How are you all getting this flushed mounted to the ceiling? Do I need a special base kit to get this done?Similar like San Antonio Mom has hers

Thank you for your interest in this item. This can be mounted with a ceiling arm, but is recommended to have an arm.

The ALFI brand RAIN12S-BSS is meant to be used with a wall or ceiling shower arm. You can also flush mounted but you will need to speak with your installer to accommodate it your needs.You can use the ALFI brand AB8SC-BN or AB12SC ceiling shower arms.

Derrick, this rain shower head was installed as part of a bathroom addition, so I bought it from amazon.com and a plumber installed it. My contractor said to purchase a 1/2 inch male nipple to install it flush like mine.

We have fairly High ceilings in the bathroom where this is mounted. I ordered a 6" straight down rod to match - also from amazon. It is an house that I purchased as a flip so I havens used it Put my Plumber who installed it thought it was a great value

Hello! There are close-to-ceiling kits available, but they require the shortest down rod that's included in the fan, the 3.5" one, and it won't really be too much shorter with the kit installed than with the shortest down rod. If there is anything else we can help with, please let us know! Lighting and Locks 1-800-334-5804.

We mounted it on hangers. Mounting on ceiling May need an electrician to do the task. Easier to mont on hangers . Anyway, let us know whether it can be done. So far have not heard anyone doing it.

I adjusted the height of my tube. I cut the threaded insert down to about 1 inch and completely removed the pole. This allows the light to sit close to the ceiling, but not flush, that way light can go up onto the ceiling. I posted pictures of this on my review.

You have to install a small hook in the ceiling. I myself purchased a really nice white one. I suggest putting in a mount first so the hook can hold better.

I would say its pretty simple... The hardest part is proper install. If you are going to ceiling mount you need to be sure you have a way to plug it in, it sounds simple but I didn't think about that when I set mine up... Anyways hope this helps a little bit.

You just need the straight arm and desired length. We have an 8 ft ceiling and purchased the 6 inch pipe. combined with the depth of the showerhead, it is about 8 inches from the ceiling. If you have a 9 ft ceiling, you may want to look for a 10 inch pipe. IMO, anything longer would look out of place. This is a great showerhead providing a gentle, drenching shower which i think is what you want for a ceiling mount. Some other ceiling mount showerheads denote a fully body spray which IMO should be for the wall mount and this for the ceiling to offer different variations with the gentler spray from the ceiling.

Using the shortest post provided in the package (which i believe is considered their flushmount), my fan measures 17" to the bottom of the light bowl. Though, the kit does come with the option to not use the lights if you so chose, which could gain you back another 5-6".I also have 8 ft ceilings.

Nothing additional needed. Just cut the hole in the ceiling and mount. Note, I had the luxury of being able to access from the top (via the attic), nonetheless, I'm sure you could mount this from with in the bathroom too. Good luck!

I don't think there was a flush mount option. I think it needs the space for air to circulate for the heater. Could be wrong but if it had that option I think we would have gone with it. It hangs down pretty far and if you are tall you might hit the light. Our ceiling is 8' as well. It is a beautiful fan/heater and we were happy when we found it and are still very happy with it.

Instructions say it cannot be installed on angled or vaulted ceilings. It has to be flushmount only on a regular ceiling.

Hi there,Thanks for the question. This fan is a "flushmount only" fan. That means it cannot be installed with a downrod of any kind, and must be flushmounted to the ceiling. We hope this helps!If you have any other questions, or would like to place an order, please reach out to one of our awesome reps. Not only do they know everything, they'll also be able to give you the best price over the phone. Oh, and they're literally sitting right next to their phones right now :)Hansen Wholesale1-800-201-1193

I used a cheap water gun to spray up very high, and then a long pole and brush to spread it around and lightly scrub. Get the house wet first. Some sprayers have adjustable tips - hoping to find one that will spray further so I don't need to go the water gun route this time. BTW, dollar stores carry (in warm weather) cheap water toys with good range.

The explanation by D adams is excellent. You may not need any other. The thing is, we have an old row home built in 1920. The kitchen has an old plaster ceiling with drywall over it. The joists did not line up where we wanted to mount the pot rack. We wanted it centered between two windows. My husband mounted a nice piece of wood into the joists on the ceiling first. Then he drilled into that to screw the i hooks in the wood. So far so good. It's been two years and holding. I have cast iron frying pans hanging on all four corners, then there's stainless pots in between and my roasting pans and grill utensils in the top basket. Good luck, Ken!

I could not find anything in the instructions that mentioned a flush mount or how to mount the unit flush (against the ceiling) so I used the shortest drop rod. My ceiling height in the small bedroom I installed this unit in would not allow me to use the light kit as I would be bumping my head into it as it would hang too low. The ceiling fan works great without the light kit and looks very nice, but I would have preferred a light that I could have used. Also instructions for installing the fan without the light are not in the supplied instructions, you must get them online, which I found irritating. It's very simple, but it should be included on the instruction sheet.

Hi, I'm sure that you could use the swag kit. I will attach a web site that may help you.http://www.doityourself.com/stry/instaling-ceiling-fan-with-swag-kit.Hope this helps

I didnt mount this exact speaker in the ceiling, but I did box in between the rafters and mounted my other speakers. I have my room and living room done with these flush mount speakers. This exact one, I use as a center channel and I love it! But you need to limit the air space in the wall for all of these speakers for best sound results! If you want to save some money, look at the Micca speakers!
