Decorative Ceiling Fan Pulls – The flush-style ceiling fan is mounted snugly next to a designated horizontal fairly low ceiling where it can be dealt with, and from where it delivers a comforting room breeze. It comes in several diameters, from about 28 to 60-inches, depending on the size of room being fitted, which enable it to cost typically from $30 to $300. It generally has three fan motor speeds, that happen to be reversible. Except for the tools and possible other regions needed for installing them, their self-assemble kits feature the rest. In many cases, the fan, that can have its own lighting, will replace a ceiling fitting.
Safety, The electricity should be off once your there where the fan shall be installed. If the fan is replacing a fitting, de-activate its fuse or circuit breaker along with flipping its wall switch the signal from the off position. Stand on a sturdy wide-berth step stool or ladder through the installation; don’t lean or get into 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 additional screws for securing the junction box, if necessary
Installation steps (reading the fan installation instructions thoroughly). 1. Remove the fitting in the ceiling. With the electricity off, slowly remove the shade, bulbs, and fixture screws in the electrical junction box in the ceiling. Let the skeleton fixture hang there. With the light tester, guarantee the wire connections for this fixture are cold (test light will always be 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 as well as a white one. Tip: also confirm the firmness of the electrical box in the 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 in the box for the kids. The ceiling fan is heavier as opposed to fitting. It also wobbles slightly during operation. 2. Install the mounting bracket. After stripping the ends of the tailing wires in the junction box cleanly, install the mounting bracket on the box while using two 5/32″ screw-bolts provided. Let the tailing wires hang outside of the bracket. 3. Hang the motor assembly in the bracket. Insert the topside motor-hanger to the centralized holder of the bracket. Insert the plastic lock clip that holds it into place. Note: the hanging motor assembly should really swivel slightly. 4. Connect the wiring. Generally, the motor assembly has two so-called hot wires, a black one for that motor as well as a blue or off-color one for that lights to become attached below it. Overlap the stripped ends of these two wires (motor and lights) together while using stripped end of the black ceiling wire in the box, and twist connect them together while using wire nut provided. Connect the white assembly wire on the white ceiling wire much the same way.
Then, to help keep these connections from loosening as the fan is working, tape the wide lower ends of these nuts on their wires with electrical tape. Also, attach the green fan wire (ground wire in the bracket frame) on the electrical box if your box can be grounded having a third bare or green wire. Otherwise, if your electrical box in not grounded, ask an expert about it green wire connection. Some will say to let it sit be, i.e., do nothing with it. Others could suggest further wiring? 5. Install the flush-mount motor shroud. Install the motor shroud on the far ends of the mounting bracket while using small screws provided. It covers/hides the sides of the motor as well as the wiring and ceiling box. 6. Assemble the fan blades (four to six) and mount them. After choosing the top or bottom reversible blade color scheme preferred, attach the blades on their end brackets while using screws and washers provided. Then mount the blades on the bottom side of fan motor while using bolts, lock washers, and dampening gaskets provided. Note: these latter pieces sometimes are partially pre-installed on the motor to help keep them separate in the rest of the kit hardware.
Tip: to help keep the motor from becoming too off-level during this step, install the blades one at a time opposite together to start with. 7. Install the lighting assembly. Attach the fan’s lighting assembly on the small round central housing unit just underneath the fan blades through quick-wire-connectors and small screws provided. Install the glass shades, bulbs, and pull-chain extenders in the order instructed. Note: a housing cap is provided if your lighting assembly is just not wanted unconditionally. 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 ahead on while using wall switch, as the fan itself is controlled with the pull-chain switch only, initially set in the off position. Note: The ceiling fan has a reversible motor switch that permits the draft either to go upward or downward as preferred. For more information on ceiling fan installation, see the following sites.
