Arlington Industries MB8 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Arlington MB8 mounting block support a ceiling fan, or is it only rated for light fixtures?
The MB8 is UL rated for a 70 lb ceiling fan and a 200 lb fixture. That covers essentially any residential or light commercial paddle fan, plus heavy chandeliers and multi-head fixtures up to 200 lb. The lower fan number reflects the dynamic side load a spinning fan puts on the mount, which is why it is listed separately from the static fixture rating.
2) Do I need a separate electrical box behind the Arlington MB8, or does it have one built in?
No separate box is needed. The MB8 is a mounting block with the electrical box built into it, so the block is both the wiring enclosure and the mounting surface. The box volume is 6.1 cubic inches, which is small, so count your conductors and device fill against that number before you pull wire, especially if you are splicing more than a simple feed and fixture leads.
3) Can I use the Arlington MB8 mounting block outdoors on a soffit or under an eave?
Yes. The MB8 is made of UV-rated plastic and is listed for interior or exterior use, so soffit-mounted flood lights, exterior fans, and porch fixtures are all in scope. The UV rating is the part that matters outdoors, it keeps the white plastic from chalking and going brittle in direct sun.
4) Is the Arlington MB8 listed for code compliance on an inspected job?
The MB8 carries both UL and CSA listings, and the load rating is a UL rating, which is what an inspector looks for on a fan-rated outlet. The CSA listing means it is also acceptable on Canadian work.
5) Is this a flush mount block or does it sit proud of the surface?
The MB8 is a flat mount style block, so it mounts on the surface rather than recessing into it. That is what makes it work on lap siding, stucco, and finished ceilings where you do not want to cut in a recessed box, and it is why it doubles as a level pad for fixtures going onto an irregular exterior surface.
6) Can I use the same block for smoke detectors and flood lights, or do I need different mounts?
One block covers all of it. Arlington lists the MB8 for flood lights, smoke detectors, fans, and light fixtures, interior or exterior. For property managers and MRO buyers that means a single SKU standardizes exterior lighting, detector mounts, and fan outlets across a portfolio instead of stocking three different mounting parts.
7) What color is the Arlington MB8 and is it made in the USA?
White, and made in the United States. The white finish is standard for soffit and ceiling work where it blends with painted trim; it is UV-rated plastic, so the color holds up in exterior sun. Domestic origin matters on government and institutional jobs carrying Buy American requirements.
8) What is the Arlington part number for the 8 inch fan and fixture mounting block?
The part number is MB8. That is the 8 inch round flat mount version with the integral 6.1 cubic inch box, rated 70 lb fan and 200 lb fixture.
