I am installing this fan with the crystal draping in my livingroom that has 22' ceilings. Is the 16" downrod long enough?

Hi Jeanne,No, the 16 inch downrod will not be long enough for your 22 foot ceilings. I have the same fan hung in my living room with 25 foot ceilings with a 14 foot downrod. This allows the fan to hang at approximately 10ft. above the floor. Any shorter on the downrod and you won't be able to see or enjoy your fan or the Spectra Swarovski Crystal Kit. Thanks.

It would probably work, but all of the rooms in have seen like that use a much longer rod. We will be moving soon to a house with a family room like that and I will be looking for a longer downrod. (Between 3 and 4 feet)

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.

We have 9 ft ceilings and cut the downrod to 10 inches. Looks great. The up light is delicate. We would suggest at least 3' downrod.

This fan might be at 8 feet when installed on your ceiling. As the down rod is 6 inches it self . Hope this info will help you with your decision :0)

I haven't installed my fan yet. However I am told that you are purchase from Hunter down rods of different lengths

I put 3 of these fans in house in Florida with 12 ft ceilings and used a 2 ft downrod. (FYI - best fans ever. No wobble becuz the downrod end is triangular insuring it's stability!) I know I cut off a lot of extra wire but can't guaranty the total wire was longer than 6 ft. Recommend you hit up the Hunter Fan people. They're pretty good at getting back to me when I had questions about compatible light fixtures for certain fans. Link to customer service here. http://www.hunterfan.com/Support/Contact-Us/

Although manual says you use their downrod, I cut mine in half and installed it and have no problems. I have a 9ft ceiling and didn't want people bumping into it.

We have ours installed with a 24" downrod on a 6/12 vaulted ceiling. If the pitch of your ceiling is flat enough, then a 12" downrod 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.

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'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.

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.

I haven't taken the fan out of the box yet but I believe it comes with the standard 6" downrod. I ordered the optional 36" downrod because of a high ceiling.

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.

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 don't think this can be installed without the downrod. The distance from the ceiling to the bottom of the light is 26 inches.

It is a great light & fan very high quality, we installed it in a walk in closet. We have 9' ceilings and installed it ourselves and it needs a short down pipe.. In our installation the exposed down pipe from the dome to the ceiling is 6 inches and total from ceiling to bottom fan is 16 inches. You could probably reduce the expose part of the down pipe come out of the ceiling from 6" to 2"---this would reduce the overall drop ceiling to the bottom of the fan to 12". Hope this helps.

Yes you can. 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. They are available in 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 60 and 72 inch lengths.
