Does a down rod have to be used with this fan? We have low ceilings and would prefer to mount right on the ceiling..

It comes with a low profile down rod and a standard but you do need a down rod.

This fan comes with short down rod about 3 inches for mounting close to the ceiling, but it has to be mounted with a down rod (two included). If you have a regular flat ceiling, it should work fine. If your ceiling is sloped, you'll need a longer down rod (sold separately).

Hello! The fan does not come with a 18" down rod, but you can definitely order one here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001CAFVW4 . If there is anything else we can help with, please let us know! Lighting and Locks 1-800-334-5804

If I understand correctly what you are asking, the answer is yes. I did not use a down rod on mine because it is a 9 foot patio ceiling. But there is a cap that covers the wiring and screws into the ceiling that I believe the down rod has to connect to.

It does not appear it w as designed to mount up side down but it does work ok in that position. It appears to have slotted type holes for mounting on the wall. If you do mount it on the ceiling holes would need to be drilled through the plastic base. I use the fan as a table mount .

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.

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.

This fan is not a flush mount fan. You can use a down rod with it. We used a 12" down rod. We've been very happy with this fan.

I mounted it directly to the ceiling because of height restrictions. This is a nice fan and really works well at moving the air.

We have a 16" cathedral ceiling and used a 60" down rod. 16" may work with a flat ceiling but that will leave the fan 19-20' off the floor.

I have an 18 foot ceiling and I bought an extra long rod. I don't recall a rod coming with the fan. The fan is powerful enough to call even at 18 feet but I would suggest a 2 ft rod

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.

It uses a downrod. We two of these fans. In one room we have an approximately 4" downrod and the other a 12" downrod. It's a good fan.

I bought the extention rod but ended up using the 6 inch down rod. The 6 inch rod and the fact that the fan in on the bottom of the light puts the fan blades about 18' down from the ceiling. Unless you have a really high ceiling 9' plus. You don't need the extention rod.

Can be installed with or without light kit. It also comes with a matching cap that says Hunter on the bottom. The only thing extra you may have to buy is depending on the height and or sloop of you ceiling. If over 45 degree pitch, you will need another down rod. I install in my master bedroom which has 10 foot ceiling with a 45 degree pitch, very easy to install, are you replacing another fan with this unit? Bottom line, easy to install, and look's good also, and you can't beat the price. Hope this helps, good luck.

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.

No, the fan would be at an angle and would not operate properly. This fan does not have a rod that extends down. It mounts flush to the ceiling.

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.
