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.

If you want the bottom of your fan to be 7ft, then use a 10-1/2ft (126in) down-rod. If you want the bottom of your fan to be at 8ft, then use a 9-1/2ft (114in.) down-rod. Formula: Ceiling height(ft.) minus fan bottom height(ft.) plus 2.5ft, equals down-rod length in feet.

We would recommend ordering a down-rod from the same manufacture to guarantee compatibility. Also, the finish of the down-rod from Minka Aire will match exactly to the fan.

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.

Yes it can. Just be aware that the included 3" downrod might be too short, depending on the angle of your ceiling. I purchased the matching 12" downrod to give the blades adequate clearance on the low side of the slope. Ideally you want a minimum of two feet spacing from blades to ceiling for best air movement, but a minimum of eight feet from blades to the floor (for safety reasons). Of course, if you have really high ceilings you will want a much longer downrod as you don't want the fan too high up to do any good.

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 Wholesale 1-800-201-1193

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

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.

our recommended height is only 9ft. we dont have any to mount to vaulted ceiling...thanks!

Yes, but you will have to buy a longer downrod separately. The length will depend on the slope of the ceiling and how low you want it to hang.

I think you could. I have been thinking about doing something similar. It's too high to the ceiling. You would need to paint the down rod. I had to paint the small metal piece at the bottom to match the top. It's chrome.

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.

I have a cathedral 12/12 pitch ceiling with 8 inches horizontal along the top and had to drop the fan down 20" on a cross piece to make it work (that gives a couple inches on each side of the blades). The way I put it in will never fall (3" number 10 screws used to secure cross piece) but no idea if its to code. Good luck

The fan does not come with pipes to extend the fan down so you would need to buy that separately. You would have to customize it

We have a 16" cathedral ceiling and used a 60" down rod. 16" may work with a flat ceiling but that will leave the fan 19-20' off the floor.

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.
