I ma bidding on installing 10 ceiling fans for a 2 story school.
The school was built in the mid 1950'S, walls and ceilings of second floor are built out of metal lathe and plaster /suspend ceiling on metal hat channel. there is an attic above the class rooms . wirng method would be M/C cable.
the question is
how would one mount a fan rated box and or fan box and brace in metal lathe and plaster aqnd how to support the box? there are no I beams or joist directly above where fan would be installed.
5 foot from ceiling to roof in attic. any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
