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.

Ok just looked at the instruction manualThere are instructions for a vaulted ceiling but it does say that may require longer downrod

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.

Hi AMT,Thanks for the question. This fan requires a minimum ceiling height of at least 94.52" in order to meet building codes. If your ceiling is 8ft then it is 96", so you should be fine. We hope this helps. If you need anything else, please reach out to one of our awesome experts. Not only do they know everything, they're also literally sitting right next to their phones right now :)Hansen Wholesale1-800-201-1193

I am looking at my fan right now. It is obvious that if it were mounted on a sloping ceiling that sloped more than a tiny amount- say 5 degrees, the fan blades would hit the ceiling. You could, of course, mount it on a rod that dropped from the ceiling, but the rod would likely sway as the blades of the fan start to spin. Thus, you would have to brace the rod somehow, but doing so would ruin the aesthetics of the fan. The only solution I can think of would be to have a carpenter install a beam near the apex of the roof- kind of like a tie rod-- and mount your fan to that.

The blades on tho fan are heavy and sharp. It will not flush mount, and it should only be installed well out of anyone's reach. I bought five, and they are nice fans, but all are mounted 15' off floor level. I would not recommend that they be installed on an 8' ceiling regardless of mounting method.

You have to figure out how far from your ceiling you want the fan mounted. If it's a high ceiling get a longer down rod if it's regulsr height the ones with the fan should be OK.

You shouldn't have a problem but make sure you use a stud finder to place it under a beam or you'll have problems. There is a vaulted ceiling attachment you can buy and screw into your ceiling.

u could install the transformer and the four track supports on an incline,,, the supports will attach perpendicular to your ceiling,,, there is no way to break perpendicularity between track and supports, butthe wire coming out of the support will follow gravity and will hang down straight. I don't know if IM being clear enough,, the three wires will hang down straight but the track-transformer-support assembly must be parallel with your ceiling

Hi Raegan Isaac, thanks for the question. This fan requires a minimum ceiling height of at least 96.76" in order to meet building codes. If your ceiling is lower than 96.76" (at 7.5 feet you're at 90 inches) then you may need to add a flushmount adapter. If you cannot find what you need to make this fan work in your room, please give us a call so we can check to see if there are any further alternatives. Our experts will know exactly what to do.

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

Hello P. Kumar, Thank you for your inquiry. The Minka Aire F900-BCW ceiling fan comes with a 3.5" and 16" downrod. You may purchase longer downrods if necessary separately. They go by different part numbers depending on the size/finish. What is your ceiling height in the room you will be placing this in? We will suggest the down-rod that best suits this area to get the maximum air flow for your ceiling height and the fan. Thank you.

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.

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.

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.

Hi Jeannie,Yes. The fan is supplied with 3.5" and 6" down rods. DR512-ORB (12"), DR518-ORB (18"), DR524-ORB (24"), DR536-ORB(36"), DR548-ORB (48"), DR560-ORB (60"), and DR572-ORB (72"), down rods are compatible. A down rod coupler DR500-ORB is also available.

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.
