Ceiling Fans With Lights For Low Ceilings Epic Ceiling Fan Light Kit within dimensions 1600 X 1199Ceiling Fans With Lights For Low Ceilings – 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 which it delivers a comforting room breeze. It comes in several diameters, from about 28 to 60-inches, with regards to 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 instruments and possible other areas required for installing them, their self-assemble kits have anything else. In many cases, the fan, that will have its own lighting, will replace a ceiling permanent fixture.
Safety, The electricity have to be off once your there the location where the fan is to be installed. If the fan is replacing a permanent fixture, power down its fuse or circuit breaker in addition to 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 end up in a twisted position while there. Also, wear protective eye-glasses or goggles. Furthermore, if additional auxiliary household wiring is required, 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, as appropriate
Installation steps (reading the fan installation instructions thoroughly). 1. Remove the permanent fixture from the ceiling. With the electricity off, slowly get rid of the shade, bulbs, and fixture screws from the electrical junction box inside ceiling. Let the skeleton fixture hang there. With the light tester, ensure that the wire connections for this fixture are cold (the exam light will continue to be off). Cut the wires, leaving 3-5″ of tail for connecting them to the ceiling fan motor assembly. If the house is old, only two wires might exist, a black one and a white one. Tip: also look at 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 on their behalf. The ceiling fan is heavier compared to permanent fixture. 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 for the box while using two 5/32″ screw-bolts provided. Let the tailing wires hang outside with the bracket. 3. Hang the motor assembly from the bracket. Insert the topside motor-hanger to 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 to the motor and a blue or off-color one to the lights to become attached below it. Overlap the stripped ends of the two wires (motor and lights) together while using stripped end with the black ceiling wire inside box, and twist connect them together while using wire nut provided. Connect the white assembly wire for the white ceiling wire exactly the same way.
Then, to help keep these connections from loosening even though the fan is working, tape the wide lower ends of the nuts with their wires with electrical tape. Also, attach the green fan wire (ground wire from the bracket frame) for the electrical box in the event the box can also be grounded with a third bare or green wire. Otherwise, in the event the electrical box in not grounded, ask an experienced relating to this green wire connection. Some will say to get forced out be, i.e., relax from 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 while using small screws provided. It covers/hides the sides with the motor along with the wiring and ceiling box. 6. Assemble the fan blades (3 to 5) 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 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 help keep them separate from the rest with the kit hardware.
Tip: to help keep the motor from becoming too off-level in this step, install the blades one by one opposite to each other to start with. 7. Install the lighting assembly. Attach the fan’s lighting assembly for the small round central housing unit just underneath 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 isn’t wanted at all. 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 ahead on while using wall switch, even though the fan itself is controlled through 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.
