    Anybody have a link to source the bracket? I haven’t been able to find the screw-tighten bracket locally.

    My builder had a fan on a box that the joist ran through! It straddles the actual board. So I had nowhere for the threaded stud to run up into and allow the wires to come out the top. I wound up drilling with a little spade bit to get relief for the wires.

    Rafters hold up the roof. Joist hold up the ceiling.

    HELP! What if I’m trying to use the swag hook in drywall for a very heavy chandelier? My electrical box is side mounted to a rafter but to hang the chandelier where I want, it would have to be hung from a swag hook in drywall. I’m nervous that the drywall won’t hold.....

      yeah I would be worried too. It is hard for me to develop a solve for you without actually seeing it

    I don't see the information about the support bracket. My chandelier weights @ 50 lbs. I'm not joking. Will it support that much weight?

  • @marzena5931
    @marzena5931 3 роки тому +1

    Can a chadalier of 20 lb be mounted to a single stud, and supported safely by two wooden screws, each of them 4.5" long?

      @flannelguydiy6458  3 роки тому

      if you are going into a beam, then it should be fine

  • @allthingsfrench1391
    @allthingsfrench1391 Місяць тому

    What I don't get is why isn't there something that simply goes over the top of the joists to help with support instead of that gadget in between. 🤔

    The wood in the picture is not a rafter that would be a ceiling joist. I know you know that,but a newbie might be confused.

      yes when you are recording a video, sometimes you mis-speak while thinking about everything you are trying to say

    Im an electrician please dont use these brackets unless you can lift the light with 1 arm its worth paying someone to go into the attic and install a real bracket with screws I personally dont trust these.
