Can this fan be angle mounted using a downrod?

We have four of these fans on three foot down rods mounted on a steep angle - so, yes, they can be mounted on an angle.

The two new ones I have (out of 7 total on an outside porch) can be mounted on a slanted ceiling.

There were two downrods in the box. According to the instruction manual one is a "standard downrod" and the other is a "minimum length downrod (for close to ceiling mounting only)". I'm sorry but I cannot tell you what the size of the standard one is because we discarded it. The fan is now installed so I measured the exposed space of the minimum length downrod and it is two inches. The instruction manual does not give length specs for either downrod.

Just checked the instructions. Can only be mounted with the normal downrod or an extended downrod.

No. This model only can be flash mounted. Westinhouse might have a another fan model one with downrod.

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 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.

It did come with a very short down rod. It still needs a small flat space to mount it. Slightly larger than the electrical box as I recall. Just not as big of a flat space as some fans. Longer down rods can be purchased at any home improvement store for not much money.

Yes, but you will have to buy a longer downrod separately. The length will depend on the slope of the ceiling and how low you want it to hang.

The downward rotation of the fan is very limited, no more than 5 degrees. It have to be mounted sideways in order to pointed downward if attached to a wall.

I mounted 2 fans on my sloped ceilings with these. Works just fine. The bottom of the electrical box is flush with the slope. and has no problem whatsoever.While you are at it you have to take into account how far from the ceiling your fan blades will be on lowest side. So it takes a little planning as to what size fan you want and how long your drop down pole will be. Most fan mounts allow for angled ceilings so that's no problem.

Not if you have an outlet. If there's no outlet then run an extension cord or have an electrician put in an outlet close to the location you wish to mount the fan.

Hi Jeannie,Yes. The fan is supplied with 3.5" and 6" down rods. DR512-ORB (12"), DR518-ORB (18"), DR524-ORB (24"), DR536-ORB(36"), DR548-ORB (48"), DR560-ORB (60"), and DR572-ORB (72"), down rods are compatible. A down rod coupler DR500-ORB is also available.

Yes, but the fan height also adjusts up and down a little too. The fan can only tilt down as fsr as the fan housing allows until it touches the base pole.

I don't think this is possible. I have the smallest down rod and the top of the fan hangs 5 1/2 inches from the ceiling. It is a beautiful fan but I would not try to flush mount it. I often try to make things work and I could see getting a rod that is an inch or so shorter but that is as far as I would go.

Afraid not. The base can make the fan sit way back, but when moving the base forward, it only takes the fan up to a 90 degree angle. It does not move any farther to allow the fan to be pointed downwards.

Yes, they can be mounted any direction. For your purposes it might be better to use one with higher CFMs. There are some that move 200-300 CFMs for a little more money.

You can mount it upside down if you want a pretty upside down fan, but for air circulation this fan is the worst
