How many inches are between the ceiling and the top of the blades? I'm trying to figure out if the fan will miss the beams.

10" with the supplied mounting shaft. There are other lengths available so the fan can be mounted on 9',10', 12' high ceilings. If you have high ceilings just get a longer mounting shaft, the supplied wire are 5' long so there won't be a problem there.Don

The measurement varies because the blades are on a slant to clear the beams I would say you need ten inches of room

The blades are 12" . . . this is a fabulous fan for small room OR in our case, large bath room. We LOVE it. Easy to install, quiet and balances very well. Minka Aire fans are some of the best out there . . .

Mine fit between the rafters, but it shouldn't matter since the fan is higher up in the unit.

No. At the very least, the fan blades would strike the ceiling because their pitch is such that they extend above the motor. Additionally, the fan has a ball pivot as part of the mounting bracket to allow it to move a bit.

The entire unit, including the light, hangs 15 inches from the ceiling. I estimate the fan blades are about 9 inches from the ceiling.

Using the shortest post provided in the package (which i believe is considered their flushmount), my fan measures 17" to the bottom of the light bowl. Though, the kit does come with the option to not use the lights if you so chose, which could gain you back another 5-6". I also have 8 ft ceilings. Im 5'11" or so and it is more than enough clearance for me. Here are the measurements from Hunter. Dimensions Flush Standard Angled Ceiling to bottom of fan 11.27 in 12.27 in 45.27 in Ceiling to bottom of fan blade 9.92 in 27.74 in 43.92 in Ceiling to bottom of light 16.77 in 45.14 in 50.77 in

Hello, When I measure the beam it actually measures at about 22 1/2 " from top to bottom on the lowest setting, and 31 3/4" from top to bottom on the highest setting. That is me measuring from the floor to the top of the beam. It has 5 incremental settings evenly spaced out. I hope that helps :-)

I took out a tape measure and the blades are just shy of 10". The outer case of the fan is approximately 11.5 inches.

Mine came with a short downrod, which, when installed, set the blades about one foot below the ceiling (just enough space to allow proper airflow)

1. The specs probably give exact measures. Mine is about 14 to 15 inches from light to ceiling. 2. Not sure if there is an optional shorter extension. 3. It fairly quiet and air flow is fine. It is a higher quality fan.

I am looking at my fan right now. It is obvious that if it were mounted on a sloping ceiling that sloped more than a tiny amount- say 5 degrees, the fan blades would hit the ceiling. You could, of course, mount it on a rod that dropped from the ceiling, but the rod would likely sway as the blades of the fan start to spin. Thus, you would have to brace the rod somehow, but doing so would ruin the aesthetics of the fan. The only solution I can think of would be to have a carpenter install a beam near the apex of the roof- kind of like a tie rod-- and mount your fan to that.

When mounted using the short mandatory extension, and the light kit, the bottom of the fan is approximately 18 inches from the ceiling. Add about another 6 inches for the chains hanging down. There is a slightly longer extension, but that would make it about another 3 to 6 inches below that as well.

We did install it at the minimum distance and the bottom of the fan is 18 1/2 inches from the ceiling. My son LOVES this fan. It is quiet and creates great breeze.

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.

If you don't install the light fixture, and have it flush mounted, it's still closer to 9" to the bottom of the fan blades.

I just measured mine. It is 19" from the ceiling to the bottom of the lite fixture. I have mine mounted as close to the ceiling as I could get with thelight fixture attached to the fan. I have it in a bathroom, so I wanted a small unit that would do the job. This fan does it. I love it and recommendit. For a small fan it does a big job.Hope I was able to answer your question to your satisfaction.Penny

No. The base is rather large and the whole fixture is roughly the size of most fans. The blades would be behind the base.
