does this fan come with a down rod

It comes with a 2" & a 3" down rod. If you need a longer one you will have to order one. Hope this helps.

You have to order a down rod separately. There are different lengths available.

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).

The fan comes with two rods and I believe that you have to use one of the rods to install.

I have two of these, one I installed with a down rod and the other I did not. So far I have not had any issues w/ either of them but I understand the air flow might be better if you install the down rod.

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.

I'm not sure if the flush mount kit works on this model. It comes with two down rods - I installed the fan using the shortest one and it worked out perfectly. With what's included in the kit, you must use one of the two down rods.

Don't use the down rod at all. Pop the plastic piece out of the bottom of the top ceiling mount canopy. This will reveal 3 screw holes. You will notice 6 black screws in a ring on the top of the fan motor. Unscrew 3 of these (every other one). Put these three screws through the canopy screw holes and screw back into the three holes on the fan motor housing. You now have a flush mount.

Hi Jeannie,Thanks for the question. Yes, absolutely. This great fan comes with (2) downrods. They are 3.5" and 6" respectively. You can also get a longer downrod (to be purchased separately) anywhere from 12" all the way up to 72" depending on your needs. We hope this helps Jeannie.

Not only do they know everything, they're also literally sitting right next to their phones right now :)Hansen Wholesale1-800-201-1193

A down rod give you space between the ceiling and the blades of the fan. If you have a low ceiling, you might need a 6" down rod or none at all. I have a very high ceiling. I used a 36" down rod to bring the fan lower into the room. There are guidelines for measuring how low a fan should be. With the one I used, I have plenty of head room. The fan looks beautiful and the balance in the room is right.

Mine does, either downwards or upwards, I don't remember exactly (haven't used it since the summer). It's because the adjusters on the side get a bit loose over time as the fan is functioning. It didn't bother me. It only happened after several days (very slowly, that's what I mean).

I have an 18 foot ceiling and I bought an extra long rod. I don't recall a rod coming with the fan. The fan is powerful enough to call even at 18 feet but I would suggest a 2 ft rod

I did use the 6" down rod and it works perfect, this is A very good fan and looks great. do not worry I have used the down rod on many fans in the past

Mine came witth the rod. You can also buy separately at the same time a longer rod if the fan needs to hang lower

If I understand correctly what you are asking, the answer is yes. I did not use a down rod on mine because it is a 9 foot patio ceiling. But there is a cap that covers the wiring and screws into the ceiling that I believe the down rod has to connect to.

It comes with a short down rod and everything you need except the fan wall switch which can be purchased separate I would recommend one.
