Flush Mount Caged Ceiling Fan – The flush-style ceiling fan is mounted snugly close to a designated horizontal fairly low ceiling where it’s off the beaten track, and from 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, and may cost typically from $30 to $300. It generally has three fan motor speeds, that happen to be reversible. Except for the various tools and possible other areas required for installing them, their self-assemble kits have the rest. In many cases, the fan, that may have its lighting, will replace a ceiling permanent fixture.

Safety, The electricity must be off at the site in which the fan is to be installed. If the fan is replacing a permanent fixture, turn off its fuse or circuit breaker in addition to flipping its wall switch the signal from the off position. Stand on a sturdy wide-berth step stool or ladder in the installation; don’t lean or enter a twisted position while there. Also, wear protective eyeglasses or goggles. Furthermore, if additional auxiliary household wiring is required, get professional advice or help first. Tools needed, instructions (electrical) eyeglasses 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 further screws for securing the junction box, if necessary

Installation steps (seeing the fan installation instructions thoroughly). 1. Remove the permanent fixture through the ceiling. With the electricity off, slowly eliminate the shade, bulbs, and fixture screws through the electrical junction box inside ceiling. Let the skeleton fixture hang there. With the light tester, make sure the wire connections for this fixture are cold (quality light will remain off). Cut the wires, leaving 3-5″ of tail allowing you to connect them to the ceiling fan motor assembly. If the residence is old, only two wires might exist, a black one along with a white one. Tip: also confirm the firmness from the electrical box inside ceiling. If it’s not solidly attached to the ceiling, add two extra screws to its top side, that might require drilling two holes inside box on their behalf. The ceiling fan is heavier compared to permanent fixture. It also wobbles slightly during operation. 2. Install the mounting bracket. After stripping the ends from the tailing wires inside junction box cleanly, install the mounting bracket for the box while using two 5/32″ screw-bolts provided. Let the tailing wires hang outside from the bracket. 3. Hang the motor assembly through the bracket. Insert the topside motor-hanger in to the centralized holder from the bracket. Insert the plastic lock clip that holds it into place. Note: the hanging motor assembly should certainly swivel slightly. 4. Connect the wiring. Generally, the motor assembly has two so-called hot wires, a black one to the motor along with a blue or off-color one to the lights to be attached below it. Overlap the stripped ends of such two wires (motor and lights) together while using stripped end from the black ceiling wire inside box, and twist connect them together while using wire nut provided. Connect the white assembly wire for the white ceiling wire exactly the same way.


Then, to hold these connections from loosening while 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 through the bracket frame) for the electrical box if your box can also be grounded using a third bare or green wire. Otherwise, if your electrical box in not grounded, ask a specialist about this green wire connection. Some will say to let it rest be, i.e., do nothing at all by using it. Others could suggest further wiring? 5. Install the flush-mount motor shroud. Install the motor shroud for the far ends from the mounting bracket while using small screws provided. It covers/hides the edges from the motor and the wiring and ceiling box. 6. Assemble the fan blades (3 to 4) and mount them. After picking out 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 for the bottom side of fan motor while using bolts, lock washers, and dampening gaskets provided. Note: these latter pieces sometimes are partially pre-installed for the motor to hold them separate through the rest from the kit hardware.

Tip: to hold the motor from becoming too off-level within this step, install the blades one at a time opposite to one another to begin with. 7. Install the lighting assembly. Attach the fan’s lighting assembly for the small round central housing unit just beneath the fan blades through 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 is just not 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 in the future on while using wall switch, while the fan itself is controlled from the pull-chain switch only, initially set inside off position. Note: The ceiling fan has a reversible motor switch that allows the draft either to go upward or downward as preferred.
