New fixture has 7 1/4 inch canope. I will NOT install the decorative medallion. Is the metal cover plate required? It looks to be too large to hide

I think u have to have the metal plate installed , but see for your self what suits ... Thanks.

Depends on the fixture. I've installed two mushroom lights and one modern fixture. They all covered the metal plate. In reality, I don't see the benefit of the metal plate except keeping dust in the attic from drifting into the space between the can light and the drywall

The metal plate simply covers the hole left by removing the reflector bulb. It might cut down on any drafts coming through the fixture or maybe stop some bugs from crawling in. Maybe it also affords some fire resistance. If you're installing a cover over the hole anyway, I wouldn't worry about skipping the metal cover plate. It does not provide any structural function.

I didn't install the metal plate in the three I put in. It didn't go in easily and I didn't see what the point putting it in.

I am not sure, just that it was shorter than the one I needed. The white part of the one I need is 1" long. So this one is shorter by maybe 1/4." Enough so it wouldn't screw into the fixture and light. Hope this helps!

Where it touches the ceiling is about 4-1/2", then it drops down about an inch and that circle is about 5". I bought a ceiling medallion for ours, but our house is 100 years old and the wire in the ceiling was too short...my man didn't want to deal with it. Needless to say I have a beautiful ceiling medallion painted silver I have no use for. I'm envious of you.....the medallion will look beautiful with this. Still love this light, it's incredible! Thanks for asking because when I climbed on the stepladder I saw my beautiful light had some cobwebs...oops. Good luck.

I'm not sure because I didn't keep the fixture. I liked it but it was too big for my kitchen.

I am not sure if it is necessary or not. I do have the cover plate on my faucet. It probably covers up attempts to drill a round hole in the granite and any rough edges that might have occurred. It looks good to me and more finished.

There is a smaller silver plate, but I would definitely recommend getting the medallion that is recommended by Amazon. It really finishes off the look. The silver plate would leave it "lacking."

The 5.5" includes the metal screws on the side. If there isn't another light fixture to choose from you could always try it and send it back if it doesn't work.

This is a beautiful medallion and should be fine for your chandelier. However, because the size is measured from point to point it will not seem as large when it is installed as some other 28 inch medallions. So if your room is large you may want to go slightly bigger.

Sorry I can't help with this, I returned the fixture. The one I received wasn't shaped properly and the manufacturer (after seeing pics) had me return the item.

Install the fixture first and then the globes. You have to kind of put the globes on like a puzzle. But, it is worth it because it is a beautiful fixture.

I did not buy a medallion because it comes with one to begin with. It isn't as ornate as some of those that are available from $5.00 to several hundreds, but it fits with the chandelier. If you get one that has a hole that is 7/16 which is just under 1/2" in diameter, you will be fine. The hole will be covered up by the nut that will screw onto the threaded device that holds the chandelier to the ceiling. It's not like you have a great many choices to choose from anyway. The threaded device that holds the chandelier to the ceiling only has to accommodate 3 small wires going through it, and the metal device in the ceiling that this threaded device screws into is a standard device found at any hardware store.

Yes, mine has a metal u shaped cover that attaches to the lower part of the fixture.

I don't remember exactly where the screws were in my package, but you need 2 screws to secure the fixture. What you need depends on where you are mounting the piece. Included with my purchase were screws and concrete anchors. I was installing on a stud wall, so used the included screws w/o the anchors, but made sure to anchor in a stud. My guess is the were 2" long #8 screws. Take a look at the mounting hardware, I think you will need pan head screws, but don't remember and am not at home just now. I would not recommend installing using drywall anchors, I just don't think many would support the towel bar and weight of damp towels. As for instructions. I'd think you should be able to find the manual on-line somewhere. I used 2 screws to install. Mount the brass octagon to the wall (it should include a rubber gasket around the outside). Place the round cover on the bar. Slide the bar onto the wall mount and tighten the two hex screws on the bar. Then simply slide the round cover over the wall mount -- it should just be a friction fit due to the gasket around the wall mount.

It is best to take the fan canopy and fit it to the medallion while it is on the table or floor, to determine size. Make sure everything fits first. This medallion is designed to be painted, and is thin plastic. Take the time to make it look cool.

Don't know exactly. Fixture is in a different location. I think it is about 3". There is a gap of about one half inch between the ceiling (bottom of can light) and the shield as I recall.

I shortened the chain but I would think about 4'. Their is an escutcheon included but an architectural medallion like plate is not. I did swag the fixture over to a header to center the light over my dining table from the j-box. The Crystals are glass. The shade is fabric. I did install it upside down because there were no directions. I am going to do some more lighting remodel in my house and at that time I'll fix that goof.It is really a nice fixture. Its not to big or small. I have an old house and works well with it.

We have this attractive hood as well. I'm not sure of the shaft itself but the outside box that covers the shaft is an 12 incheby 12 inch. Our handyman tossed the bracket hardware and accordian type vent pipe. He felt both were lightweight and for few dollars did his own upgrade. It is very attractive once installed. We were left with a small ceiling hole and just used a crown molding type trim that matched our new cabinets to close it all in.
