Can the downrod be shortened?

It's a simple electric cord, not a rod, so you can shorten it as much as you'd like. I shortened mine a few feet but left about 6" of line curled up behind the top plate just in case I want to lower it sometime in the future.

You can lower it one inch or two. Or the same part is available to keep it stock height.

You will need two downrods and a coupling to connect them. The longest downrod you can get is 72". We ordered ours from another vendor than Amazon since they had all the accessories grouped together.

Hi Deb,Thanks for the question. Including the 4" downrod, this fan hangs down 12.5". Longer downrods are available, and must be purchased separately. We hope this helps!

If you meant making the working rolling platform shorter- I can't see how it could be done - nor why. It is a great machine as it is. Sorry I don't have a better answer for you.

Yes, per the instruction manual, the "Coupling Cover" cannot be installed with the 3.5-inch downrod.

Just checked the instructions. Can only be mounted with the normal downrod or an extended downrod.

I think it came with 2 short downrods (3 and 6 inch). I bought a 12 inch downrod because I mounted at the top of a slightly peaked ceiling.

no, because the ends have metal bars sewn in and there is no way to shorten it.

No. The rod ends have a roll up device that would not be easy to remove in order to change the length.

no, it comes with 2 short downrods, I used the shortest one and that still puts the tips of the blades 10" down from the ceiling.

Yes, it can be, but it is so much easier to install with the down rod. It also looks better this way. Also you seem to get more airflow with the down rod. I have 2, 1 flush mounted and 1 with the down rod. I like the one with the down rod the best. Hope this helps.

Mine came with a short downrod, which, when installed, set the blades about one foot below the ceiling (just enough space to allow proper airflow)

Hi Jeannie,Thanks for the question. Yes, absolutely. This great fan comes with (2) downrods. They are 3.5" and 6" respectively. You can also get a longer downrod (to be purchased separately) anywhere from 12" all the way up to 72" depending on your needs. We hope this helps Jeannie.
