Twin Ceiling Fan – The flush-style ceiling fan is mounted snugly alongside a designated horizontal fairly low ceiling where it is off the beaten track, and from which it delivers a comforting room breeze. It comes in several diameters, from about 28 to 60-inches, depending on the room size 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 instruments and possible the rest needed for installing them, their self-assemble kits include the rest. In many cases, the fan, that will have its very own lighting, will replace a ceiling permanent fixture.
Safety, The electricity should be off to begin where the fan is to be installed. If the fan is replacing a permanent fixture, power down its fuse or circuit breaker along with flipping its wall switch to the off position. Stand on a sturdy wide-berth step stool or ladder through the installation; tend not to 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 extra screws for securing the junction box, as appropriate
Installation steps (seeing the fan installation instructions thoroughly). 1. Remove the permanent fixture through the ceiling. With the electricity off, slowly get rid of the shade, bulbs, and fixture screws through the electrical junction box inside ceiling. Let the skeleton fixture hang there. With the light tester, guarantee the wire connections to this particular fixture are cold (quality light will always be off). Cut the wires, leaving 3-5″ of tail in order to connect 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 check the firmness in the electrical box inside ceiling. If it is not solidly coupled to the ceiling, add two extra screws to its top side, which can require drilling two holes inside box for the kids. The ceiling fan is heavier compared to permanent fixture. It also wobbles slightly during operation. 2. Install the mounting bracket. After stripping the ends in the tailing wires inside junction box cleanly, install the mounting bracket to the box while using two 5/32″ screw-bolts provided. Let the tailing wires hang outside in the bracket. 3. Hang the motor assembly through the bracket. Insert the topside motor-hanger in to the centralized holder in 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 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 inside box, and twist connect them together while using wire nut provided. Connect the white assembly wire to the white ceiling wire the same way.
Then, to maintain these connections from loosening while 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 through the bracket frame) to the electrical box in the event the box is also grounded using a third bare or green wire. Otherwise, in the event the 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 by it. Others could suggest further wiring? 5. Install the flush-mount motor shroud. Install the motor shroud to the far ends in the mounting bracket while using small screws provided. It covers/hides the edges in the motor along with the wiring and ceiling box. 6. Assemble the fan blades (3 to 4) and mount them. After deciding on 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 to the bottom side of fan motor while using bolts, lock washers, and dampening gaskets provided. Note: these latter pieces sometimes are partially pre-installed to the motor to maintain them separate through the rest in the kit hardware.
Tip: to maintain the motor from becoming too off-level during this step, install the blades one by one opposite together to start with. 7. Install the lighting assembly. Attach the fan’s lighting assembly to the small round central housing unit just under the fan blades via 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 in the event the lighting assembly is just not wanted for any reason. 8. Test the fan and lights. After turning the electricity back on, flip the wall switch to 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 includes a reversible motor switch that allows the draft either to go upward or downward as preferred.
