My ceiling is vaulted and the recommended height for the fan to be above floor level is 8ft, so is it possible to connect several downrods together

No. Unfortunately they can't be from what I saw. We have a vaulted as well and ordered the length of downrod the installer suggested and the fan looks great.

It's not a good idea to connect several downroads. 8ft is a minimum for a ceiling fan. I bought a 72" downroad for my 19' great room. It looks and works great.

No Cannot connect Several Downrods. Depending on your ceiling height will depend on the size of your downrod. I used a 24 inch downrod on a 11' ceiling and it is a good height. Ceiling Height Downrod Length 9ft. or less standard down rod (3 inches) 10ft. - 11ft. 1 ft. rod or standard if preferred 11ft. - 12ft. 18" - 24" down rod 12ft. - 14ft. 36" down rod 14ft. - 16ft. 48" down rod 16ft. + 72" down rod 17ft. + Custom down rod

I wouldn't think you could because the end going into the fan is threaded and the ceiling end is not. My fan is 12-13 feet above the floor and I don't have any problems with airflow (heating or cooling). I think if you could extend the rod, you may have problems with sway, but I do believe you can buy longer rods. Just my thought

I'm no expert, but a fan can be fitted to any ceiling unless it is too low. Down rods come in many lengths. If you are going to DIY then ask your local hardware supply store what you need. My ceiling is vaulted and I have 2 fans mounted with single rods. I don't know if they are at 8' or not. They seem to work fine.

No. For rods to connect, they would have to screw into one another. However, while one end has screw threads, the inside of the other end does not. As others have said, you'll have to get a single rod of the right length.

By checking the directions, I think you must use a downrod, but they include a shorter downroad for fans installed close to the ceiling. Absolutely flush does not look like an option.

From floor to bottom of light fixture is 6'11". Do not have the answer to the down rod question. Fans were hung by an electrician. If there was more than 1 rod size I was unaware.

Ok just looked at the instruction manualThere are instructions for a vaulted ceiling but it does say that may require longer downrod

The Metropolitan ceiling fan comes with a 12" and 6" down-rod standard. With a 6" down-rod and the motors oriented downward the fan hangs 16 1/2" down from ceiling (ceiling to bottom point of the fan).Thank you,Michael H.Dan's Fan City

It would be close probably ok if you set it up so head is between joists. I have plent of clearance with a 8" ceiling and am 6"2 and short legs all upper body I do have to move away from a ceiling fan that hangs down a little more than a foot. It is a great price of equipment though and would highly recommend it if you have the space

u could install the transformer and the four track supports on an incline,,, the supports will attach perpendicular to your ceiling,,, there is no way to break perpendicularity between track and supports, butthe wire coming out of the support will follow gravity and will hang down straight. I don't know if IM being clear enough,, the three wires will hang down straight but the track-transformer-support assembly must be parallel with your ceiling

Hello,With an overall height of 16.75", Top to Bottom this Minka Aire F905-DK XL5 Artemis Ceiling Fan will be too large for an 8' Ceiling. We would recommend the Minka Aire F803-DK Artemis Distressed Koa Fan which has a height of only 12" and would work fine for a 8' ceiling and captures the same cool modern design of the larger XL5.Thank you,ALCOVE LIGHTING

It can not be installed without a down rod, if that is what you are asking. My fan only had one down rod included with it. I didn't use it because I purchased a 4 ft. rod for my cathedral ceiling. As I recall the one that was included was about 6 inches long. I am very pleased with the look and performance of the fan. The only change I made was to buy white glass globes to replace the original because I felt they were too dark.

This fan is a ceiling flush-mounted. I would not recommend this for a vaulted ceiling. Get a fan that hangs 'on a stick' down from the ceiling.

Hi Ed,Thanks for the question. This fan requires a minimum ceiling height of at least 92.5" in order to meet building codes, so you should be fine because 8.5 feet measures 102". Also, this fan cannot be flush mounted, but again, you should be just fine with your ceiling height.

Hunter does not make an 8" downrod. They make downrods in 12" increments up to 72" with the inclusion of an 18" downrod. The fan comes with a 3" downrod, which is sufficient for standard 8 foot high ceilings. If your ceiling is 9 feet or higher, add a downrod with a length of 12" for every foot above 8 feet.

You shouldn't have a problem but make sure you use a stud finder to place it under a beam or you'll have problems. There is a vaulted ceiling attachment you can buy and screw into your ceiling.

You may be able to find a shorter downrod, but i think you need it. The fan sits pretty close to the ceiling as is, with the included downrod. Good luck

We have 8' ceilings and I'm just under 6 feet tall and I'm far enough from the ceiling (probably at least 8-10 inches). However, be careful if you have a fan!
