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.

This fan comes with short down rod about 3 inches for mounting close to the ceiling, but it has to be mounted with a down rod (two included). If you have a regular flat ceiling, it should work fine. If your ceiling is sloped, you'll need a longer down rod (sold separately).

NO! it is designed for a down rod. The short down rod supplied will get closeenough to the ceiling. If you're 6'4" you will be just fine with the fan mounted toan eight foot ceiling

No. The hole would need to be enlarged to 10+ inches for the main body of the fan. However, the hole needs to be quite a bit larger than that to install the brackets which run between the joists. It may be possible to work from floor above. Keep in mind you may need additional wiring for all the lighting options.

Hi AMT,Thanks for the question. This fan requires a minimum ceiling height of at least 94.52" in order to meet building codes. If your ceiling is 8ft then it is 96", so you should be fine. We hope this helps. If you need anything else, please reach out to one of our awesome experts. Not only do they know everything, they're also literally sitting right next to their phones right now :)Hansen Wholesale1-800-201-1193

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.

I had two of these fans installed on normal height ceilings (8 ft.) using the enclosed 3 inch down rod. The bottom of the lights are 6' 5" above the floor. As I am 6 ft. tall they work fine for me. Of course they can be mounted without a down rod, gaining 3 inches, or with a longer down rod. I had them installed by an electrician who told me they have never had a problem with a hunter fan. I am pleased with the two that I have.

u could install the transformer and the four track supports on an incline,,, the supports will attach perpendicular to your ceiling,,, there is no way to break perpendicularity between track and supports, butthe wire coming out of the support will follow gravity and will hang down straight. I don't know if IM being clear enough,, the three wires will hang down straight but the track-transformer-support assembly must be parallel with your ceiling

Mine came with a downrod of about 3 to 4 inches in length, which works great for a level ceiling. The blades are roughly 12 to 14 inches from the actual ceiling surface. However, if you are going to mount it on a vaulted ceiling, how low you want it to hang, plus how much of a pitch your ceiling has would be the determining factor. Hope this helps!

The wires probably had 2 feet or so of length. You WILL need more for a ft down rod. But great fan! You'll love it.

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.

The fan does not come with pipes to extend the fan down so you would need to buy that separately. You would have to customize it

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 Metropolitan ceiling fan comes with a 12" and 6" down-rod standard. With a 6" down-rod and the motors oriented downward the fan hangs 16 1/2" down from ceiling (ceiling to bottom point of the fan).Thank you,Michael H.Dan's Fan City

You can purchase extensions at hardware stores to enable the fan to hang lower. I have seen up to 4 ft of these extensions.

I have three of these fans mounted in a vaulted ceiling. I bought this adaptor for $10 at Home Depot and it worked great. NuTone Model # CFSABSInternet # 202944264 Sloped Brushed Steel Ceiling Fan Adapter

If you want the bottom of your fan to be 7ft, then use a 10-1/2ft (126in) down-rod. If you want the bottom of your fan to be at 8ft, then use a 9-1/2ft (114in.) down-rod. Formula: Ceiling height(ft.) minus fan bottom height(ft.) plus 2.5ft, equals down-rod length in feet.
