Arlington Industries FBA426 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Arlington FBA426 fan box work in a fire-rated ceiling assembly?
Yes. The FBA426 is a fire-rated round fan and fixture box carrying a 2-hour rating, and it is UL listed. That is what lets it go into a rated ceiling assembly in multi-family, healthcare, or education work where a standard non-rated box would break the rating. It is a black plastic box, so no separate fire-rated putty pad is being described here, the rating belongs to the box itself.
2) Is 21 cubic inches enough box fill for a ceiling fan with a light kit?
The FBA426 gives you 21.0 cu. in. of volume. That is the number you run your box fill calculation against: count the conductors, the clamps, the device yoke, and the equipment grounds per code and confirm they land inside 21.0. For a straightforward fan feed with one supply and the fan whip it is workable; for a fan with a separately switched light kit pulling a three-wire feed plus a downstream run, do the math before you commit, because the added conductors are what pushes a 21 cu. in. box over.
3) What size opening does the Arlington FBA426 ceiling box need?
The box measures 4.800 inches wide and 4.000 inches high. Cut and frame to the 4.8 inch dimension, not to a nominal 4 inch round, or the box will not seat. Worth checking against the existing hole if you are swapping out an old 4 inch pancake or octagon box, since those are often cut smaller.
4) Do I have to buy a case of Arlington FBA426 boxes or can I get one?
Standard packaging on the FBA426 is 25 pieces per unit. Each box weighs 0.618 lbs, so a full 25-count carton is light enough to carry up a ladder in one trip. For a single fan replacement the case quantity is worth knowing up front, it is a stocking pack aimed at contractors doing multiple openings.
5) Can I use a plastic box for a ceiling fan instead of a metal one?
A non-metallic fan box like the FBA426 is fine for fan support where it is listed for that use, and this one is a UL listed fan and fixture box. Plastic has two practical advantages over steel overhead: it does not corrode, and at 0.618 lbs it is easier to handle across a lot of openings. Where you would still reach for a metal box is anywhere you need the box itself to carry an equipment ground path, since a plastic box has no metal to bond, so bring your ground to the fixture.
6) Will one Arlington FBA426 work for both a ceiling fan and a plain light fixture?
It covers both. The FBA426 is a combination fan and fixture box, so a contractor roughing in a run of ceiling outlets can use the same part whether the owner ends up hanging a fan or a flush-mount light. For property managers standardizing across units, that means one part number on the shelf instead of two, and every opening stays fan-ready if a tenant later wants one.
7) Is the Arlington FBA426 made in the USA?
Yes, the FBA426 fan and fixture box is manufactured in the United States. That is the answer institutional and government buyers need when a job carries a domestic sourcing requirement on the bid.
8) What is the Arlington part number for the 21 cubic inch 2-hour fire-rated round fan box?
FBA426. That is the Arlington Industries designation for the round, adjustable, 2-hour fire-rated fan and fixture box at 21.0 cu. in. Use that number when matching a spec or reordering to keep the rated assembly consistent across a building.
