Chandelier Light Kit For Ceiling Fan – The flush-style ceiling fan is mounted snugly close to a designated horizontal fairly low ceiling where it really is off the beaten track, and where it delivers a comforting room breeze. It comes in several diameters, from about 28 to 60-inches, with respect to the room size being fitted, and can 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 include any devices. In many cases, the fan, that may have its lighting, will replace a ceiling light fixture.
Safety, The electricity have to be off once your there the location where the fan shall be installed. If the fan is replacing a light fixture, de-activate its fuse or circuit breaker as well as flipping its wall exchange signal of the off position. Stand on a sturdy wide-berth step stool or ladder during the installation; don’t lean or enter into 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 additional screws for securing the junction box, if required
Installation steps (looking at the fan installation instructions thoroughly). 1. Remove the light fixture in the ceiling. With the electricity off, slowly get rid of the shade, bulbs, and fixture screws in the electrical junction box within the ceiling. Let the skeleton fixture hang there. With the light tester, make sure the wire connections for this fixture are cold (the exam light will stay off). Cut the wires, leaving 3-5″ of tail in order to connect these 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 check the firmness in the electrical box within the ceiling. If it really is not solidly attached to the ceiling, add two extra screws to its top side, which can require drilling two holes within the box for them. The ceiling fan is heavier than the light fixture. It also wobbles slightly during operation. 2. Install the mounting bracket. After stripping the ends in the tailing wires within the junction box cleanly, install the mounting bracket for the box while using two 5/32″ screw-bolts provided. Let the tailing wires hang outside in the bracket. 3. Hang the motor assembly in the bracket. Insert the topside motor-hanger in the centralized holder in 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 that motor along with a blue or off-color one for that lights being attached below it. Overlap the stripped ends of those two wires (motor and lights) together while using stripped end in the black ceiling wire within the box, and twist connect them together while using wire nut provided. Connect the white assembly wire for the white ceiling wire much the same way.
Then, to keep these connections from loosening as the fan is working, tape the wide lower ends of those nuts with their wires with electrical tape. Also, attach the green fan wire (ground wire in the bracket frame) for 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 concerning this green wire connection. Some will say to let it sit be, i.e., relax with it. Others could suggest further wiring? 5. Install the flush-mount motor shroud. Install the motor shroud for the far ends in the mounting bracket while using small screws provided. It covers/hides the sides in the motor along with the wiring and ceiling box. 6. Assemble the fan blades (3 to 5) 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 keep them separate in the rest in the kit hardware.
Tip: to keep the motor from becoming too off-level within this step, install the blades individually opposite together first of all. 7. Install the lighting assembly. Attach the fan’s lighting assembly for the small round central housing unit just underneath the fan blades through the quick-wire-connectors and small screws provided. Install the glass shades, bulbs, and pull-chain extenders within the order instructed. Note: a housing cap is provided when the lighting assembly is just not 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 into the future on while using wall switch, as the fan itself is controlled with the pull-chain switch only, initially set within the off position. Note: The ceiling fan includes 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.
