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
113343
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.
113348
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.

Hello,With an overall height of 16.75", Top to Bottom this Minka Aire F905-DK XL5 Artemis Ceiling Fan will be too large for an 8' Ceiling. We would recommend the Minka Aire F803-DK Artemis Distressed Koa Fan which has a height of only 12" and would work fine for a 8' ceiling and captures the same cool modern design of the larger XL5.Thank you,ALCOVE LIGHTING

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.

I have three of these fans mounted in a vaulted ceiling. I bought this adaptor for $10 at Home Depot and it worked great. NuTone Model # CFSABSInternet # 202944264 Sloped Brushed Steel Ceiling Fan Adapter

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.

It depends on the pitch...but you would probably want a downrod. It only handle a few inches lower. We have a vaulted ceiling and bought a 12 inch down rod (different fan).

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.

This fan can be installed with a down rod. I have it installed in our family room with an 18 in down rod.

We have 8' ceilings and I'm just under 6 feet tall and I'm far enough from the ceiling (probably at least 8-10 inches). However, be careful if you have a fan!

Hunter does not make an 8" downrod. They make downrods in 12" increments up to 72" with the inclusion of an 18" downrod. The fan comes with a 3" downrod, which is sufficient for standard 8 foot high ceilings. If your ceiling is 9 feet or higher, add a downrod with a length of 12" for every foot above 8 feet.

This fan might be at 8 feet when installed on your ceiling. As the down rod is 6 inches it self . Hope this info will help you with your decision :0)

Hi Triloron,Thanks for the question. We're not sure what that reviewer meant, but the shortest downrod you can use is 3 1/2" and is included. As far as ceiling height requirements, this fan requires a minimum ceiling height of at least 92.5" in order to meet building codes. If your ceiling is lower than 92.5" then you may consider a different fan, especially because this fan cannot be flushmounted. We hope this helps.Triloron, if you have any other questions, or would like to place an order, please reach out to one of our awesome experts.

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.

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.

Don't think so from what I recall. The downrod is only about 2.5inches from the ceiling mount cap. Very, very, very short downrod. You wouldn't gain anything if it could mount closer.

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

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.
