No.... that is a standard 4" metal nail on. It could probably hold the weight but a fan is not a static load and requires heavier mounting screws.

2 sets of wires in ceiling box

[left]Removed an old light to install a ceiling fan. Box has 2 sets of wires in it. 1 has black white and bare. 2 nd has red black tan and green. The 2 blacks are capped together the green and bare are capped together. The white and tan were twisted together and capped with a light wire and the red was capped on the light. Do I use the red as the hot on ceiling fan and the white&tan withe white on fan and add green to the 2 greens that are capped together now? House built in 1975 I’m not sure why I have t sets of wires in box. [/left]
