Orbit Industries SSB-T5 Ceiling Fan Brace 15-25 Inch

Product Description

The ORBIT INDUSTRIES SSB-T5 is an adjustable ceiling fan brace designed to provide a secure mounting point for ceiling fans and light fixtures in existing construction. The brace adjusts from 15 inches to 25 inches, allowing installation between joists without cutting into the ceiling. It is compatible with 4S, 5S, and 5-inch electrical boxes, making it a versatile solution for a range of standard residential and light commercial ceiling box configurations. Electricians and skilled trades installers use this brace when retrofitting ceiling fans or fixtures into finished ceilings where direct joist access is not available.

The SSB-T5 is suited for residential ceiling fan and fixture installations where the installer is working from below the ceiling surface. The adjustable span accommodates typical joist spacing found in standard residential framing. It is installed through an existing ceiling box opening and expanded until the brace seats firmly against the joists on both sides. This method eliminates the need to access the ceiling cavity from above, making it practical for retrofit and replacement projects.

• Adjustable span from 15 inches to 25 inches to fit standard joist spacing
• Compatible with 4S, 5S, and 5-inch electrical boxes

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed electrician. Power to the circuit must be shut off at the breaker before beginning work. The brace is inserted through the existing ceiling box opening and rotated to expand and lock against the joists. Ensure the brace is fully seated and rated for the weight of the fan or fixture being installed before attaching the electrical box and completing the hookup.
