Centaur CM-FS4PB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What's the difference between the flush mount and bar hanger versions of the Centaur 4 inch fan support box?
Two mounting options on the CM-FS4PB. The flush mount version is the bare box, which you fasten to existing structure, typical for remodel or where you already have blocking. The New Construction Bar Hanger version comes with a bar hanger that spans between joists, so you can position the fan location anywhere along the bar before the ceiling goes up. Same 4 inch round box and same 5.8 cubic inch capacity either way.
2) Can I use this fan box in a bathroom, on a covered porch, or anywhere damp?
No. The Centaur CM-FS4PB round fan support box is rated for dry locations only. For a covered patio, a bathroom over a tub or shower, or any damp or wet location, you need a box carrying the corresponding damp or wet location listing instead.
3) Does the Centaur CM-FS4PB come with knockouts for cable, or do I have to punch my own?
Knockouts are already there. The box is drawn steel, non-insulated, with multiple knockouts for cable entry and one outlet, and it's built to UL standard compliance per the manufacturer data. Overall footprint is 4 by 4 inches with a 0.5 inch depth.
4) Is 5.8 cubic inches enough box fill for a ceiling fan hookup?
It's tight, and that's the number to design to. At 5.8 cubic inches the CM-FS4PB suits a simple fan feed with a small conductor count. If you're landing a feed plus a switch leg plus a separate light leg and grounds, run the box fill calculation before you commit, because a shallow drawn box gives you no room to fudge it.
5) How many Centaur CM-FS4PB fan boxes come in a pack?
They ship 12 to a pack. If you're standardizing fan boxes across a multi-family or hospitality retrofit, that's the unit to order against your door-by-door count.
6) Is the Centaur 4 inch fan support box round or square?
Round box, in a 4 inch size, of the fan support type rather than a plain junction box. The listed outside measurements are 4 by 4 inches with a 0.5 inch depth, which is the square envelope around a 4 inch round body.
7) Where can I get the full spec sheet for the Centaur CM-FS4PB fan box?
Centaur publishes a datasheet for the CM-FS4PB, and ZenSupply hosts it at zensupply.com/content/pdf/tamco/centaur_datasheet_1128082.pdf. Go there for the manufacturer's own dimensional and listing detail if your inspector wants documentation on file.
