Progress Lighting Trevina Collection 52 In Indoor Brushed Nickel throughout sizing 1000 X 1000Modern Ceiling Fan – The flush-style ceiling fan is mounted snugly next to a flat 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, 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, which are reversible. Except for the various tools and possible other regions essential for installing them, their self-assemble kits have everything else. In many cases, the fan, which will have its lighting, will replace a ceiling light fixture.
Safety, The electricity should be off to begin in which the fan is usually to be installed. If the fan is replacing a light fixture, shut down its fuse or circuit breaker together with flipping its wall change to the off position. Stand on a sturdy wide-berth step stool or ladder throughout the installation; usually do not 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, if needed
Installation steps (looking at the fan installation instructions thoroughly). 1. Remove the light fixture in the ceiling. With the electricity off, slowly take away the shade, bulbs, and fixture screws in the electrical junction box inside the ceiling. Let the skeleton fixture hang there. With the light tester, ensure that the wire connections for this fixture are cold (the test light will continue to be off). Cut the wires, leaving 3-5″ of tail in order to connect these phones the ceiling fan motor assembly. If the residence is old, only two wires might exist, a black one plus a white one. Tip: also check the firmness in the electrical box inside the ceiling. If it really is not solidly connected 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 as opposed to light fixture. It also wobbles slightly during operation. 2. Install the mounting bracket. After stripping the ends in the tailing wires inside the junction box cleanly, install the mounting bracket to the box using the 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 to the centralized holder in 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 the motor plus a blue or off-color one for the lights to get attached below it. Overlap the stripped ends of the two wires (motor and lights) together using the stripped end in the black ceiling wire inside the box, and twist connect them together using the wire nut provided. Connect the white assembly wire to the white ceiling wire much the same way.
Then, to hold these connections from loosening whilst the fan is working, tape the wide lower ends of the nuts for their wires with electrical tape. Also, attach the green fan wire (ground wire in the bracket frame) to the electrical box if the box can be grounded with a third bare or green wire. Otherwise, if 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 using 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 using the small screws provided. It covers/hides the perimeters in the motor and the wiring and ceiling box. 6. Assemble the fan blades (3 to 5) and mount them. After choosing the top or bottom reversible blade color scheme preferred, attach the blades for their end brackets using the screws and washers provided. Then mount the blades to the bottom side of fan motor using the bolts, lock washers, and dampening gaskets provided. Note: these latter pieces sometimes are partially pre-installed to the motor to hold them separate in the rest in the kit hardware.
Tip: to hold the motor from becoming too off-level within this step, install the blades individually opposite to one another in the first place. 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 the order instructed. Note: a housing cap is provided if the lighting assembly just isn’t wanted without any reason. 8. Test the fan and lights. After turning the electricity back on, flip the wall change to on. Set the pull-chain switches as desired. Often, the fan lighting is set in the future on using the wall switch, whilst the fan itself is controlled with the pull-chain switch only, initially set inside the off position. Note: The ceiling fan has a reversible motor switch that enables the draft either to go upward or downward as preferred.
