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.

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.

Yes it can. Just be aware that the included 3" downrod might be too short, depending on the angle of your ceiling. I purchased the matching 12" downrod to give the blades adequate clearance on the low side of the slope. Ideally you want a minimum of two feet spacing from blades to ceiling for best air movement, but a minimum of eight feet from blades to the floor (for safety reasons). Of course, if you have really high ceilings you will want a much longer downrod as you don't want the fan too high up to do any good.

Thank you for your question, Nicholas. Unfortunately, this fan can only be installed using downrods. The minimum overall hanging height of this fan is 13.5" with the use of the 3.5" downrod that is included.

We would recommend ordering a down-rod from the same manufacture to guarantee compatibility. Also, the finish of the down-rod from Minka Aire will match exactly to the fan.

Yes, but you will have to buy a longer downrod separately. The length will depend on the slope of the ceiling and how low you want it to hang.

Hi Ed,Thanks for the question. This fan requires a minimum ceiling height of at least 92.5" in order to meet building codes, so you should be fine because 8.5 feet measures 102". Also, this fan cannot be flush mounted, but again, you should be just fine with your ceiling height.

Not sure what problems you are concerned about? When I installed two fans in my house each transmitter was programmed to a single fan. It was simply install and use the transmitter. I have vaulted ceilings over 15' high I used a 48" extension and did not have any issues with the transmitter or receiver on the fan.

No. The hole would need to be enlarged to 10+ inches for the main body of the fan. However, the hole needs to be quite a bit larger than that to install the brackets which run between the joists. It may be possible to work from floor above. Keep in mind you may need additional wiring for all the lighting options.

By checking the directions, I think you must use a downrod, but they include a shorter downroad for fans installed close to the ceiling. Absolutely flush does not look like an option.

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.

Yes, this fan can be mounted on a sloped ceiling with the use of an optional longer downrod. Hunter fans come with a standard downrod for typical installations (approx. 3 inches). For higher or angled ceilings, you can add an optional longer downrod. Optional longer downrods are available from any Lowes, Home Depot or similar store and on Amazon.com. They are available in 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 60 and 72 inch lengths. Please contact us directly for info about shipping to Canada.

I do not see why not, My ceiling is flat, but the vaulted ceiling will have the same box for the light to be connected. The part that attaches to the ceiling is standard size and covers just the box. It was not difficult to install and you can adjust the height. They look awesome, very modern.

The wires probably had 2 feet or so of length. You WILL need more for a ft down rod. But great fan! You'll love it.

This fan is a ceiling flush-mounted. I would not recommend this for a vaulted ceiling. Get a fan that hangs 'on a stick' down from the ceiling.

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.
