Tools and Hardware Reviews of Westinghouse 0110000 Saf-T-Brace for Ceiling Fans
Customer Review: Superior to other brands...
Summary: 5 Stars
I have installed several ceiling fans in the last few years and this Westinghouse brace is FAR superior to the cheaper models you might find at places like Lowes. The Westinghouse has a solid, metal screw inside (as opposed to the L-Cheapo mechanisms inside other brands). It is very possible to strip the cheap brands by accidentally overtightening them BY HAND. Not so with the Westinghouse. It would take a hurculean effort to break the Westinghouse model by hand. That means you can get the brace really tight and dig its sharp tips deep into your wood studs. In addition, the Westinghouse has taller plastic feet on each end that support a much deeper electrical box. This is a big pluse for those of us who appreciate extra room to bend and tuck our wires. It is safer as well. The more breathing room your electrical box has, the less potential for heat buildup and the further you can move your neutral and ground wires away from your hot wire so the chance of contact and spark is reduced. But that's not all. The Westinghouse also comes with a black, plastic connector to grip your Romex cable so you don't need to remember to buy a connector. All in all a SUPER product.
Tips: Avoid using the knock-outs located directly below the two bolts that secure the electrical box to the brace. If you already popped the connector into the knock-out hole and pushed your Romex through it, you might have trouble getting a nut on the bolt above and tightening the nut. Fortunately, there are plenty of other knock-outs to choose from, even on the top of the electrical box. Also, when using the long screws (bolts) that mount your fan to the electrical box, you might want to throw a washer on each screw. The screw heads are a bit on the small side. If the plate your fan came with (that is used to mount your fan to the electrical box) has large holes, you might have an issue. Washers will solve that problem.

Design Provides Fast Fingertip Expansion and Positive Attachment to Joists
The Westinghouse Saf-T-Brace support box allows you to safely install your ceiling fan or lighting fixture without having to access attic space. Ideal for installation during new construction or remodeling, the mounting brace can also be installed in finished ceilings through a hole large enough to fit the brace.
The Safe-T-Brace has a patented design that provides fast fingertip expansion and positive attachment to existing ceiling joints between 16 and 24 inches wide. The brace's teeth easily twist and lock into the ceiling joists, its threaded multiple lead adjusts quickly, and its square tube allows for easy turning.
Brace Made of Quality, Durable Materials
Your home improvement work is only as good as the products you use. That's why the Safe-T-Brace is constructed from quality, durable materials. Designed to perform and last, this sturdy mounting brace provides a secure hold to ceiling joists, creating a strong foundation for your ceiling fan or lighting fixture.
The brace features a heavy-duty, all-metal 15-1/2-cubic-inch dual-mount electric box that can support any model of ceiling fan. The box has 8-32 threads for cover plates and lightweight lighting fixtures and 10-24 threads for ceiling fans and chandeliers. Arriving with all necessary mounting hardware, wire bushing, and instructions to get the job done right the first time, the Safe-T-Brace also features a Saf-T-Cap to protect the bolts and wires during painting and drywall installation.
