Covering a 12 inch by 12 inch square hole 2014-07-02
From Patricia:
I am putting in a new bathroom fan. I am wondering if a new light with a 15 inch diameter will cover the existing square hole which is 12 by 12 inches? If the existing hole is 11 1/2 by 11 1/2 inches?

Also, if the 15 inch diameter does not cover the 12 by 12 hole, what size diameter would?

Thank you.
