Carlon CFB-16-8 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the Carlon CFB-16 ceiling box rated to hold a ceiling fan, or just a light fixture?
The CFB-16 is a ceiling fan box, built with a saddle type body that mounts to the joist for fan support rather than relying on a pancake ring or a standard light box. It carries a UL listing under file e11461. If you are only hanging a light fixture, a standard round box will do the job; the fan box matters when there is rotating, vibrating load on the mount.
2) Does the Carlon CFB-16 fan box come with knockouts for conduit?
No knockouts. The CFB-16 ships with zero knockout openings, so cable has to enter through the box's own cable entry provisions rather than a punched KO with a connector. If your job requires EMT or flex terminating into the box with a conduit connector, this is not the enclosure for that opening.
3) How many conductors will a 16 cubic inch ceiling fan box hold?
The CFB-16 gives you 16 cubic inches of box volume, which is what you work from when you run the NEC box fill calculation for your conductors, clamps, and fixture leads. Two 14/2 cables plus a fan's leads and grounds fit comfortably; if you are splicing several circuits through the same box you may run out of volume and need a larger enclosure.
4) What is the difference between the Carlon CFB-16, CFB-16-8, CFB-16-F-30 and CFB-16-FR?
They are all 16 cubic inch Carlon saddle type fan boxes ordered under different model suffixes: CFB-16, CFB-16-8, CFB-16-F-30, CFB-16-FR and CFB-16FR-12R. The base CFB-16 is the single-box order. When you spec one, quote the exact suffix, because the model code is what determines the pack and configuration you receive.
5) Can I use the Carlon fan box for apartment and multi-family ceiling fan retrofits?
Yes. The CFB-16 is used for residential and commercial ceiling fan mounting, including multi-unit residential, offices, retail and hospitality, and education buildings. For a property manager standardizing fan mounts across many units, ordering one model code across the whole fleet keeps the install identical from door to door.
6) Is the Carlon CFB-16 ceiling fan box made in the USA?
Yes, the CFB-16 is manufactured in the United States and sold under the Carlon / Nutek brand label. That matters on federal, state and institutional jobs where domestic sourcing is written into the spec.
7) What color is the Carlon CFB-16 fan box, and does it matter for exposed ceilings?
Black. In an open-plenum or exposed-structure ceiling where the box stays visible, the black body reads less obviously than a white or gray enclosure. In a finished drywall ceiling it is covered by the fan canopy anyway.
