box marked: “ACCEPTABLE FOR FAN SUPPORT” and use mounting screws provided with
the outlet box. Most outlet boxes commonly used for the support of lighting fixtures are not
acceptable for fan support and may need to be replaced. Consult a qualified electrician if in
doubt. Secure the outlet box directly to the building structure. The outlet box and its support
must be able to support the moving weight of the fan (at least 35 lbs.). Do NOT use a plastic
outlet box.
