do I have to use the down rod or can I mount closer to the ceiling?

Don't think so from what I recall. The downrod is only about 2.5inches from the ceiling mount cap. Very, very, very short downrod. You wouldn't gain anything if it could mount closer.

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

Down rod is adjustable. it comes in 4 threaded sections (2 - 12", 2 - 15") that can be connected in any combination. I used 1 of each length in the room with a 10' ceiling and nobody bumps their head - yet it is low enough to the large coffee table to allow for good reading light.

Yes you can. The device is recommended to mount between 8' and 12' ceiling.

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.

You have to figure out how far from your ceiling you want the fan mounted. If it's a high ceiling get a longer down rod if it's regulsr height the ones with the fan should be OK.

The fan may be installed w/o a down rod but with fan and light shade requires about 18" of clearance from the ceiling.

I could not find anything in the instructions that mentioned a flush mount or how to mount the unit flush (against the ceiling) so I used the shortest drop rod.My ceiling height in the small bedroom I installed this unit in would not allow me to use the light kit as I would be bumping my head into it as it would hang too low.The ceiling fan works great without the light kit and looks very nice, but I would have preferred a light that I could have used. Also instructions for installing the fan without the light are not in the supplied instructions, you must get them online, which I found irritating. It's very simple, but it should be included on the instruction sheet.

I hung it from my ceiling and it worked fine. The rod wasn't long enough for me but I bought a longer one from the hardware store to get it further from the ceiling.

The included rod is about 6 inches to a foot. The Casablanca web site has a table that shows the length of downrod needed for each height of ceiling. I used a 3 foot rod for my 16 ft ceiling. Amazon has the various lengths/finishes available.

As designed, the system will lower to 8 feet FROM the ceiling. If you try to MacGyver something to lower further, it MIGHT work, but do you trust it enough to be walking/parking under it at that point? Personally, I wouldn't do it.

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.

All necessary hardware is included for standard ceiling mount. Straight rod is short! If you require longer rod Home Depot is the ticket

The way you see it pictured is considered flush mount but not using the extension rod. They do make true "flush mount fans" but they come down just as far if not further off the ceiling. This particular one really comes down pretty far so I would only recommend it if you have a 7 1/2 foot ceiling or more or in an area that would not cause injury to someone that is taller. I love ours and it is beautiful looking. Make sure you have enough clearance were you intend to install it with or without the extension rod

I was using a universal fan remote and could not fit this into the ceiling space unless I used the down rod bracket, otherwise yes it mounts straight to the ceiling.

I mounted mine less than 4" below the ceiling by cutting the down tube so that the holes in the tube were closer to the ceiling as far as the 28+" from ceiling to base, that would depend on the measurements of your tv. But you can raise your tv and mount to less than 4" by cutting the tube.

Is there a way to mount this fan on the side of a beam? Perhaps with clamps, etc? And using the 12" down rod? Txs

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.
