This decorative downrod is designed for use with most ceiling fans, providing a stylish and functional solution for installations with varying ceiling heights. Made of 1/2” diameter steel, this downrod is available in lengths ranging from 12” to 72”, allowing flexibility for different ceiling heights. It is NOT suitable for use with the 1080W or 1088 Arctic Fan models. For installations on sloped ceilings, it is recommended to use an extension downrod for optimal performance and appearance. Ensure a minimum of 7 feet of clearance under the ceiling fan blades to maintain proper airflow and safety. The standard 4” downrod works well for most 8-foot ceiling installations. A downrod connector (DC) is also available for extra-high ceilings, allowing multiple downrods to be connected together to extend lengths up to 144”. Please note, this connector should not be used with ER downrods and should not exceed the maximum recommended length of two 72” downrods connected.
