Can this be a hugger fan? We have 8 ft ceilings in two rooms that need a fan...will the short rod work? I'm a measuring idiot...

With the included short rod the distance from ceiling to bottom of fan is roughly 13 in.

Did you ever receive an answer to the question above... I am wanting to know the answer myself???

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.

I don't think this type of fan should be used for a high ceiling. We have a slanted high ceiling and this fan is too small. I put this fan by an ac vent so it would circulate the air. It is perfect for what we expected. Ceiling is also low. Remember blades are small. I hope this helps.

NO! it is designed for a down rod. The short down rod supplied will get closeenough to the ceiling. If you're 6'4" you will be just fine with the fan mounted toan eight foot ceiling

We used the shorter downrod, but it matches perfectly. It is a beautiful fan that even our handyman commented on. I don't install anything, so I can't speak on the difficulty. I did go shopping at one of our local lighting shops for a bathroom fixture and wandered into their "fan" room. The exact same fan cost just under twice as much

I put 3 of these fans in house in Florida with 12 ft ceilings and used a 2 ft downrod. (FYI - best fans ever. No wobble becuz the downrod end is triangular insuring it's stability!) I know I cut off a lot of extra wire but can't guaranty the total wire was longer than 6 ft. Recommend you hit up the Hunter Fan people. They're pretty good at getting back to me when I had questions about compatible light fixtures for certain fans. Link to customer service here. http://www.hunterfan.com/Support/Contact-Us/

Yes, I have a home built in 1980, had small inadequate fans in stalled in bathrooms, maybe 30pm if lucky. I installed a 7 cm in the small bathroom and a 90 in the larger. You need to cut a 2X ft hole in the ceiling for adequate hand room. The original fans were hammered into the frame so mine were a real pain to take out, but once out, new ones are are easy in.

Our ceilings are 8' and the pole works fine. There is a threaded rod that inserts into the pole at the top, and I don't remember how far it is inserted into our pole. I'm pretty sure that another 4 or 5 inches is inserted in the pole, which would let it extend to nearly 8' 6". There may be even more than that inserted into the pole. The pole is a good solid steel, so it could be cut off to make it as short as you would want.

This is a ceiling hugger fan and must be flush mounted. The mounting is less than 10" in diameter accoring to my eyeball assessment. It cannot be mounted with a downrod.

We have the same. It worked fine. Fan is well made, very good quality, completely silent, I also used 6 ft down rod.John

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. Oh, and they're sitting right next to their phones right now :)Hansen Wholesale1-800-201-1193

We installed it under a shed roof over our patio. It's about 10 feet high at the mount point. The down rod that comes with the fan is only about 4-5 " long. Went to home depot because they carry Hunter down rods. However, they didn't have anything that was close in color. Went to Lowes - they have Harbor Breeze down rods. Surprisingly, they had a 12" Harbor Breeze down rod that matched perfectly. Also had various sizes if you need one longer. No problem with the substitution of brands.

I had the same concern, wanting to mount this fan in a room with 8 foot ceilings. You cannot remove or shorten the downrod, it is needed for the clearance of the fan blades from the ceiling.but because the fan blades are mounted on the top of the motor you still have enough height from the floor. I have had this fan in operation for five months and really like it. It makes almost no noise.

Standard for oscillating fan, if you put it in a corner it will cover room. The problem is the lack of air velocity. This fan works in a small room.
