Pro tip from the counter
Order by ceiling build-up: FB443F is for one layer of 1/2 in or 5/8 in drywall, FB443FD for double drywall. Put the single-drywall box under a double layer and the face ends up recessed behind the board, so confirm the ceiling spec on the drawings before the carton is pulled.
Best for: bedroom and living room fan locations, single-drywall ceilings under attics, tract and custom home rough-in, air-sealed new construction
