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.

I had two of these fans installed on normal height ceilings (8 ft.) using the enclosed 3 inch down rod. The bottom of the lights are 6' 5" above the floor. As I am 6 ft. tall they work fine for me. Of course they can be mounted without a down rod, gaining 3 inches, or with a longer down rod. I had them installed by an electrician who told me they have never had a problem with a hunter fan. I am pleased with the two that I have.

They are all the same style but different lengths and paint colors to choose from. The goal is to have the fan as low as possible to you (while still being safe) to give maximum airflow. The length of your downrod depends on if your ceiling is angled or not and by what angle. The blades need to safely clear the ceiling of course.

So we have a really short downrod. U need it to handle the vibration caused by the fan. Great fan thought. We haven them in our kid's rooms where the ceiling is not very high and it works great.

The down rod should be compatible with all ceiling fans. If u go to Lowes or home Depot they sell only one type of down rod it is the length of the rod that you can get in different sizes

No it can not. But, if you cut down the extension rod to the minimum length it will actually hang down less than a traditional looking flush mounted fan. What I did is a little bit of trial and error, trimming down the rod a bit at a time until i had it as short as possible. What limits you is the upper "cone" must go on first and then you must hook the fan to the ceiling bracket prior to securing the upper cone. A little tricky to try to explain, but I think I got the rod down to 2.5" or so in length.

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

A down rod give you space between the ceiling and the blades of the fan. If you have a low ceiling, you might need a 6" down rod or none at all. I have a very high ceiling. I used a 36" down rod to bring the fan lower into the room. There are guidelines for measuring how low a fan should be. With the one I used, I have plenty of head room. The fan looks beautiful and the balance in the room is right.

Mine came with a downrod of about 3 to 4 inches in length, which works great for a level ceiling. The blades are roughly 12 to 14 inches from the actual ceiling surface. However, if you are going to mount it on a vaulted ceiling, how low you want it to hang, plus how much of a pitch your ceiling has would be the determining factor. Hope this helps!

yes, as long as you meet the air space requirements. This would be from top of fan blades to ceiling and blade tip to ceiling.It would also require a longer down rod.

Yes you can. The device is recommended to mount between 8' and 12' ceiling.
1207361
Yes, it can. The fan swivels on a downrod, which on a level ceiling, leaves the blades 12.5" from the ceiling. I don't know the math, but that distance will be reduced by every degree of slope, but I would think most sloped ceilings will not be a problem.

We have ours installed with a 24" downrod on a 6/12 vaulted ceiling. If the pitch of your ceiling is flat enough, then a 12" downrod should be OK.

I had the same concern, wanting to mount this fan in a room with 8 foot ceilings. You cannot remove or shorten the downrod, it is needed for the clearance of the fan blades from the ceiling.but because the fan blades are mounted on the top of the motor you still have enough height from the floor.I have had this fan in operation for five months and really like it. It makes almost no noise.

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.

If by vaulted do you mean sloping ceiling? The answer is yes. As with all Hunters there is a single ball pivot on the inside so it should accommodate you needs.This a very very quiet fan, which is essential at our house. I installed it myself so know that it is heavy and MUST BE BOLTED INTO A BEAM, not just surface MOUNTED IN FLIMSY SHEET ROCK.GOOD LUCK.

Yes. Although not sure if you can flush mount it. I would just go to home depot or lowes and get a shorter down-rod. The rods come in white and various sizes. Great fan by the way.
