Does anybody know what they diameter of the down rod is. I will need a longer one and I am not sure what size to buy. Some fans have a smaller rod.

You can purchase down rods at a home improvement store in different sizes. If you can't find anything short enough you can always buy a 12 inch and have them cut it to size. We needed a longer down rod and purchased one at Home Depot.

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.

Hello! There are close-to-ceiling kits available, but they require the shortest down rod that's included in the fan, the 3.5" one, and it won't really be too much shorter with the kit installed than with the shortest down rod. If there is anything else we can help with, please let us know! Lighting and Locks 1-800-334-5804.

As long as you can get a rod that will screw into the fan, for practical purposes you could use an extended rod up to 5 or 6 feet long, so a couple feet is no problem. You would just need to head to a hardware store with the rod in the package so they could fix you up with one that will screw into the fan in the length you need

Hi Jeannie,Thanks for the question. Yes, absolutely. This great fan comes with (2) downrods. They are 3.5" and 6" respectively. You can also get a longer downrod (to be purchased separately) anywhere from 12" all the way up to 72" depending on your needs. We hope this helps Jeannie. If you need anything else, please call one of our awesome experts. Not only do they know everything, they're also literally sitting right next to their phones right now :)Hansen Wholesale1-800-201-1193

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.

The wires probably had 2 feet or so of length. You WILL need more for a ft down rod. But great fan! You'll love it.

I have 5 Hunter fans in my house that I assembled and installed myself. Only one of them did I use a down rod that was not supplied with the original kit. It was a Hunter accessory rod (3 foot length) and it was the same diameter and threading as the short rod they provided. As long as you purchase a Hunter down rod I would think you'd be all right. If you're still not convinced, call the factory direct and ask for their guidance.

Thank you for your question, Nicholas. Unfortunately, this fan can only be installed using downrods. The minimum overall hanging height of this fan is 13.5" with the use of the 3.5" downrod that is included.

This ceiling fan comes with a 3.5 and a 6 inch. Longer down rods in the same finish can be purchased at an added cost.

The shortest length with the 12" down-rod that is included with the fan is 22 1/2". If the motors are oriented in the downward position (as pictured to the right) you can cut the down-rod down to approximately 6" reducing the distance to 16 1/2". The down-rod can be easily cut with a hacksaw and then drill a new hole for the safety pin.Thank you,Michael H.Dan's Fan City
