Westinghouse Saf-T-Brace, 3 Teeth, Twist and Lock with 2-1/8 Inch Deep Box 0140000 Manual De Instruções

The Saf-T-Brace® easily installs through a 4" diameter hole in the ceiling. It is U.L. listed for fan support and 

exceeds the requirements of the National Electric Code for fans weighing up to 70 lbs., for lighting fixtures 

mounted on 16” center joists weighing up to 150 lbs., and lighting fixtures mounted on 24” center joists 

weighing up to 50 lbs.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Turn off electrical power at breaker!
If there is not a hole where you want to hang the fan, cut a hole in the sheetrock using the electrical box provided as a 

template. If no electricity is available, a swag kit or wire cover may be used.
  1.   Clear the installation area of insulation, wiring and existing lightweight bar hanger. Remove wire attached to the side of 

the joist where Saf-T-Brace® will attach. Insert Saf-T-Brace® through the sheetrock and onto the ceiling, centering square 

tube over the hole in the sheetrock (figure 1).

  2.   With both Saf-T-Brace® feet resting on the sheetrock, by hand only rotate the square tube until “teeth” are firmly locked 

into the joist; a 

7

⁄

8

" wrench may be required for the final turn to bring bar around to the flat side. Do not install using 

wrench. A flat side of tubing must be parallel to the sheetrock so that the box bracket will hang correctly (figure 2).

  3.   Snap the bracket over the square tube and center it over the hole (figure 3). Make sure the screws are pointed toward the 

hole in the sheetrock (figure 4).

  4.   Remove one knockout from electrical box and install connector. Pull the wire down through the hole and into the 

connector. Insert the electrical box into the hole and onto the bolts of the bracket (figure 5). Secure the box with the two 

nylon locknuts provided, tighten securely (figure 6). Do not overtighten. 

  5.   When you are ready to hang the fan or fixture, remove Saf-T-Cap®. Install fan or fixture screwing the 10-24 x 2.65" bolts 

into the threaded inserts, NOT THE ELECTRICAL BOX EARS! Box ears can be used to mount lightweight fixtures or cover 

plates. Finish installation according to fan or fixture manufacturer’s instructions.
