Hi - do I need to purchase a down rod if I am replacing an existing (white) ceiling fan? Thank you.

Hello! If your down rod is not 3/4" in diameter, you'll need to buy a new one. If there is anything else we can help with, please let us know! Lighting and Locks 1-800-334-5804

I have two of these, one I installed with a down rod and the other I did not. So far I have not had any issues w/ either of them but I understand the air flow might be better if you install the down rod.

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.

Hello! Some generic ones from Lowes might work, but it is always a good idea to get a downrod for a fan from the fan's manufacturer to be sure of 100% compatibility. The item number for the downrod you need is DR536-ORB. If there is anything else we can help with, please let us know! Lighting and Locks 1-800-334-5804

It did come with a very short down rod. It still needs a small flat space to mount it. Slightly larger than the electrical box as I recall. Just not as big of a flat space as some fans. Longer down rods can be purchased at any home improvement store for not much money.

Andrew, my ceiling is sloped and it is 11-ft where we put the ceiling fan. It only comes with a short down rod. I did purchase a longer down rod from a local distributor. I think it is 2 ft, but I can't remember exactly. It was under $20. The fan is great. Our electrician used everything that came with the fan even with the ceiling sloped and it works perfect. Only have to purchase a longer down rod. You must get the casablanca down rod. The others from the big box stores will not work properly. Hope this helps.

It is recommend in purchasing down-rods from the same brand as your fan so the down-rod will fit properly and the finishes will match.

It comes with a small down rod about 4 inches long. You need to use it to have a minimum fan-tip to ceiling clearance of 1 foot for unrestricted air flow.

I couldn't find a down rod in the Tuscan Gold finish at either Home Depot or Lowe's so I picked out the closest match. I would recommend taking the 3" down rod that came with the fan to the store and go with the closest color.

You are able to choose between a few down rod options which you can purchase at a major hardware store for around $12. I bought 2 sizes and had my electrician eye it with me in the room to choose the correct height.

The down-rod cannot be removed as it holds the fan up but, you can cut the down-rod down if you need to. Just cut to desired length and re-drill the hole in the rod for the safety pin.Thank you,Mike H.

I bought an extra longer down rod from Hunter but it was not needed with my vaulted ceiling as everything fit fine with their standard down rod.

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
