The Side mount bracket is removable for easy replacement of existing nail-on boxes without attic access. The kit is UL listed to support fans up to 70 lbs. and light fixtures up to 150 lbs. It includes 10-24 threads for heavier fans and fixtures and 8-32 threads for cover plates and lightweight lighting fixtures. Material: Steel.
