My ceiling is vaulted and the recommended height for the fan to be above floor level is 8ft, so is it possible to connect several downrods together

No. Unfortunately they can't be from what I saw. We have a vaulted as well and ordered the length of downrod the installer suggested and the fan looks great.

It's not a good idea to connect several downroads. 8ft is a minimum for a ceiling fan. I bought a 72" downroad for my 19' great room. It looks and works great.

No Cannot connect Several Downrods. Depending on your ceiling height will depend on the size of your downrod. I used a 24 inch downrod on a 11' ceiling and it is a good height. Ceiling Height Downrod Length 9ft. or less standard down rod (3 inches) 10ft. - 11ft. 1 ft. rod or standard if preferred 11ft. - 12ft. 18" - 24" down rod 12ft. - 14ft. 36" down rod 14ft. - 16ft. 48" down rod 16ft. + 72" down rod 17ft. + Custom down rod

I wouldn't think you could because the end going into the fan is threaded and the ceiling end is not. My fan is 12-13 feet above the floor and I don't have any problems with airflow (heating or cooling). I think if you could extend the rod, you may have problems with sway, but I do believe you can buy longer rods. Just my thought

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.

No. For rods to connect, they would have to screw into one another. However, while one end has screw threads, the inside of the other end does not. As others have said, you'll have to get a single rod of the right length.

Yes, it can. The fan swivels on a downrod, which on a level ceiling, leaves the blades 12.5" from the ceiling. I don't know the math, but that distance will be reduced by every degree of slope, but I would think most sloped ceilings will not be a problem.

If by vaulted do you mean sloping ceiling? The answer is yes. As with all Hunters there is a single ball pivot on the inside so it should accommodate you needs.This a very very quiet fan, which is essential at our house. I installed it myself so know that it is heavy and MUST BE BOLTED INTO A BEAM, not just surface MOUNTED IN FLIMSY SHEET ROCK.GOOD LUCK.

Not sure what problems you are concerned about? When I installed two fans in my house each transmitter was programmed to a single fan. It was simply install and use the transmitter. I have vaulted ceilings over 15' high I used a 48" extension and did not have any issues with the transmitter or receiver on the fan.

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...

I think you could. I have been thinking about doing something similar. It's too high to the ceiling. You would need to paint the down rod. I had to paint the small metal piece at the bottom to match the top. It's chrome.

It depends on the pitch...but you would probably want a downrod. It only handle a few inches lower. We have a vaulted ceiling and bought a 12 inch down rod (different fan).

It can not be installed without a down rod, if that is what you are asking. My fan only had one down rod included with it. I didn't use it because I purchased a 4 ft. rod for my cathedral ceiling. As I recall the one that was included was about 6 inches long. I am very pleased with the look and performance of the fan. The only change I made was to buy white glass globes to replace the original because I felt they were too dark.

I bought the fan year ago. If I remember correctly, you need the downrod to connect the ceiling canopy to the upper fan canopy. Otherwise I don't see how you can connect the 2 parts. I have a low ceiling (8 feet) and the included 3" downrod is just the perfect length for the job.

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.

Hi Raegan Isaac, thanks for the question. This fan requires a minimum ceiling height of at least 96.76" in order to meet building codes. If your ceiling is lower than 96.76" (at 7.5 feet you're at 90 inches) then you may need to add a flushmount adapter. If you cannot find what you need to make this fan work in your room, please give us a call so we can check to see if there are any further alternatives. Our experts will know exactly what to do.

You have to figure out how far from your ceiling you want the fan mounted. If it's a high ceiling get a longer down rod if it's regulsr height the ones with the fan should be OK.

Don't think so from what I recall. The downrod is only about 2.5inches from the ceiling mount cap. Very, very, very short downrod. You wouldn't gain anything if it could mount closer.

Hi Thierry, thanks for the question. The smallest downrod for this fan is 4 1/2", which would bring the overall minimum height of this ceiling fan to 13 1/2". We hope this helps Thierry, please let us know if you have any other questions. Our experts are literally sitting right next to their phones right now, and they know everything :)Hansen Wholesale1-800-201-1193

No, the fan would be at an angle and would not operate properly. This fan does not have a rod that extends down. It mounts flush to the ceiling.

You could flush mount it, but looking at mine (and using a measuring tape), it looks like the OVERALL drop from ceiling to the decorative finial on the bottom, would be about 18"-23", but the fan blades would only drop about 10-13" from the ceiling, so the "blade danger" wouldn't be much issue. I think you will be totally fine with 8' ceilings, but If you have anyone who is REALLY tall, like 6'4"+ in the home, maybe go with a lower profile fan without the heating element...

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. We hope this helps. If you need anything else, please reach out to one of our awesome experts.
