Will this switch allow me to control the low speed on a 3 speed conventional Hunter Douglas ceiling fan ?

Yes, but put the fan on high speed and control the speed with the new variable speed switch.

Any electric fan can be outfitted with a variable speed switch/dimmer, as long as the switch/dimmer has the specs to cover the fans wattage. so the answer is yes, but make sure the switch you get can handle the fanns wattage. They make speed controllers for some shop power tools,. this fan draws less juice than most power tools, so that would be a good, likely safe place to aim (but still check).But ultimately this one comes with a speed control built in,. so,.. unless your like me and installed it out of arms reach and you want to put in a remote dimmer,.. the question is moot.

Yes. There is an on/off switch on the back of the fan, at the top, with 3 speed settings as well.

No. You must use the switch on the fan body to reverse the fan. The switch only controls the speeds and light.

Actually, I can use a wall-switch (for previous fan) to turn this fan on and off from a pre-set speed. Works great.

Yes, it should. It simply controls power to the fan similar to a light switch.

The Hunter 53090 Builder Deluxe fan can be wired for dual switches. However, your ceiling J-box must have the additional live red wire as well as two wall switches. Mine is wired for the wall switch to control both the light and fan. The ceiling fan has separate pull down switches for the fan and for the light.

The fan does NOT have a speed control though I believe they sell one (separately) now, however it is butt ugly so depending on where you place it that may or may not work for you. I tried several variable speed switches that are for ceiling fans but none of them worked; it was either on full speed or off.

Sorry, I'm not a technical person, but my electrical guy installed that for me to replace one I had there that did not work very well. The light switch is separate from it. For the ceiling fan, you set it for whatever speed you want each time. Off, high, medium or low. You can adjust it to any speed you want. Hope that helps.

A manual pull chain is the correct fan for this device. One key consideration is you will need a fan that has no light attached or wiring that allows for separate switches for the fan / light. You would use this switch for the fan only. I use the variable speed all the time especially in the winter I set it to low to push circulate the heat back down as I have a very high ceiling.

Yes, you can use a wall switch to control the Metropolitan ceiling fan.Thank you,Michael H.Dan's Fan City

You have to wire the unit to either low or high speed for the fan. It's a series of three wires that have terminals that you need to screw down bare wire. If you have a three way switch in your bathroom you can have it wired to be Off/Low/High. There are no switches or selectors on the unit itself.

I use the fan with both the wireless contol and a standard one way switch. The speed setting stays the same as set wtih the remote, when turning off and on at the wall switch. Since the three way switch only supplies power to the fan (off or on) in the same way as to a light, it will work just fine.Best regards,H A Brooks

No, But it can be replaced with a single pole 3/4hp wall switch if you want the fan to run on high speed only.

Yes. The fan's speed will not be controlled by the onboard controller, rather the selection made on the switch. I would imagine the function is limited to the fan's controller b/c should the mobo controller drop the speed, while low/silent is selected, the fan may not receive enough juice to turn. If you're using several fans this is nice b/c even on molex the fans will be functioning at similar speeds w/o purchasing a controller, flipping the 5volt to 3volt or howling at higher rpm's.

No, it has a rotary switch and a pull string. You could extend the pull string to turn the fan on and change speeds if you mount it out of your normal reach though.
