Hello.
A customer has two wall sconces to be installed. Short of opening up the wall and installing framing members which would need spackleing and painting, I'm hoping I can get by using the Raco 393 4" pancake ceiling fan box. My concern is that more then likely the wall is framed with 2x4's ( it's a high wall so may be 2x6's?). I'm wondering if I will be able to slide the old work brace in the 4" opening or will the 2x4 3 and 1/2 depth not allow me to get it in there? If it is successfully installed, I'm also wondering how I'm going to stop the box from turning. The fixtures this person purchased look like the Old 10" or so BR 40 Cylinder track lights that they use to make, that are supported from 2.5 -3' long arms. The fixtures will be pulling in a cantilever way ( probably the wrong word) which may cause the box brace to spin slighting and possibly opening up a gap between the fixture canopy and wall at the top of the canopy.
Has anyone had success installing a ceiling fan retrofit brace box in a wall.
A looked through Hubbell Raco but doesn't show a wall box with the same installation technique that I could find.
Thank you.
