My ceiling is vaulted and the recommended height for the fan to be above floor level is 8ft, so is it possible to connect several downrods together

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.

It's not a good idea to connect several downroads. 8ft is a minimum for a ceiling fan. I bought a 72" downroad for my 19' great room. It looks and works great.

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. Ceiling Height Downrod Length 9ft. or less standard down rod (3 inches) 10ft. - 11ft. 1 ft. rod or standard if preferred 11ft. - 12ft. 18" - 24" down rod 12ft. - 14ft. 36" down rod 14ft. - 16ft. 48" down rod 16ft. + 72" down rod 17ft. + Custom down rod

I wouldn't think you could because the end going into the fan is threaded and the ceiling end is not. My fan is 12-13 feet above the floor and I don't have any problems with airflow (heating or cooling). I think if you could extend the rod, you may have problems with sway, but I do believe you can buy longer rods. Just my thought

I'm no expert, but a fan can be fitted to any ceiling unless it is too low. Down rods come in many lengths. If you are going to DIY then ask your local hardware supply store what you need. My ceiling is vaulted and I have 2 fans mounted with single rods. I don't know if they are at 8' or not. They seem to work fine.

No. For rods to connect, they would have to screw into one another. However, while one end has screw threads, the inside of the other end does not. As others have said, you'll have to get a single rod of the right length.

So we have a really short downrod. U need it to handle the vibration caused by the fan. Great fan thought. We haven them in our kid's rooms where the ceiling is not very high and it works great.

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.

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

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.

You may be able to find a shorter downrod, but i think you need it. The fan sits pretty close to the ceiling as is, with the included downrod. Good luck

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

I located the manual, Elizabeth. The minimum clearance height from the floor is 7'. With the down rod provided, it appears that the unit hangs 12 or 13". Hard for me to tell because it is mounted on a slant ceiling outside and was running.. So it will be very close for 8' ceiling. This is the Phone number in the manual for Emerson Technical support.....1-800-654-3545....for questions.. the fan does indeed move a lot of air..... Dorothy

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.

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.

This fan might be at 8 feet when installed on your ceiling. As the down rod is 6 inches it self . Hope this info will help you with your decision :0)

We have 8' ceilings and I'm just under 6 feet tall and I'm far enough from the ceiling (probably at least 8-10 inches). However, be careful if you have a fan!

Hi Ed, Thanks for the question. This fan requires a minimum ceiling height of at least 92.5" in order to meet building codes, so you should be fine because 8.5 feet measures 102". Also, this fan cannot be flush mounted, but again, you should be just fine with your ceiling height. We hope this helps!

If by vaulted do you mean sloping ceiling? The answer is yes. As with all Hunters there is a single ball pivot on the inside so it should accommodate you needs.This a very very quiet fan, which is essential at our house. I installed it myself so know that it is heavy and MUST BE BOLTED INTO A BEAM, not just surface MOUNTED IN FLIMSY SHEET ROCK.GOOD LUCK.

Hi Triloron,Thanks for the question. We're not sure what that reviewer meant, but the shortest downrod you can use is 3 1/2" and is included. As far as ceiling height requirements, this fan requires a minimum ceiling height of at least 92.5" in order to meet building codes. If your ceiling is lower than 92.5" then you may consider a different fan, especially because this fan cannot be flushmounted.

Yes! I have mine hung on a sloped vaulted ceiling & it looks great. The wires/cords it hangs from are adjustable so it's rather simple to make it level no matter what ceiling type you have.

I bought the fan year ago. If I remember correctly, you need the downrod to connect the ceiling canopy to the upper fan canopy. Otherwise I don't see how you can connect the 2 parts. I have a low ceiling (8 feet) and the included 3" downrod is just the perfect length for the job.
