Hi, I am installing this into an attic room. What is the smallest amount of room do I need between the ceiling and the roof?

Thank You Leo for your interest in the ODL Tubular Skylight. The very minimum would be 6 to 8 inches. Of course, more is better. Marcia / ODL

Thanks everyone, your feedback helps a lot. The temps get down to about 25 in the early morning but always warms up to about 40-45 by mid day in Central NC. Ooops didn't see the typo... the space is 14x40x10 (560 sf with 10 ft ceiling height) fully insulated ceiling walls and floors with a ceiling fan to aid in heating or cooling circulation.

We have a "standard" height ceiling and it came almost to the floor. I would guess that it would be fine with a somewhat higher ceiling, but you would have to step up a bit higher to the ladder. Just be sure that the opening to the attic is large enough. Ours was too small to accommodate the ladder and a person.

I wish I could answer that with some authority but I cannot. I put in an area with a drop ceiling and attached it to a 2"x4".

We had originally planned to put ours in a room with a 7 foot ceiling. I am 6 feet tall and my head was skimming the ceiling, so we had to move it to the main floor in our home with higher ceilings.

I'm not a electrician, but since this is a low voltage fixture, you dont need a lot of clearance between the fixture, just cut 4in diameter circle in the ceiling tile or sheet-rock and push the insulation away few inches with your hand and you should be fine. Hope this helps.

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. We hope this helps.Triloron, if you have any other questions, or would like to place an order, please reach out to one of our awesome experts.

I have 9' ceiling and the downrod is 6" I addition to the control box makes it almost 9" from the ceiling. I believe the minimum is 6".

I installed mine a few years back so I can't tell you the exact dimensions, but you should be able to get that from the specs. I can tell you it was really easy and fit between the ceiling joists.

Mine is 5.5 inches from the ceiling. Pretty snug fit. Don't think you'd want to be much closer. This is quite a hunk of metal as well. Very sturdy and adjust in all kinds of directions. Very well organized assortment of spacers and screws. I am very happy with mine.

Not enough if you are hanging from a vaulted ceiling. I had a I go to Home Depot for more. 36 inchesb as not enough. Also , call the country and they will be mail instructions to put together !!!! It is from utube. Much needed!!!!!

I am 6ft and have mine in a room that is 7' 10" where my head is. There is a 4" space above my head. So a 7' ceiling maybe too low for you.

Hi AMT,Thanks for the question. This fan requires a minimum ceiling height of at least 94.52" in order to meet building codes. If your ceiling is 8ft then it is 96", so you should be fine.

This fan might be at 8 feet when installed on your ceiling. As the down rod is 6 inches it self . Hope this info will help you with your decision :0)

Not sure I understand your question but we mounted our on the shortest downrod (closest to the ceiling) and it works wonderfully!
