Is my outlet box suitable for a ceiling fan?
Good afternoon everyone,
We live in a condo building downtown and can't quite get an answer to whether or not this outlet box is rated/suitable for mounting a fan (the fan weighs 16 lbs). Obviously we can't see above the ceiling. Can somebody please assist?

Hi, my vote would be it is not, there are no 10X24 threads suitable for mounting the fan bracket.

Welcome to the forums.
With a straight shot into the box with the fixture bar off it's hard to tell the mounting style but it doesn't appear to be a fan rated box.
