depending on the type of joists you’ve got, it may be much easier to use hangers to support the small beam between the joists.
Return to the room where you’re installing the enthusiast. Install the mounting base of the enthusiast to the circuit box with screws. Lift the fan motor into the ceiling and rest it on the mounting base hook.
Cut the Romex wire back so that you have enough to associate with the fan cables. Peel about 3/8-inch of insulation from the circuit box cables and use a wire nut to connect the white wire of the Romex with the white wire of the fan, and the black and black wires together. Screw the motor to the mounting base and attach the fan blades since the enthusiast instructions indicate.
No Attic Access
Where the fan motor foundation will be located, drill a pilot hole at the middle of the circle. Saw a circle round the pilot hole sized large enough to fit the circuit box.
Push the expandable brace through the pit and orient it so that the ends of the brace are pointed to each side of the pit in the joists. As you spin onto the brace, it expands, and the sharp, built in nails on the brace ends dig in the wood. Till you’ve got a secure link to the 14, Proceed to spin.
Mount the circuit box to the brace with the hardware. Employ a professional electrician to connect it into the power supply and down a wall to conduct the Romex across the ceiling.
Connect the fan motor to the electrical wires and the mounting base to the circuit box as was completed in Steps 5 and 6 of Part 1.
