The Arlington FBR415F puts an 18.3 cu in non-metallic vapour box on an adjustable steel bracket, so a fan or light can be centred in a room without adding blocking. It suits single drywall ceilings, seals to the air barrier with a gasketed flange, and is CSA rated for a 50 lb fan or fixture at 16 to 24 in joist spacing, the rating to use on Canadian jobs.
Why electricians pick it
- Adjustable steel bracket fastens between wood or steel joists for a secure mount off-centre of framing.
- CSA rated 50 lb fan or fixture at 16 to 24 in on centre; UL rated 70 lb fan and 90 lb fixture at 24 in.
- Flange with gasket material helps stop air leakage at ceiling penetrations.
- Arlington lists a 2-hour fire rating.
- Includes two NM94 connectors, a mud cover, gaskets and screws for the fan or fixture bracket.

Pro tip from the counter
Leave the mud cover in place through taping and ceiling texture. It keeps compound out of the box and off the captive fan-bracket screws, which saves chasing stripped or gummed threads when the fan goes up weeks later.
Best for: centred ceiling fans and lights, single-drywall ceilings under attics, new homes with engineered or steel joists, air-sealed builds
