Last night was at least the 2nd time I had trouble with a Westinghouse old work fan box, with spreader bracket. These brackets consistently work well with 16" joists, but often lose their rigidity on a 24" spread. Not a fall hazard, but bracket can flex up & down a half inch or so. I try not to over tighten, don't want to move joists & rupture drywall. But had to go tighter to lessen the wobble.
Has anyone seen the Stryker boxes lately? They were among the first of these boxes & I think they did better on long spans. Came in a black & yellow package.
