Intertek Ceiling Fan – The flush-style ceiling fan is mounted snugly next to a designated horizontal fairly low ceiling where it can be taken care of, and from where it delivers a comforting room breeze. It comes in several diameters, from about 28 to 60-inches, with regards to the room size being fitted, and may cost typically from $30 to $300. It generally has three fan motor speeds, which are reversible. Except for the tools and possible other regions needed for installing them, their self-assemble kits have the rest. In many cases, the fan, that will have its own lighting, will replace a ceiling fitting.
Safety, The electricity must be off at the site the place that the fan will be installed. If the fan is replacing a fitting, de-activate its fuse or circuit breaker together with flipping its wall exchange signal of the off position. Stand on a sturdy wide-berth step stool or ladder during 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 is necessary, 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 further screws for securing the junction box, as appropriate
Installation steps (looking at the fan installation instructions thoroughly). 1. Remove the fitting in the ceiling. With the electricity off, slowly get rid of the shade, bulbs, and fixture screws in the electrical junction box inside ceiling. Let the skeleton fixture hang there. With the light tester, guarantee the wire connections for this fixture are cold (the test light will stay off). Cut the wires, leaving 3-5″ of tail in order to connect these phones the ceiling fan motor assembly. If the home is old, only two wires might exist, a black one and a white one. Tip: also confirm the firmness with the electrical box inside ceiling. If it can be not solidly connected to the ceiling, add two extra screws to its top side, which could require drilling two holes inside box for them. The ceiling fan is heavier compared to the fitting. It also wobbles slightly during operation. 2. Install the mounting bracket. After stripping the ends with the tailing wires inside junction box cleanly, install the mounting bracket to the box with the two 5/32″ screw-bolts provided. Let the tailing wires hang outside with the bracket. 3. Hang the motor assembly in the bracket. Insert the topside motor-hanger in the centralized holder with the bracket. Insert the plastic lock clip that holds it into place. Note: the hanging motor assembly really should swivel slightly. 4. Connect the wiring. Generally, the motor assembly has two so-called hot wires, a black one for the motor and a blue or off-color one for the lights being attached below it. Overlap the stripped ends of such two wires (motor and lights) together with the stripped end with the black ceiling wire inside box, and twist connect them together with the wire nut provided. Connect the white assembly wire to the white ceiling wire the same way.
Then, to maintain 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 in the bracket frame) to the electrical box when the box can be grounded with a third bare or green wire. Otherwise, when the electrical box in not grounded, ask an experienced relating to this green wire connection. Some will say to leave it be, i.e., do nothing at all by it. Others could suggest further wiring? 5. Install the flush-mount motor shroud. Install the motor shroud to the far ends with the mounting bracket with the small screws provided. It covers/hides the sides with the motor as well as the wiring and ceiling box. 6. Assemble the fan blades (four to six) and mount them. After deciding on the top or bottom reversible blade color scheme preferred, attach the blades with their end brackets with the screws and washers provided. Then mount the blades to the bottom side of fan motor with the bolts, lock washers, and dampening gaskets provided. Note: these latter pieces sometimes are partially pre-installed to the motor to maintain them separate in the rest with the kit hardware.
Tip: to maintain the motor from becoming too off-level with this step, install the blades one-by-one opposite to one another to begin with. 7. Install the lighting assembly. Attach the fan’s lighting assembly to the small round central housing unit just below the fan blades through 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 when the lighting assembly isn’t wanted without any reason. 8. Test the fan and lights. After turning the electricity back on, flip the wall exchange signal of on. Set the pull-chain switches as desired. Often, the fan lighting is set in the future on with the wall switch, whilst the fan itself is controlled from the pull-chain switch only, initially set inside off position. Note: The ceiling fan includes a reversible motor switch that allows the draft either to go upward or downward as preferred.
