Arlington Industries FB412 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What's the difference between the Arlington FB412 and FB423 fan and fixture boxes?
Box volume is the only thing separating them. The FB412 is a 14.4 cubic inch box and the FB423 is 19.5 cubic inch. Both are the same 4.250 inch black plastic fire-rated ceiling box for drywall. Pick by how many conductors and how much devices/clamp fill you have landing in the box: a simple fixture whip and a couple of splices lives fine in the 14.4, while a fan with a control run, a switch leg and grounds coming together is where the 19.5 earns its place.
2) Can I hang a ceiling fan from an Arlington FB412 or FB423 box?
Yes. Both the FB412 and FB423 are fan and fixture boxes, rated for ceiling fan support as well as luminaires. That is the distinction that matters in the ceiling: a standard lighting-only outlet box is not a fan support, and swapping a fan onto one is the most common failure in this trade. These are the boxes you use when a fan is going up or might go up later.
3) Will an Arlington fire-rated ceiling box work in a drywall ceiling with hat channel or furring strips?
That is exactly the framing these are built around. The Arlington fire-rated fan and fixture boxes mount in drywall ceilings run over furring strips or hat channel, rather than needing to land on a joist face. If your ceiling is a suspended drywall assembly on hat channel, this is the mounting method to use.
4) Is the Arlington FB412 fire-rated ceiling box approved for a fire-rated ceiling assembly?
It is a fire-rated box, and it carries both UL and CSA listings. That combination is what an inspector looks for when a fan or fixture penetrates a rated drywall ceiling in a multi-family corridor or a commercial tenant space. The CSA listing also means the same box is usable on Canadian jobs without sourcing a different part.
5) How much ceiling opening do I need to cut for an Arlington FB412 or FB423 box?
The box measures 4.250 inches by 4.250 inches, so lay out your cut to that square footprint. Both trade sizes, 14.4 and 19.5 cubic inch, share the same 4.250 inch face, which means a property that standardizes on these can cut one hole size across the building and choose box volume per opening.
6) Do I need a metal box for a ceiling fan, or is plastic acceptable?
The Arlington fan and fixture boxes are plastic, and that is the intended construction here, not a compromise. Plastic will not corrode in a concealed ceiling cavity, and being nonmetallic it removes the box itself from the grounding path, so your equipment grounds land on the fixture and the conductors. If your job spec specifically calls for a metallic box, that is a different part; if it calls for a listed fan-rated box, these qualify.
7) Which Arlington box should I install if the tenant might add a ceiling fan later?
Put in the fan-rated box now. Both the FB412 and FB423 support fans as well as fixtures, so specifying one at rough-in costs nothing in labor and avoids opening a finished fire-rated ceiling later to swap a light-only box. In multi-family and hospitality where fan retrofits get requested unit by unit, standardizing on the 19.5 cubic inch FB423 gives you the extra wire volume for the fan control run without changing the 4.250 inch cutout.
8) How many Arlington FB423 boxes come in a box, and can I buy just one?
Standard packaging on the Arlington fire-rated fan and fixture boxes is 25 pieces per pack. For a contractor doing a floor of apartments or a retail buildout that is a working quantity, but it is worth knowing before you order for a single-fixture service call.
9) Are Arlington fire-rated ceiling fan boxes made in the USA?
Yes, these are manufactured in the United States. On public and institutional work where domestic sourcing is a line item in the bid, that is the answer procurement is looking for on the fan box line.
10) Will the black Arlington ceiling box show through my fixture canopy?
The box is black, and it sits concealed above the ceiling plane with the fan canopy or fixture pan covering the opening. The color is a non-issue visually on a finished install; it matters more that the 4.250 inch face is fully covered by whatever canopy you are mounting.
