Stained Glass Ceiling Fan Light Kit – The flush-style ceiling fan is mounted snugly close to a set horizontal fairly low ceiling where it’s taken care of, and where it delivers a comforting room breeze. It comes in several diameters, from about 28 to 60-inches, according to the room size being fitted, which enable it to cost typically from $30 to $300. It generally has three fan motor speeds, that are reversible. Except for the equipment and possible other parts necessary for installing them, their self-assemble kits come with any devices. In many cases, the fan, that can have a unique lighting, will replace a ceiling light fixture.
Safety, The electricity should be off to begin in which the fan shall be installed. If the fan is replacing a light fixture, power down its fuse or circuit breaker together with flipping its wall switch the signal from the off position. Stand on a sturdy wide-berth step stool or ladder in the installation; do not lean or end up in a twisted position while there. Also, wear protective eye glasses or goggles. Furthermore, if additional auxiliary household wiring should be used, get professional advice or help first. Tools needed, instructions (electrical) eye glasses or goggles step-stool/ladder Phillips screwdrivers pliers electrical tape knife or sissors AC tester light wire cutter/stripper tape measure (optional) electric drill and extra screws for securing the junction box, if required
Installation steps (looking at the fan installation instructions thoroughly). 1. Remove the light fixture from your ceiling. With the electricity off, slowly get rid of the shade, bulbs, and fixture screws from your electrical junction box inside ceiling. Let the skeleton fixture hang there. With the light tester, ensure the wire connections to this particular fixture are cold (the exam light will stay off). Cut the wires, leaving 3-5″ of tail for connecting the crooks to the ceiling fan motor assembly. If the house is old, only two wires might exist, a black one along with a white one. Tip: also confirm the firmness of the electrical box inside ceiling. If it’s not solidly coupled to the ceiling, add two extra screws to its top side, which could require drilling two holes inside box on their behalf. The ceiling fan is heavier compared to light fixture. It also wobbles slightly during operation. 2. Install the mounting bracket. After stripping the ends of the tailing wires inside junction box cleanly, install the mounting bracket towards the box while using two 5/32″ screw-bolts provided. Let the tailing wires hang outside of the bracket. 3. Hang the motor assembly from your bracket. Insert the topside motor-hanger into the centralized holder of the bracket. Insert the plastic lock clip that holds it into place. Note: the hanging motor assembly is supposed to swivel slightly. 4. Connect the wiring. Generally, the motor assembly has two so-called hot wires, a black one for your motor along with a blue or off-color one for your lights to get attached below it. Overlap the stripped ends of such two wires (motor and lights) together while using stripped end of the black ceiling wire inside box, and twist connect them together while using wire nut provided. Connect the white assembly wire towards the white ceiling wire much the same way.
Then, to hold these connections from loosening whilst the fan is working, tape the wide lower ends of such nuts with their wires with electrical tape. Also, attach the green fan wire (ground wire from your bracket frame) towards the electrical box if your box can also be grounded with a third bare or green wire. Otherwise, if your electrical box in not grounded, ask a specialist relating to this green wire connection. Some will say to leave it be, i.e., relax with it. Others could suggest further wiring? 5. Install the flush-mount motor shroud. Install the motor shroud towards the far ends of the mounting bracket while using small screws provided. It covers/hides the edges of the motor along with the wiring and ceiling box. 6. Assemble the fan blades (4 to 6) and mount them. After choosing the top or bottom reversible blade color scheme preferred, attach the blades with their end brackets while using screws and washers provided. Then mount the blades towards the bottom side of fan motor while using bolts, lock washers, and dampening gaskets provided. Note: these latter pieces sometimes are partially pre-installed towards the motor to hold them separate from your rest of the kit hardware.
Tip: to hold the motor from becoming too off-level during this step, install the blades individually opposite to each other to begin with. 7. Install the lighting assembly. Attach the fan’s lighting assembly towards the small round central housing unit just beneath the fan blades using the quick-wire-connectors and small screws provided. Install the glass shades, bulbs, and pull-chain extenders inside order instructed. Note: a housing cap is provided if your lighting assembly just isn’t wanted without any reason. 8. Test the fan and lights. After turning the electricity back on, flip the wall switch the signal from on. Set the pull-chain switches as desired. Often, the fan lighting is set to come on while using wall switch, whilst the fan itself is controlled through the pull-chain switch only, initially set inside off position. Note: The ceiling fan carries a reversible motor switch which allows the draft either to go upward or downward as preferred. For more information on ceiling fan installation, see the following sites.
