Abstract: A horizontally extending brace secured across ceiling beams is coupled with an externally threaded metal rod whose lower ends extend into an electrical box rated at a given weight limit to thread with a reducing coupler at one end, at an opposite end of which a nipple is arranged to thread, with the nipple receiving the electrical cables passing upwardly from an electrical fixture connected with it, such that the weight of the fixture threaded to the nipple is supported substantially only by the coupler, the nipple, the metal rod and the horizontally extending brace, and not by the electrical box.
