I would think any standard industrial strength extension cord would work, no matter the length. But it does come with a pretty long cord itself, about 6'.

It is designed to be wired into a ceiling fixture. An electrician could wire a plug to the cord so that it could be plugged into an outlet, but the cord length may be an issue.

Don't know, yet, sorry. I have not installed this fan so far. The one I already own has pull cords so I've got my fingers crossed!

See no reason why not. I am not an electrician but I personally have them hanging on chains and solid mounted to the ceiling but if I needed I would mount it on the wall.

The fan should be mounted to a well supported box. I see no reasons you could not run a power cord into the box.

The fan that I received had a heavy power cord with 3 prong plug. I use the fan as a cooling fan for our greenhouse and it has worked like a charm - had no problems with it (it runs all summer long when the temp gets too high).

this is a three speed switch, my ceiling fan has three speeds,, I imagine if you didnt want a fourth speed and tied your wire off, you could use it. I am not an electrician nor can I say to do it, that is up to you,, I had two problems, one my switch stuck, the chain stuck, and two, my capacitor on the middle speed opened. so I only have two speeds currently on my ceiling fan. Of course all my wires are intact as it is a three speed switch, three speed ceiling fan. Hope that answered your question.

Yes there is a connector that is approximately 1" long and 1/4" thick between the fan cable and the power cord. The fan cable itself is approximately 10 1/2" long and the power cord is approximately 45" long. I hope this helps answer your question.

More modern homes/apartments seem to have electrical outlets near the windows as in my case. I have a double size window in the bedroom and I can put the fan in either windows, and, the cord will reach the outlet on the opposite side of the window.Sorry I don't have the exact measurement of the attached cord.

I use the fan with a wall switch & the pull-cord varies the speed. There is a there is a switch on the fan for forward or reverse. I do not see another place for an on/off cord, but perhaps the electrician had the choice of parts when he installed it. It's been a while...sorry.

FYI The wiring is long enough to probably use a 4 foot poll. its also a very nice fan!

Just buy a 12 gauge extension cord and cut off the receptacle end to expose the black, white and ground wires which you can attach to the fan. It is more flexible than trying to use Romex or BX cables.

It has a regular plug. Directions recommend putting a outlet box within reach of the mounted fan. I just ran an exterior extension cord to a outlet I already had at the entrance to my crawlspace. Been working fine for these 2-3 years.

It has a standard 110V plug - so, as long as there is an outlet nearby, it is just like plugging in a lamp.We ensured the fan brackets (on ceiling) were mounted into the floor joists, so it was secure. But, for the electrical, it is just a normal plug.We bought 2 and love them.

Our builder had all the electrical hookups installed in the ceiling so the installer didn't have any trouble hooking it up. The unit didn't come with a electrical cord so I bought one at Home Depot. Not sure about the fan in the summer.

Sorry - not sure. I did not use them in that configuration. They were used in a ceiling fan - simple on/off.

The fan does not include a cord. It has a standard connection box. Mine is wired with 14 AWG in flex from the fan to a wall mounted box.
