Vaulted Ceiling Fan Mount – The flush-style ceiling fan is mounted snugly next to an appartment horizontal fairly low ceiling where it really is out of the way, and where 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, and can cost typically from $30 to $300. It generally has three fan motor speeds, which are reversible. Except for the equipment and possible other parts necessary for installing them, their self-assemble kits come with everything else. In many cases, the fan, which will have its lighting, will replace a ceiling permanent fixture.

Safety, The electricity have to be off at the site the location where the fan is to be installed. If the fan is replacing a permanent fixture, de-activate its fuse or circuit breaker together with flipping its wall switch the signal from the off position. Stand on a sturdy wide-berth step stool or ladder through the installation; don’t lean or enter 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 further screws for securing the junction box, as appropriate

Installation steps (looking at 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 inside ceiling. Let the skeleton fixture hang there. With the light tester, make sure the wire connections to the fixture are cold (test light will stay off). Cut the wires, leaving 3-5″ of tail in order to connect these phones 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 really is not solidly connected to the ceiling, add two extra screws to its top side, which might 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 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 should certainly 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 be 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 exactly the same way.


Then, to maintain these connections from loosening even though the fan is working, tape the wide lower ends of the nuts on their wires with electrical tape. Also, attach the green fan wire (ground wire from your bracket frame) to the electrical box in the event the box can be grounded using a third bare or green wire. Otherwise, in the event the electrical box in not grounded, ask an expert about this green wire connection. Some will say to let it rest be, i.e., do nothing by 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 perimeters with the motor as well as the wiring and ceiling box. 6. Assemble the fan blades (3 to 4) and mount them. After deciding on the top or bottom reversible blade color scheme preferred, attach the blades on 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 from your rest with the kit hardware.

Tip: to maintain the motor from becoming too off-level within this step, install the blades one-by-one opposite together in the first place. 7. Install the lighting assembly. Attach the fan’s lighting assembly to the small round central housing unit just below 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 in the event the lighting assembly is just not 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, even though the fan itself is controlled with the pull-chain switch only, initially set inside off position. Note: The ceiling fan carries a reversible motor switch that allows the draft either to go upward or downward as preferred.
