What is the minimal ceiling height supported? Keep in mind that the ceiling will need to drop by about 6" to bring in the duct.

On the face of it, I'd say 8 feet. My ceiling was a tad less than 7 feet, so I cut the tower, and it works fine.

It is made for a 6" - however your HVAC contractor can build a transition to make it suitable for a 4" duct, which is what we did and it works well.

I purchased longer, hex head screws to attach it to the closest two by four that supports the ceiling. Since my previous fan used 3" ducting, I purchased a metal 4' to 3' round reducer to connect the fan to the existing duct. A 3" duct is louder, but it still does the job!

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.

Clearance from ceiling to the actual T-bar needs to be about two feet minimum. That's usually not a problem, though, as to get it to a height where our son can reach it we need to drop it down about five feet from the ceiling.

The walls would have to be studded with 2x6's. Walls are typically studded with 2x4's. I installed mine in the ceiling that has 2x6 joists, decked over for attic storage. The fan housing did not obstruct the decking above. The issue will be access on both sides for installation and routing the duct. I recommend going up with the duct unless you plan on cutting a 3 or 4 inch hole through each stud in the route to the intended exhaust vent.

6 in and I just shoved a small fan at Walmart in and connected the tube to the window. It gets a good enough air flow through the room and materials strong enough to hold it all up. It's a great little fan for the money

If you want to get technical, you will want to know the CFM (cubic feet per minute) of the fan you are using. If you have a 6 inch and a 4 inch fan with the same CFM, they will vent the same amount of air. You will need 6 inch ducting to attach to the hood, but that does not necessarily mean you can only use a 6 inch fan. I rigged this up to a lasko blower fan from walmart (~$45) and it does well.

Our fan is about 14" from the ceiling. We have 8' ceilings and there seems to be plenty of head room. Get it--you will love it.

I dunno about 6" but it gives some, more probably if you don't put the bar for additional support. I set a 6" inline fan on to of mine no problems

NO, read the details below the price. "Fits ceiling heights ranging from: 7 feet 6 inches to 9 feet (2.2 m-2.7 m.)"

I also did a dropped ceiling. I left 6 1/2" because of the angle the long side had to slide in the hole. The more room you can leave the better.

This fan can hang at 14.5" to the bottom of the light. This works on an 8' ceiling and should leave you a 6'7.5" clearance.

No, the 6" duct fits inside, it was made made very well for its purpose. Then you can use 3 sheet metal screws (both sides)to secure it in place or just use silver ducting tape. I know the picture they have up on website is horrible and little different than what you get.

From floor to bottom of light fixture is 6 ft. 11 in. Do not know about the min. distance of the pole from ceiling to top of fan. I had someone install them and was not aware their was a choice. If it helps, I have 8 ft. ceilings, with 6'11" clearance under the fans. Love the fans, but the electrician said they were a dog to assemble.

I believe it would be fine. My ceilings are about 8 ft. and I did not use the flush mount and with the drop it is in a position that feels safe. So 6 inches less space with the flush mount closer to the ceiling should work.

The ceiling is too low the fan alone will take about a foot. Average person of 5.10 ft raises there arm. That Will add another foot or so. It will be a very close fit. also I hope they need a fan that pulls about 8500cfm this is what you use on large room or catedral ceiling
