Work from a stepladder and mark the upper edges of the main runners at each side of the opening in the grid at the location of the fan. Measure the width of the ceiling fan chassis and add 8 inches. Slide the mounting stems at the lower edge of the fan in or out, as necessary, so the outer ends of each are 4 inches from the corresponding sides of the chassis.
Depending on the fan's manufacturer, slide the stems by hand or loosen small setscrews with a screwdriver to slide the stems, then retighten them.
Position the fan above the grid bars with the port for the exhaust duct facing the correct way. Refer to the HVAC plan to determine which way the port faces, if necessary. Mark the upper edges of the ceiling grid at each side of the opening at locations that align with the ends of the mounting stems. Install inch support bars atop the grid at each set of corresponding marks on the grid. To do this, position the bars perpendicular to the main runners at each side of the opening at the marks.

Location United States, Indiana. Are there brands of bath exhaust fans made to be installed in suspended ceilings? Many have no brackets. Do I use a suspended ceiling light box bracket? Or do some fans come with brackets adaptable to ceiling grid? Thank you. You could DIY by simply adding metal or wooden crossbars with sheet metal screws to the fan housing that rest on the tile and extend over the grid rails. Some kits may offer bars similar to what you'd get with a recessed light canister. You'd also need to create clearance in the drywall ceiling.
If there's no insulation there, that's easy. Just give yourself enough room to work and hack out a rectangle. If you're in an insulated ceiling you'll need to box it out and be sure to replace the insulation above, along with any vapor barrier present. Sign up to join this community.
