Can the downrod be replaced with a longer rod of same diameter? I need a minimum 21" clearance from ceiling to blade. Thank you!

Yes, we used a 60" down rod with this fan. The one that amazon recommended was perfect- oil rubbed bronze.

I honestly don't know but by just looking at it...I don't think so. The 3 rods that hang down from the middle rod to the fan are permenant.

Hi Thierry, thanks for the question. The smallest downrod for this fan is 4 1/2", which would bring the overall minimum height of this ceiling fan to 13 1/2". We hope this helps Thierry, please let us know if you have any other questions. Our experts are literally sitting right next to their phones right now, and they know everything :)Hansen Wholesale1-800-201-1193

The height with the 4 inch down (included) will be 13.5 inches. You can purchase longer down rods at an added cost.

Mine came with a short downrod, which, when installed, set the blades about one foot below the ceiling (just enough space to allow proper airflow)

Hello! Downrods often do not interchange between companies due to size and threading. Your best bet would be to buy a new downrod to ensure compatibility. If there is anything else we can help with, please let us know! Lighting and Locks 1-800-334-5804

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

Yes, the down rod will fit this fan. We installed it with a 24" (3/4) down rod because our living room has a pitched ceiling.

no, it comes with a down rod that is required for installation, there is only an option for a longer one.

You will need to use a metal hack saw to cut the non-threaded end of the rod to the length you want. The threaded end screws into the ceiling mount.

Thank you for the inquiry, you can cut the down rod shorter provided you orient the motors downward like the picture. This model allows you to move the motors up to 90-degrees.Thank you,Mike H.Dan's Fan City

On page 3 of the instruction manual, under the heading Mounting Options: Note: You may need a longer downrod to maintain proper blade clearance when installing on a steep, sloped ceiling. Longer downrods are available from your Minka-Aire dealer. (Figure 3 shows an angled ceiling mounting)

I don't think this can be installed without the downrod. The distance from the ceiling to the bottom of the light is 26 inches.

Yes. It comes with two downrods-a short and long. I used the short for my lower ceiling height and it works great.

Good luck with finding a 1/2" down rod. They do not carry them at Lowe's, Home Depot, or WalMart. You can order them but they are 3X the cost of a standard size 3/4". Some lighting stores have them but matching the Litex finishes may be difficult. I am returning the 2 fans I ordered because I refuse to pay $30 for a down rod that sticks out like a sore thumb.

I received a 3" down rod which was not long enough for my vaulted ceiling. I had to purchase a 48" down rod later on Amazon.

They are all the same style but different lengths and paint colors to choose from. The goal is to have the fan as low as possible to you (while still being safe) to give maximum airflow. The length of your downrod depends on if your ceiling is angled or not and by what angle. The blades need to safely clear the ceiling of course.
