Ceiling Fan Lamp Shades – The flush-style ceiling fan is mounted snugly next to a set horizontal fairly low ceiling where it’s out of the way, and where it delivers a comforting room breeze. It comes in several diameters, from about 28 to 60-inches, with regards to the size of the room being fitted, and can cost typically from $30 to $300. It generally has three fan motor speeds, which can be reversible. Except for the tools and possible other regions needed for installing them, their self-assemble kits have anything else. In many cases, the fan, that may have a unique lighting, will replace a ceiling permanent fixture.
Safety, The electricity must be off once your there in which the fan shall be installed. If the fan is replacing a permanent fixture, turn off 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 in the installation; don’t lean or get into a twisted position while there. Also, wear protective eye glasses or goggles. Furthermore, if additional auxiliary household wiring should be used, 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 required
Installation steps (seeing the fan installation instructions thoroughly). 1. Remove the permanent fixture from your ceiling. With the electricity off, slowly eliminate the shade, bulbs, and fixture screws from your electrical junction box in the ceiling. Let the skeleton fixture hang there. With the light tester, ensure the wire connections for this fixture are cold (the test light will remain off). Cut the wires, leaving 3-5″ of tail to get in touch them to the ceiling fan motor assembly. If the house is old, only two wires might exist, a black one plus a white one. Tip: also look at the firmness with the electrical box in the ceiling. If it’s not solidly connected to the ceiling, add two extra screws to its top side, which can require drilling two holes in the box on their behalf. The ceiling fan is heavier compared to the permanent fixture. It also wobbles slightly during operation. 2. Install the mounting bracket. After stripping the ends with the tailing wires in the 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 from your 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 really should swivel slightly. 4. Connect the wiring. Generally, the motor assembly has two so-called hot wires, a black one to the motor plus a blue or off-color one to the lights to get attached below it. Overlap the stripped ends of those two wires (motor and lights) together while using stripped end with the black ceiling wire in the box, and twist connect them together while using wire nut provided. Connect the white assembly wire to the white ceiling wire exactly the same way.
Then, to keep 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 from your 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 experienced relating to this green wire connection. Some will say to let it sit be, i.e., do nothing from 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 edges with the motor along with 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 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 keep them separate from your rest with the kit hardware.
Tip: to keep the motor from becoming too off-level during this step, install the blades individually opposite to one another 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 in the order instructed. Note: a housing cap is provided when the lighting assembly 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 by the pull-chain switch only, initially set in the off position. Note: The ceiling fan carries a reversible motor switch that permits the draft either to go upward or downward as preferred. For more information on ceiling fan installation, see the following sites.
