Can a downrod be mounted to theWestinghouse 7871400 Contempra IV Four-Light 52-Inch" ceiling fan?

Sorry I don't know that answer but when I find the owner's manual I will see if it mentions such and reply then

I don't see how... would suggest you ask Westinghouse - not totally sure what you mean

No. This model only can be flash mounted. Westinhouse might have a another fan model one with downrod.

I've had 4 of these running for about 2 years now, 3 of which run daily for 2-8 hours. But to answer your question, these are designed for low ceilings and the housing mounts flat to ceiling. I had an electrician install mine so I don't know if there is a short rod under that housing. However, common sense tells me that even if there were, and you replaced it with a longer rod, the housing would look unfinished because it is designed to be flush mounted. Just buy a standard fan, they're the same price and you can use any length downrod you want.

They claim that in the manual, but I just installed a quite similar Minka Aire today that made the same claim, and installed the cover with the 3.5" downrod. It just makes it difficult (not much working room) to do the electrical connections, and you'll need a very short screwdriver to attach the ceiling cover. Its a bit of a pain, but worth it, as its not pretty w/o that cover plate.

Without the light, this fan measure 12.76" from the ceiling to the bottom of the fan using the standard downrod included. If you choose the flush-mount option (also included), it will be 11.51".

On page 3 of the instruction manual, under the heading Mounting Options: Note: You may need a longer downrod to maintain proper blade clearance when installing on a steep, sloped ceiling. Longer downrods are available from your Minka-Aire dealer. (Figure 3 shows an angled ceiling mounting)

Yes, the down rod will fit this fan. We installed it with a 24" (3/4) down rod because our living room has a pitched ceiling.

The fan may be installed w/o a down rod but with fan and light shade requires about 18" of clearance from the ceiling.

Hi Nicholas, thanks for the question. Unfortunately, this fan cannot be flushmounted. However, and this may help you, the smallest downrod is only 3.5" inches, so that may help some. We hope this answers your question. Nicholas, if you need anything else, please reach out to one of our awesome experts because they know everything.

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.

Hi ScreamingMimi (great name),Thanks for the question. This fan includes a 4.5" downrod already. You also have the option of getting a longer downrod, or a shorter one (there is only one option for a shorter downrod at 2.5"). Any additional downrods must be purchased separately. If you have any other questions, or would like to place an order, please reach out to one of our awesome experts.

Mark, while it is best to use a new downrod, the downrod that comes with this fan is 3/4" inside diameter. If the downrod you have is a 3/4" downrod, it will likely work. Can't promise it will ... but it should. We look forward to helping you with your order. Lighthouse Supply. 1-888-642-0089.

Hi there,Thanks for the question. This fan is a "flushmount only" fan. That means it cannot be installed with a downrod of any kind, and must be flushmounted to the ceiling. We hope this helps!If you have any other questions, or would like to place an order, please reach out to one of our awesome reps.

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.

Although manual says you use their downrod, I cut mine in half and installed it and have no problems. I have a 9ft ceiling and didn't want people bumping into it.

Hello,This fan is a flush mount fan only, and would not come with a downrod. If you have any other questions please let us know.Thank YouDel Mar Fans & Lighting

27" from ceiling to the bottom of the light fixture. It needs the downrod. The downrod is part of the structure of the fan. There is approximately 2" of the downrod that (maybe) could be eliminated.

You can go to LOWES to see this identical product (it only comes with the 12in downrod) I purchased a 3ft downrod I needed for higher ceiling...LOVE THE FAN! half the price of what it was in the retail stores...
