Arlington Industries FBRS415 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is 15.6 cubic inches enough box fill for a ceiling fan with a light kit and a switch loop?
The FBRS415 gives you 15.6 cubic inches of interior volume, which is the working room electricians expect for a fan and fixture rough-in. Count your conductors, clamps, and device yokes against NEC fill rules for the wire gauge you are running; at 15.6 cubic inches you have room for a typical 14 AWG fan feed plus a switch leg and grounds, but a box crowded with multiple 12 AWG home runs and a dimmer pigtail should be checked against the fill table before you close it up.
2) Does the Arlington FBRS415 fit joists that aren't on standard 16 inch centers?
The adjustable telescoping bracket is the point of this box. It spans varying joist spacing and nails off at both end plates, so you are not shimming or blocking to make a box land where the fan needs to be. No special hardware is required for standard new-construction framing.
3) Can I use the FBRS415 on a finished ceiling, or is it new construction only?
This is a new-construction box. The bracket nails to the joists from below the deck before the ceiling goes up, so you need open framing or access from above. On a remodel where you can reach the bracket depth, it will work; on a finished ceiling with no access, you want a retrofit fan brace that installs through the existing hole instead.
4) Is the Arlington FBRS415 fan box approved for use on a Canadian jobsite?
Both UL and CSA Listed, so it passes inspection on U.S. and Canadian projects without swapping to a different part number.
5) What size ceiling opening does the FBRS415 need, and how deep does it sit?
The box is 4.000 inches wide with a 2.658 inch height, an octagonal face that drops into the standard 4 inch ceiling opening most fan canopies and fixture plates are sized to cover. Plan your framing so the bracket clears anything running in the joist bay at that depth.
6) Will a steel fan box like the FBRS415 hold up in a damp or coastal building?
Construction is plated steel, silver finish, so it has corrosion resistance beyond bare steel and the structural strength to carry a fan rather than just a light fixture. For a property manager standardizing across a portfolio, the plating is what keeps boxes in humid mechanical spaces and coastal buildings from surface rusting in the bay.
7) How is the Arlington FBRS415 packaged if I'm buying for a multi-family rough-in?
Sold as single pieces, with a standard pack of 10. On an apartment or multi-family job where every unit gets a fan box in the living room and bedrooms, order in tens to match how it ships and keep the count clean per floor.
8) What is the manufacturer part number for the Arlington adjustable-bracket fan box?
FBRS415 is the Arlington Industries part number, and it is the only model on the line. Distributors and purchasing agents should order to FBRS415 exactly; the FBRS prefix covers the adjustable-bracket new-construction family, and the trailing digits identify this 15.6 cubic inch, 1-1/4 inch ceiling thickness version.
