can you flush mount this fan or do you have to use the downrod?

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.

I have not installed the fan as yet. I did purchase a flush mount and light kit for it. We have not got to that part of the remodel yet.

Hi Nicholas, thanks for the question. Unfortunately, this fan cannot be flushmounted. However, and this may help you, the smallest downrod is only 3.5" inches, so that may help some. We hope this answers your question. Nicholas, if you need anything else, please reach out to one of our awesome experts because they know everything. Also, they just happen to be sitting right next to their phones right now :) Hansen Wholesale 1-800-201-1193

As shown in the product description, the fan can be installed in the standard, flush or angled positions. My fan was installed without using the down rod and looks great, since I preferred the fan to be closer to the ceiling of my outdoor patio.

We used the shorter downrod, but it matches perfectly. It is a beautiful fan that even our handyman commented on. I don't install anything, so I can't speak on the difficulty. I did go shopping at one of our local lighting shops for a bathroom fixture and wandered into their "fan" room. The exact same fan cost just under twice as much

I haven't taken the fan out of the box yet but I believe it comes with the standard 6" downrod. I ordered the optional 36" downrod because of a high ceiling.

No it can not. But, if you cut down the extension rod to the minimum length it will actually hang down less than a traditional looking flush mounted fan. What I did is a little bit of trial and error, trimming down the rod a bit at a time until i had it as short as possible. What limits you is the upper "cone" must go on first and then you must hook the fan to the ceiling bracket prior to securing the upper cone. A little tricky to try to explain, but I think I got the rod down to 2.5" or so in length.

It uses a downrod. We two of these fans. In one room we have an approximately 4" downrod and the other a 12" downrod. It's a good fan.

Thank you for your question, Nicholas. Unfortunately, this fan can only be installed using downrods. The minimum overall hanging height of this fan is 13.5" with the use of the 3.5" downrod that is included.

I did not use them as I solid mounted mine, but normally you use the the plastic "tie downs" though the holes of the fan, then through the springs then through and between the fins of the radiator, this allows the the fan to move/float slightly without actually contacting the radiator or trans/oil cooler and damaging it. differeent ways to attach depends upon needs.

I am not sure what you mean by a downrod. I bought this fan because it is a ceiling-hugger model, which is how it is installed.

I've had 4 of these running for about 2 years now, 3 of which run daily for 2-8 hours. But to answer your question, these are designed for low ceilings and the housing mounts flat to ceiling. I had an electrician install mine so I don't know if there is a short rod under that housing. However, common sense tells me that even if there were, and you replaced it with a longer rod, the housing would look unfinished because it is designed to be flush mounted. Just buy a standard fan, they're the same price and you can use any length downrod you want.

You can mount this fan either way. Look for the molded arrow on the side of the fan to identify airflow direction. Its most efficient when it pulls air through the computer chassis and exhausts it out the back. If you plan to mount it to the side of your chassis to cool your CPU you'll want to bring cool air in from the outside.

The down rod should be compatible with all ceiling fans. If u go to Lowes or home Depot they sell only one type of down rod it is the length of the rod that you can get in different sizes

it only comes with a short downrod. you will need to purchase a 12 inch rod. its a great fan.

From the looks of the included tweeter mounting options (there are several) you should be able to flush mount... Though, I have put mine in the factory locations for a more clean look

Hi, I wouldn't do it with the one screw hole. I mounted on a wall and wanted it face down so I used an L bracket upside down with 2 mounting holes and wall anchors and it was just fine. I would probably recommend a bracket for you too. The fan itself runs very smoothly so there isn't a lot of lateral movement generated, but I error on the side of extra safe. If you do go with one screw, make sure you attach the safety cord that comes with it.

I flush mounted the one I purchased but because it's builders deluxe I believe the down rod is a different style from the hunter original. I would try searching for a deluxe down rod or call hunter direct. Sorry I can't be more help.
