Choosing a Hunter Ceiling Fan Downrod Extension

Hunter Ceiling Fan Down Rod Length

For maximum cooling, it is most efficient to have the blades 8 to 9 feet above the floor. It is recommended to use an Hunter Ceiling Fan Extension Downrod which lowers your ceiling fan to this level above the floor.

Hunter ceiling fans use our 3/4” Extension Down Rods for maximum Stability and Wobble-Free performance. Most other brands of ceiling fans use 1/2” downrods.

A general formula for calculating down rod length for your Hunter Ceiling Fan is: ceiling height in feet minus 9' = downrod length. This formula is based on the fan-to-floor distance of 8 feet plus 1 foot for the dimension of the fan. So if your ceiling height is 12 feet, you need a 3 foot downrod for your ceiling fan in order to properly position the ceiling fan 8 feet from the floor.

 

Most Hunter Ceiling Fans have 78" wire leads.

Mounting Hunter Ceiling Fans on Vaulted Ceilings

Hunter Ceiling Fans have unique Installer’s Choice®, WobbleFree™ , EasyHang , and HandsFree™ ceiling fan canopies on most models. These Ceiling Fan canopies are 3-Position Mounting Systems.

This allows you to mount your Hunter Ceiling Fan flush-to-ceiling for extra clearance, standard ceiling fan hanging, or on a ceiling fan extension downrod with angled mounting for Vaulted Ceilings with a pitch as steep as 34°!

See illustration below of the Hunter Fan 3-postion Mounting System:

However, if your ceiling angle is especially steep and exceeds 34° , you should purchase a Hunter Ceiling Fan Angle Mount Accessory which will accomadate up to 45° angles.
