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.

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. Oh, and they're sitting right next to their phones right now :) Hansen Wholesale 1-800-201-1193

I located the manual, Elizabeth. The minimum clearance height from the floor is 7'. With the down rod provided, it appears that the unit hangs 12 or 13". Hard for me to tell because it is mounted on a slant ceiling outside and was running.. So it will be very close for 8' ceiling. This is the Phone number in the manual for Emerson Technical support.....1-800-654-3545....for questions.. the fan does indeed move a lot of air..... Dorothy

Yes, this fan can be mounted on a sloped ceiling with the use of an optional longer downrod. Hunter fans come with a standard downrod for typical installations (approx. 3 inches). For higher or angled ceilings, you can add an optional longer downrod. Optional longer downrods are available from any Lowes, Home Depot or similar store and on Amazon.com. They are available in 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 60 and 72 inch lengths. Please contact us directly for info about shipping to Canada.

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

I'm not sure about yours, but our ceilings are about 19 ft high where the fans are installed. We had to buy a long down rod to use them. We also had to use scaffolding to get them installed. It was a big pain to replace the ones that we've had for a long time, but it would have been the same with any fans. I LOVE these fans. So much so that we also replaced the one at our lake cabin with one.

This is a ceiling hugger fan and must be flush mounted. The mounting is less than 10" in diameter accoring to my eyeball assessment. It cannot be mounted with a downrod.

The fan does not come with pipes to extend the fan down so you would need to buy that separately. You would have to customize it

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.

They are all the same style but different lengths and paint colors to choose from. The goal is to have the fan as low as possible to you (while still being safe) to give maximum airflow. The length of your downrod depends on if your ceiling is angled or not and by what angle. The blades need to safely clear the ceiling of course.

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.

You may be able to find a shorter downrod, but i think you need it. The fan sits pretty close to the ceiling as is, with the included downrod. Good luck

Yes! I have mine hung on a sloped vaulted ceiling & it looks great. The wires/cords it hangs from are adjustable so it's rather simple to make it level no matter what ceiling type you have.

The down rod should be compatible with all ceiling fans. If u go to Lowes or home Depot they sell only one type of down rod it is the length of the rod that you can get in different sizes
1911060
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.

Hello,With an overall height of 16.75", Top to Bottom this Minka Aire F905-DK XL5 Artemis Ceiling Fan will be too large for an 8' Ceiling. We would recommend the Minka Aire F803-DK Artemis Distressed Koa Fan which has a height of only 12" and would work fine for a 8' ceiling and captures the same cool modern design of the larger XL5.Thank you,ALCOVE LIGHTING

Yes you can. The device is recommended to mount between 8' and 12' ceiling.
