I have a 20 foot ceiling. I need to have the fan come down to at least 10-12 feet fro the ceiling. Is it possible? How?

Hello! You would need to get a down rod coupler from the same manufacturer (Minka Aire) to link two down rods together. If there is anything else we can help with, please let us know! Lighting and Locks 1-800-334-5804

The Minka Aire downrod coupler is a generic link for single tube downrods, it will not work linking two San Francisco downrod extensions unless Lighting & Locks can show otherwise.

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.

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

It would be best to set on floor then set fan on top and force air towards attic. But you can suspend it from ceiling by screwing hook into roof and bungy cord it there to cut down on sound/vibration. I use mine from the floor threw lights into attic.

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.

I had the same concern, wanting to mount this fan in a room with 8 foot ceilings. You cannot remove or shorten the downrod, it is needed for the clearance of the fan blades from the ceiling.but because the fan blades are mounted on the top of the motor you still have enough height from the floor.I have had this fan in operation for five months and really like it. It makes almost no noise.

No it can not. But, if you cut down the extension rod to the minimum length it will actually hang down less than a traditional looking flush mounted fan. What I did is a little bit of trial and error, trimming down the rod a bit at a time until i had it as short as possible. What limits you is the upper "cone" must go on first and then you must hook the fan to the ceiling bracket prior to securing the upper cone. A little tricky to try to explain, but I think I got the rod down to 2.5" or so in length.

Fan comes with its down rod. Its about 20 cm long. If you need to get the fan to a lower hight, then you need to buy the down rod extension separately.

My fan is not flush mounted and I also didn't use an extra 2 inch extension that came with it. My fan measures approx. 18.5 inches from ceiling to bottom of the light fixture. Hope this helps.

The Metropolitan ceiling fan comes with a 12" and 6" down-rod standard. With a 6" down-rod and the motors oriented downward the fan hangs 16 1/2" down from ceiling (ceiling to bottom point of the fan).Thank you,Michael H.Dan's Fan City

Andrew, my ceiling is sloped and it is 11-ft where we put the ceiling fan. It only comes with a short down rod. I did purchase a longer down rod from a local distributor. I think it is 2 ft, but I can't remember exactly. It was under $20. The fan is great. Our electrician used everything that came with the fan even with the ceiling sloped and it works perfect. Only have to purchase a longer down rod. You must get the casablanca down rod. The others from the big box stores will not work properly. Hope this helps.

Michael, the bottom of the light is 16" from the ceiling, however, there are two pull cords (one for the light and one for the fan) that hang down 20 1/2". They can be adjusted though.

If the ceiling is low it may help some. I found the fan kinda weak, I think due to the foam fan blades, and only used it once. Personally I would not recommend this fan.

I used a 24 inch extension and than felt it was to long thus went with a 12 inch. I do not see why it would not work but you may have to add wiring if you are going to drop 3 feet from ceiling, Fan is quiet and also does not vibrate thus I can not see why it would not work,

I wouldn't recommend this fan except for very tall ceilings. It could be dangerous.

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.

We have a 16" cathedral ceiling and used a 60" down rod. 16" may work with a flat ceiling but that will leave the fan 19-20' off the floor.
