Clarkston 44 In Indoor Oil Rubbed Bronze Ceiling Fan With Light Kit in dimensions 1000 X 1000Oil Rubbed Bronze Ceiling Fan With Light Flush Mount – The flush-style ceiling fan is mounted snugly beside a set horizontal fairly low ceiling where it is out of the way, and from which it delivers a comforting room breeze. It comes in several diameters, from about 28 to 60-inches, according to the size of room being fitted, and can cost typically from $30 to $300. It generally has three fan motor speeds, which are reversible. Except for the equipment and possible other parts needed for installing them, their self-assemble kits have the rest. In many cases, the fan, that may have its very own lighting, will replace a ceiling light fixture.
Safety, The electricity has to be off once your there in which the fan is usually to be installed. If the fan is replacing a light fixture, turn off its fuse or circuit breaker along with flipping its wall exchange signal of the off position. Stand on a sturdy wide-berth step stool or ladder throughout the installation; do not lean or enter into 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 additional screws for securing the junction box, if required
Installation steps (looking at the fan installation instructions thoroughly). 1. Remove the light fixture through the ceiling. With the electricity off, slowly take away the shade, bulbs, and fixture screws through the electrical junction box inside the ceiling. Let the skeleton fixture hang there. With the light tester, guarantee the wire connections to this fixture are cold (the test light will continue to be off). Cut the wires, leaving 3-5″ of tail allowing you to connect these to the ceiling fan motor assembly. If the residence is old, only two wires might exist, a black one and a white one. Tip: also look into the firmness with the electrical box inside the 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 the box for the children. The ceiling fan is heavier compared to the light fixture. It also wobbles slightly during operation. 2. Install the mounting bracket. After stripping the ends with the tailing wires inside the junction box cleanly, install the mounting bracket for the box with the two 5/32″ screw-bolts provided. Let the tailing wires hang outside with the bracket. 3. Hang the motor assembly through the bracket. Insert the topside motor-hanger in to the centralized holder with 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 your motor and a blue or off-color one for your lights to be attached below it. Overlap the stripped ends of those two wires (motor and lights) together with the stripped end with the black ceiling wire inside the box, and twist connect them together with the wire nut provided. Connect the white assembly wire for the white ceiling wire exactly the same.
Then, to maintain these connections from loosening as the fan is working, tape the wide lower ends of those nuts for their wires with electrical tape. Also, attach the green fan wire (ground wire through the bracket frame) for the electrical box if the box is additionally grounded with a third bare or green wire. Otherwise, if the electrical box in not grounded, ask an experienced about this green wire connection. Some will say to let it sit 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 with the mounting bracket with the small screws provided. It covers/hides the perimeters with the motor as well as 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 for their end brackets with the screws and washers provided. Then mount the blades for the bottom side of fan motor with the bolts, lock washers, and dampening gaskets provided. Note: these latter pieces sometimes are partially pre-installed for the motor to maintain them separate through 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 together to start with. 7. Install the lighting assembly. Attach the fan’s lighting assembly for the small round central housing unit just under the fan blades through the quick-wire-connectors and small screws provided. Install the glass shades, bulbs, and pull-chain extenders inside the order instructed. Note: a housing cap is provided if the lighting assembly is just not wanted unconditionally. 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 with the wall switch, as the fan itself is controlled by the pull-chain switch only, initially set inside the off position. Note: The ceiling fan carries a reversible motor switch that permits the draft either to go upward or downward as preferred.
