The ceiling where my current fan is (that I want to replace) is slightly angled. Maybe 30 degrees or less. Will I be able to install this?

Minka-Aire does make a sloped ceiling adapter to install this fan on a slope ceiling. You would need to order part number A245-BS to hang this fan on a sloped ceiling.

Mine is installed horizontally between two floor joists and so far it is working good. It replaces a fan intended for horizontal but I installed it in a ceiling (vertical) and it lasted a year before going out. Using a fan opposite of what it is intended for can be hard on the bearings. My guess is this one would be OK either way, but contacting the manufacturer would be the safest way to go.

I checked with my husband, who actually installed the fan. Basically he said that the issue would be getting the right ceiling mount kit, one that would compensate for the sloped ceiling. Without knowing what kind of sloped ceiling you have (gently sloped? cathedral ceiling?), it's difficult to be more specific than that. Basically, I think any fan can be installed on any ceiling if you have the correct mounting kit. Ceiling fans need a lot of support and there are many ways to compensate if your ceiling is problematic in any way (such as retrofit ceiling fan "Saf-T-Brace"). I hope this helps somewhat. Good luck!

You can tilt it to any angle including straight down. I own a gym and have a number of these fans and they work great. The mount is a wall mount though, not ceiling.

Hi AMT, Thanks for the question. This fan requires a minimum ceiling height of at least 94.52" in order to meet building codes. If your ceiling is 8ft then it is 96", so you should be fine. We hope this helps. If you need anything else, please reach out to one of our awesome experts. Not only do they know everything, they're also literally sitting right next to their phones right now :) Hansen Wholesale 1-800-201-1193

I would ask a carpenter but I think not unless the opening is changed. I specifically bought this one to replace one of the same size opening and fan. Our carpenter asked if we could match the existing space. Hope this helps.

I am 90% sure you can. The motor is connected to a half circular hanging bracket which allows it to level out when hung on an angle. The fan I hung this weekend is mounted by a square and is definitely able to be hung on an angle.

There are duct pipe connectors that can adjust through various angles. I suggest looking for one of those and connecting it between the two. Sorry I don't know what they are called but you can find them at Home Depot.

I have a sloped ceiling so mine averages about 29" from the ceiling to the end of the finial. You can obtain different length rods for your fan.

I suppose you could get a longer pole to allow it to be attached to an angled ceiling. I did replace the candelabra bulb with what I think maybe is an LED candelabra bulb (more fluorescent looking light), but not sure, since the bulb that came with it is very dim. The new bulb is also dim-just not as much as the other. The bulb I bought was recommended by someone else on Amazon who replaced it. If you look through the reviews you should come upon his.

I used this for a ceiling fan on a 54deg angled Cathedral ceiling. You'd have to measure the post diameter to be sure. (if I'm understanding your question correctly.)

My ceiling has a bit of a slope. You would still have to install the pan at the top directly on the ceiling. I can see it working. But I think you should checkthis one out with someone in the business. I don't know if there would be enough support for the hanging fan. Janie, I think if you called a electrician, hemight be more help. Sorry I couldn't be more help.Penny

Hello! This fan can take up to a 29 degree slope, and anything beyond that you will need http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001CADSVA. If there is anything else we can help with, please let us know! Lighting and Locks 1-800-334-5804

By checking the directions, I think you must use a downrod, but they include a shorter downroad for fans installed close to the ceiling. Absolutely flush does not look like an option.

hello my friend, off course, the fan is a spare part, so, you can change it easy, just remember to buy a 120 mm fan. (sorry for my english, im studing it yet.)
