Arlington Industries FBRS40712R – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will an Arlington FBRS40712R fan box mount between wood I-joists?
That's exactly what the FBRS40712R is built for. The steel pan box ships with an adjustable bracket that spans engineered wood I-joists rather than sawn lumber, and the bracket adjusts across a 12 to 16 inch spacing range, so it covers both 16 inch on center framing and tighter layouts. If your joists are spaced wider than 16 inches, this bracket won't reach and you need a longer-span hanger bar instead.
2) Is the Arlington FBRS40712R rated to hang a ceiling fan, or is it fixture only?
It's a fan and fixture box, steel bodied with a bracket that fastens to the joist rather than to drywall, which is what separates a fan-rated box from an ordinary lighting outlet box. The unit carries both UL and CSA listings. Match the fan manufacturer's stated weight to the box rating marked on the product before you hang it, since fan weight limits are set on the box marking.
3) Can I use a wood I-joist fan box like the Arlington FBRS40712R in a retrofit through an existing ceiling?
Not comfortably. The FBRS40712R bracket is meant to be set from above or from an open ceiling and fastened to the I-joists at 12 to 16 inch spacing, which is a new construction or gut sequence. For cutting into a finished ceiling with the drywall staying up, you want an old work fan brace that expands into the cavity through the fixture hole instead.
4) How much room do I need above the ceiling for the Arlington FBRS40712R pan box?
Plan on 4.250 inches of height and 9.250 inches of width for the assembly. The height figure is what matters most on a retrofit: if you're working in a shallow cavity or under a subfloor with limited clearance between the I-joist flanges, measure it before you commit. The 9.250 inch dimension is the span of the bracket assembly across the joist bay.
5) Does the Arlington FBRS40712R meet code for a commercial job spec that calls for listed boxes?
UL and CSA listings both apply to the FBRS40712R, so it satisfies a spec calling for a listed outlet box and it's acceptable on Canadian work as well as US. That dual listing is the reason it shows up on multi-family and institutional submittals where a US-only listing gets kicked back.
6) What is the difference between the Arlington FBRS40712R and a fan box for standard dimensional lumber joists?
The difference is the bracket, not the box. Engineered wood I-joists have a thin web and narrow flanges, so a bracket sized for the wide face of a 2x10 doesn't land right on them. The FBRS40712R bracket is made to fasten to I-joist framing over a 12 to 16 inch span. On conventional 2x sawn joists, a standard bar hanger fan box is the correct part.
7) How many Arlington FBRS40712R fan boxes come in a box, and what does each one weigh?
Each unit weighs 2.200 lbs, and the standard factory pack is 10 pieces, though they're sold individually as single pieces. For an electrician roughing in a floor of apartments, the 10 pack is the natural buy unit; a property manager replacing one fan box wants the single.
8) Will the silver steel finish on the Arlington fan box hold up in a garage or unconditioned space?
The FBRS40712R is steel with a silver protective finish that resists corrosion in ordinary dry interior locations. It isn't a weatherproof or wet-location enclosure, so for an exposed exterior soffit, a covered patio fan, or anywhere subject to damp or wet location rules, specify a box listed for that location instead.
