Could I use an 8 inch downrod to mount this fan? Or is it flushmount only? Thanks!

Hunter does not make an 8" downrod. They make downrods in 12" increments up to 72" with the inclusion of an 18" downrod. The fan comes with a 3" downrod, which is sufficient for standard 8 foot high ceilings. If your ceiling is 9 feet or higher, add a downrod with a length of 12" for every foot above 8 feet.

Simple and safe installation with 3-position mounting: flush, standard or angled

Yes, you can use a support rod. I used a 24" one for mine. It is not a flush mount fan and comes with a short rod in the package.

Hi Ed, Thanks for the question. This fan requires a minimum ceiling height of at least 92.5" in order to meet building codes, so you should be fine because 8.5 feet measures 102". Also, this fan cannot be flush mounted, but again, you should be just fine with your ceiling height. We hope this helps!

This fan can be flush mounted and comes with a (I think) 4" downrod. I ordered a 24" downrod for our fan. Here is the link for the matching downrod:Hunter 28966 24" Extension Downrod Burled Brown

I am not sure why it says that the down rod is sold separately. There is a 3.5" and 6" down rod included with the fan. If you need a longer down rod than what is included, it needs to be 3/4" diameter. I recommend getting a Minka Aire down rod to ensure that it matches the finish.

Yes, the Voyage ceiling fan can be flush mounted but, the fan is already designed to fit on a 8' ceiling and the distance from ceiling to the bottom of the fan is 13". The mount that comes with the fan is set up to use the down-rod or flush mount.

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.

Only if you want it to be flush mounted. The fan itself can install regularly without the kit.

Hello! It's always best to get a downrod with the same manufacturer, as that way you are guaranteed for it to work. Manufacturers do different things with their downrods, so one company's will not always fit another's fan.

This unit is designed for flush mount installation. The base is too large to be adapted to a ceiling fan.

It comes with 2 downrods: a 6" and 3.5". So it can mounted close but the manual does not say anything about flush mounting.

This fan is not a flush mount fan. You can use a down rod with it. We used a 12" down rod. We've been very happy with this fan.

It hangs from a short tube that's included with the parts. Altogether, the lowest part of the fan assembly is about 9" below the ceiling. We have an 8' ceiling in the room so it is comfortably out of the way. I don't know it can be flush mounted any higher, but one of the other answerers says there is a separate adaptor available to do this.

NO! it is designed for a down rod. The short down rod supplied will get closeenough to the ceiling. If you're 6'4" you will be just fine with the fan mounted toan eight foot ceiling

You can do a flush mount. We mounted the fan in our bathroom. Eight foot ceiling and a standard door opens under the fan. Supposedly a down rod would increase air flow, but we did not have that option. The fan did help our humidity problem in a tight shower area.

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.

This fan comes with short down rod about 3 inches for mounting close to the ceiling, but it has to be mounted with a down rod (two included). If you have a regular flat ceiling, it should work fine. If your ceiling is sloped, you'll need a longer down rod (sold separately).
