Did anyone install the fan with an extension rod? I have a 13 foot high ceiling and my existing fan uses a 36" long extension rod.

I used a 24 inch extension and than felt it was to long thus went with a 12 inch. I do not see why it would not work but you may have to add wiring if you are going to drop 3 feet from ceiling, Fan is quiet and also does not vibrate thus I can not see why it would not work,

I used the shortest extension to keep it tight to the ceiling. You will need to extend wiring to use the 36" rod.

If you need to extend the wiring, the simplest solution would be to use 14-16 gauge butt splices. If you order them from Amazon, this is the product link: See-Through Nylon Insulated Butt Connector Solderless Wire Terminal 16-14 Gauge (Blue) - 100 Pack

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.

You can purchase extensions at hardware stores to enable the fan to hang lower. I have seen up to 4 ft of these extensions.

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.

The standard 3/4" extension rods sold at Home Depot and Lowe's fit this fan. The white color matches the white fan.

The down rod should be compatible with all ceiling fans. If u go to Lowes or home Depot they sell only one type of down rod it is the length of the rod that you can get in different sizes

A down rod give you space between the ceiling and the blades of the fan. If you have a low ceiling, you might need a 6" down rod or none at all. I have a very high ceiling. I used a 36" down rod to bring the fan lower into the room. There are guidelines for measuring how low a fan should be. With the one I used, I have plenty of head room. The fan looks beautiful and the balance in the room is right.

The way you see it pictured is considered flush mount but not using the extension rod. They do make true "flush mount fans" but they come down just as far if not further off the ceiling. This particular one really comes down pretty far so I would only recommend it if you have a 7 1/2 foot ceiling or more or in an area that would not cause injury to someone that is taller. I love ours and it is beautiful looking. Make sure you have enough clearance were you intend to install it with or without the extension rod

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.

I believe it means the long rod pictured between the ceiling and the fan. I'll try to post a photo of the one we installed. It has a rod but it's only a few inches. The fan is not missing any parts needed to install it though. It's a great fan!

The fan comes with two rods and I believe that you have to use one of the rods to install.

Hello. While I can't promise favorable results, I did order this based on the model number although my existing fan/light was a number of years old, and in my case was able to have it installed in the existing space without incident. Best of luck.

I installed it on a vaulted ceiling and did have to get creative to make a longer support rod. I used a stainless steel tubing that was close to the same size. Then instead of set screw to hold the rod I drilled a hole through the holder and the tubing and inserted a pin.

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

18" is correct. This is for use on a standard ceiling height. For higher ceilings you can use the longer down rods. In my case, although the ceiling is over 10' high, there is an interior 16" beam that runs the length of the ridge, so I used the short down rod and attached the fan to the bottom of the beam. The fan looks great, works great, and as my review states, I really do have two Hunter fans that have been in continuous use for 38 and 36 years.

Is it new construction? The fan box is large and does not fit well in a tight spot. You have to cut out excess drywall, about 2-3'' more on one end of the installation area to fit the fan in the ceiling.

This fan is supplied with one 3.5" and one 6" downrod. If you need a longer length, you can also purchase them separately. Thanks -Chelsea
