Does anyone know if a 12" downrod is required if you are installing this fan with 10' ft ceilings?

It is not required....depends on where you want the fan to hang. I had to send the fan back unfortunately. Only worked for a few days. Looks nice though.

It is a great light & fan very high quality, we installed it in a walk in closet. We have 9' ceilings and installed it ourselves and it needs a short down pipe.. In our installation the exposed down pipe from the dome to the ceiling is 6 inches and total from ceiling to bottom fan is 16 inches. You could probably reduce the expose part of the down pipe come out of the ceiling from 6" to 2"---this would reduce the overall drop ceiling to the bottom of the fan to 12". Hope this helps.

No Cannot connect Several Downrods. Depending on your ceiling height will depend on the size of your downrod. I used a 24 inch downrod on a 11' ceiling and it is a good height.

10" with the supplied mounting shaft. There are other lengths available so the fan can be mounted on 9',10', 12' high ceilings. If you have high ceilings just get a longer mounting shaft, the supplied wire are 5' long so there won't be a problem there.Don

No. Unfortunately they can't be from what I saw. We have a vaulted as well and ordered the length of downrod the installer suggested and the fan looks great.

This fan can be flush mounted and comes with a (I think) 4" downrod. I ordered a 24" downrod for our fan. Here is the link for the matching downrod:Hunter 28966 24" Extension Downrod Burled Brown

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

This is what I want to know as well. Our ceiling slants so need to know if the included 6" rod will be enough to allow for clearance. If I need an additional downrod can someone post a link? Are downrods universal or must I buy a specific one for thin Minka Aire F1000 model? Thanks.

Hi Dano, thanks for the question. The height from top to bottom on this fan is 20.19 inches. But the downrod itself is a standard 12" inches. We hope this helps!

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.

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

By checking the directions, I think you must use a downrod, but they include a shorter downroad for fans installed close to the ceiling. Absolutely flush does not look like an option.

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.

The fan only comes with a downrod; if you wanted to mount it flush to the ceiling you would have to buy flush mount adapter kit.

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)

We too have a 10' ceiling and ours comes down about a foot. If I had the option, I'd probably bring it down another 6" or so, but it does just fine up there. It's a nice piece.

Mark, while it is best to use a new downrod, the downrod that comes with this fan is 3/4" inside diameter. If the downrod you have is a 3/4" downrod, it will likely work. Can't promise it will ... but it should. We look forward to helping you with your order. Lighthouse Supply. 1-888-642-0089.
