The Carlon B620HG-UPC is a 4-inch diameter, 2-1/4-inch deep electrical box with a 20 cubic-inch capacity, specifically designed for new construction.

Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation of the Carlon B620HG-UPC Ceiling Fan Box:
- Preparation: Ensure power is disconnected at the main circuit breaker. Identify the desired location for the ceiling fan or fixture. This box is for "new work" installations, meaning it is installed before drywall or other finished surfaces.
- Positioning the Hanger Bar: The integrated adjustable bar hanger is designed to span between two ceiling joists. Position the bar hanger so the fan box is centered where the fixture will be installed.
- Securing the Hanger Bar: Extend the bar hanger to fit snugly between the joists. Secure the ends of the bar hanger to the joists using appropriate fasteners (not included), ensuring the box is firmly supported. The bar hanger adjusts from 11.5 inches to 14.5 inches.
- Wiring Entry: Knockouts are provided on the box for non-metallic sheathed cable entry. Select the appropriate knockout, remove it, and insert the cable into the box, ensuring at least 6 inches of conductor length extends beyond the box.
- Connecting Wires: Follow the wiring instructions provided with your ceiling fan or light fixture. Ensure all connections are secure and properly insulated. This box is permissible for use with 90°C connectors.
- Mounting Fixture: Once wiring is complete and secured, mount the ceiling fan or light fixture to the box using the provided mounting screws. Ensure the fixture is securely attached to the box.
- Final Steps: Restore power at the circuit breaker and test the fixture.
Operating Instructions
The Carlon B620HG-UPC Ceiling Fan Box is a passive component designed to safely house electrical connections and support a ceiling fan or light fixture.

- No Power: Check the circuit breaker for the affected circuit. Reset if tripped.
- Loose Connections: With power disconnected, carefully inspect the wiring connections inside the box to ensure they are secure.
