Hello! The fan can go up to 29 degrees without an adapter for an angled ceiling. Otherwise, you'll need http://www.amazon.com/MinkaAire-A245-DKG-F612-DKG-Distressed-Highlights/dp/B006TTOBBA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1394720972&sr=8-1&keywords=A245-DKG If there is anything else we can help with, please let us know!

You may be able to find a shorter downrod, but i think you need it. The fan sits pretty close to the ceiling as is, with the included downrod. Good luck

As shown in the product description, the fan can be installed in the standard, flush or angled positions. My fan was installed without using the down rod and looks great, since I preferred the fan to be closer to the ceiling of my outdoor patio.

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.

Hello! The fan can take up to a 29 degree slope. After that, you'll need to actually get an adapter, the A245-BN, which goes into the ceiling in combination with a regular downrod. If there is anything else we can help with, let us know! Lighting and Locks - 1-800-334-5804

I can not make that choice for you however, even though I have a 10 foot ceiling I chose not to use the drop down bar it came with and mounted the fan the regular way. I am very happy with the look of the product and the blade pitch. My only issue is I can hear a humming sound from 2 fans and 3 of them do not rotate as fast as the other 2 even though they are set up exactly the same with the same speed.

Hello P. Kumar, Thank you for your inquiry. The Minka Aire F900-BCW ceiling fan comes with a 3.5" and 16" downrod. You may purchase longer downrods if necessary separately. They go by different part numbers depending on the size/finish. What is your ceiling height in the room you will be placing this in? We will suggest the down-rod that best suits this area to get the maximum air flow for your ceiling height and the fan. Thank you.

If you use the extension pole that you purchase separately, then I would think you could make it work. I did not need the extension with my mount, but as long as you can mount the pole where it can hang straight down you should be fine. However, I cannot see this mount or any mount working alone on an angled ceiling. This unit has the ability to tilt, but if you factor in the projector that's connected to it, I feel the projector would hit the ceiling before you achieved the proper angle.

Good luck with finding a 1/2" down rod. They do not carry them at Lowe's, Home Depot, or WalMart. You can order them but they are 3X the cost of a standard size 3/4". Some lighting stores have them but matching the Litex finishes may be difficult. I am returning the 2 fans I ordered because I refuse to pay $30 for a down rod that sticks out like a sore thumb.

It did come with a very short down rod. It still needs a small flat space to mount it. Slightly larger than the electrical box as I recall. Just not as big of a flat space as some fans. Longer down rods can be purchased at any home improvement store for not much money.

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.

I could not find anything in the instructions that mentioned a flush mount or how to mount the unit flush (against the ceiling) so I used the shortest drop rod. My ceiling height in the small bedroom I installed this unit in would not allow me to use the light kit as I would be bumping my head into it as it would hang too low. The ceiling fan works great without the light kit and looks very nice, but I would have preferred a light that I could have used. Also instructions for installing the fan without the light are not in the supplied instructions, you must get them online, which I found irritating. It's very simple, but it should be included on the instruction sheet.

I'm not sure if the flush mount kit works on this model. It comes with two down rods - I installed the fan using the shortest one and it worked out perfectly. With what's included in the kit, you must use one of the two down rods.

I am not sure about flush mount but the fan installation came packaged with the drop rod and that is how I installed mine. I have normal ceiling height and is located so that there is not a lot of foot traffic underneath the fan. Looks great mounted as manufacture has provided with rod and has clearance of six feet plus a few inches to the lowest point of pull chains. The chains length can probably be modified. necessary.

You can do a flush mount. We mounted the fan in our bathroom. Eight foot ceiling and a standard door opens under the fan. Supposedly a down rod would increase air flow, but we did not have that option. The fan did help our humidity problem in a tight shower area.

I did use the 6" down rod and it works perfect, this is A very good fan and looks great. do not worry I have used the down rod on many fans in the past

Rachel,Yes both of mine are flush mounted just like a normal fan would be. The down rods were way too long for what I was trying to do. The hard part was finding a switch that would work with two fans. The one that comes with it is great for one or if you are running them on separate lines.
