sloped ceiling install: Can this fan be installed on a sloped/vaulted ceiling?

according to the lighting direct website for their Discus in British Bronze, it can be mounted on up to a 33 pitch ceiling, further sloping requires a kit. Hope that helps!

If you are careful during installation and follow directions, it should be fine on a slightly sloped ceiling.

I checked with my husband, who actually installed the fan. Basically he said that the issue would be getting the right ceiling mount kit, one that would compensate for the sloped ceiling. Without knowing what kind of sloped ceiling you have (gently sloped? cathedral ceiling?), it's difficult to be more specific than that. Basically, I think any fan can be installed on any ceiling if you have the correct mounting kit. Ceiling fans need a lot of support and there are many ways to compensate if your ceiling is problematic in any way (such as retrofit ceiling fan "Saf-T-Brace"). I hope this helps somewhat. Good luck!

The unit has brackets on the top but you will need bolts to secure it to the ceiling. As for running the fan only, the unit is not designed for that purpose.Thanks,SHurail HVAC 952-884-8266

According to instruction, No. I beleive this is becasue the louvers are not designed for Vertical. The fan itself will work either way.

Yes! My ceiling is actually sloped as well. Looks great!It does change the shape, but it still looks cool. I've gotten a lot of compliments on it ;)

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.

Possibly, but I don't think the manufacturer intended it to be mounted that way. You'd need to contrive a way to keep it from falling out of the duct opening. As well, there usually is no electrical outlet nearby at the ceiling level. Better might be to get a different kind of unit, such as an In-line booster, with an air pressure switch to sense when the furnace fan comes on. Trickier to install, but more likely to do the job correctly.

t don't see why it cannot be mounted vertically unless that position puts more wear on the bearings in the fan motor. I am very happy with the one I bought and installed last fall.

Yes. This can be installed as a low profile fan if you purchase the shorter 3 inch extender tube and use it in place of the longer tube that comes with the fan.

It does not fit a sloped ceiling since the "ball" fitting is inside the upper housing. You can try mounting on a sloped ceiling but the upper housing that covers the electrical connections is set screwed to the extension rod and the whole assembly swings. I hope the answer was clear.

yes it can be. there are directions in the box how to do it. mine not installed on sloped ceilling though.

If you are installing it at the peak of the ceiliing, you will need a large flat area to mount it to. Also, the width of the peak will hav to be wide enough to accomodated the width of the assembled fixture.If you want to install this on the actual slope of the ceiling, I wouldn't recommend it. I think the weight of the crystals would distort the shape of the wire metal arms that they are attached to at the ends.

Yes. my ceiling was sloped. i bought a down rod at Home Depot (I think it was 12")

I installed mine in a 16x24 great room with cathedral ceiling on a 6' down rod. It makes a nice breeze on the lowest setting, and is a dramatic visual addition to the room. The CFM rating as well as the installation height both affect the "feel" of the air movement, so go with whichever fan you prefer the look of. BTW, if your ceiling is sloped significantly, you will need the steep ceiling adapter bracket.

Minka-Aire does make a sloped ceiling adapter to install this fan on a slope ceiling. You would need to order part number A245-BS to hang this fan on a sloped ceiling.

As shown in the product description, the fan can be installed in the standard, flush or angled positions. My fan was installed without using the down rod and looks great, since I preferred the fan to be closer to the ceiling of my outdoor patio.
