Ceiling Fan Brushed Nickel – The flush-style ceiling fan is mounted snugly alongside a set 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 size of the 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 equipment and possible other parts required for installing them, their self-assemble kits include any devices. In many cases, the fan, that can have a unique lighting, will replace a ceiling fitting.
Safety, The electricity must be off to begin where the fan is usually to be installed. If the fan is replacing a fitting, power down its fuse or circuit breaker in addition to flipping its wall switch the signal from the off position. Stand on a sturdy wide-berth step stool or ladder through the installation; 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 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 further screws for securing the junction box, if required
Installation steps (seeing the fan installation instructions thoroughly). 1. Remove the fitting through the ceiling. With the electricity off, slowly take away 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 for this fixture are cold (quality light will always be off). Cut the wires, leaving 3-5″ of tail allowing you to connect these phones the ceiling fan motor assembly. If the property is old, only two wires might exist, a black one plus a white one. Tip: also look at the firmness with the electrical box inside ceiling. If it is not solidly attached to the ceiling, add two extra screws to its top side, which can require drilling two holes inside box for the children. The ceiling fan is heavier compared to fitting. 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 to the box while using 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 into 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 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 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 to the white ceiling wire the same way.
Then, to maintain these connections from loosening as 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 through the bracket frame) to the electrical box when the box can be grounded having a third bare or green wire. Otherwise, when the electrical box in not grounded, ask an expert about it green wire connection. Some will say to let it rest 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 with the mounting bracket while using small screws provided. It covers/hides the sides with the motor as well as 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 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 with the kit hardware.
Tip: to maintain the motor from becoming too off-level in this step, install the blades one-by-one opposite to each other first of all. 7. Install the lighting assembly. Attach the fan’s lighting assembly to the small round central housing unit just under the fan blades using 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 when the lighting assembly just isn’t wanted unconditionally. 8. Test the fan and lights. After turning the electricity back on, flip the wall switch the signal from on. Set the pull-chain switches as desired. Often, the fan lighting is set to come on while using wall switch, as 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.
