Clarkston 44 In Indoor Brushed Nickel Ceiling Fan With Light Kit in dimensions 1000 X 1000Clarkston Ceiling Fan – The flush-style ceiling fan is mounted snugly close to a designated horizontal fairly low ceiling where it’s dealt with, and where it delivers a comforting room breeze. It comes in several diameters, from about 28 to 60-inches, according to the room size being fitted, and will cost typically from $30 to $300. It generally has three fan motor speeds, which are reversible. Except for the equipment and possible the rest essential for installing them, their self-assemble kits come with everything else. In many cases, the fan, that can have its own lighting, will replace a ceiling fitting.
Safety, The electricity must be off once your there the place that the fan is usually to be installed. If the fan is replacing a fitting, de-activate its fuse or circuit breaker as well as flipping its wall switch to the off position. Stand on a sturdy wide-berth step stool or ladder throughout the installation; do not lean or enter 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 necessary
Installation steps (after reading the fan installation instructions thoroughly). 1. Remove the fitting through the ceiling. With the electricity off, slowly eliminate the shade, bulbs, and fixture screws through the electrical junction box inside the ceiling. Let the skeleton fixture hang there. With the light tester, make sure the wire connections to the fixture are cold (the test light will continue to be off). Cut the wires, leaving 3-5″ of tail to get in touch these 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 inside the ceiling. If it’s not solidly attached to the ceiling, add two extra screws to its top side, which could require drilling two holes inside the box for them. 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 the junction box cleanly, install the mounting bracket on 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 into the centralized holder with 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 your motor plus a blue or off-color one for your lights to become attached below it. Overlap the stripped ends of the 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 on the white ceiling wire much the same way.
Then, to hold these connections from loosening as the fan is working, tape the wide lower ends of the nuts to their wires with electrical tape. Also, attach the green fan wire (ground wire through the bracket frame) on the electrical box if your box can be grounded with a third bare or green wire. Otherwise, if your electrical box in not grounded, ask a specialist about this green wire connection. Some will say to get forced out be, i.e., relax by it. Others could suggest further wiring? 5. Install the flush-mount motor shroud. Install the motor shroud on 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 to their end brackets with the screws and washers provided. Then mount the blades on the bottom side of fan motor with the bolts, lock washers, and dampening gaskets provided. Note: these latter pieces sometimes are partially pre-installed on the motor to hold them separate through the rest with the kit hardware.
Tip: to hold the motor from becoming too off-level within this step, install the blades individually opposite to each other to begin with. 7. Install the lighting assembly. Attach the fan’s lighting assembly on 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 the order instructed. Note: a housing cap is provided if your lighting assembly just isn’t wanted at all. 8. Test the fan and lights. After turning the electricity back on, flip the wall switch to 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 from the pull-chain switch only, initially set inside the off position. Note: The ceiling fan has a reversible motor switch which allows the draft either to go upward or downward as preferred. For more information on ceiling fan installation, see the following sites.
