	Subject - ceiling fan boxes CooCooMike I don't have a 2005 code yet,and was wondering what the ruling was for ceiling fan boxes.Is it all boxes 6' from a wall or something like that? Electricman Mike ? kbsparky NEC 314.27(D) Outlet boxes or outlet box systems used as the sole support of a ceiling-suspended (paddle) fan shall be listed, shall be marked by their manufacturer as suitable for this purpose, and shall not support ceiling-suspended (paddle) fans that weigh more than 32 kg (70lb). For outlet boxes or outlet box systems designed to support .... more than 16 kg (35 lb), the required marking shall include the maximum weight to be supported. Nowhere does it mention anything about distances from a wall. <shrug> CooCooMike Gotta get me an 05.Got them going back to 81
