Choosing the Right Installation Location

make sure it is a good fit
Checking the Ceiling Angle
Standard Mounting
If you have a flat ceiling
Hang your fan by a standard downrod. Some fans come with a shorter downrod for
a Low Profile installation.
If you have an angled or vaulted ceiling:
- You will need a longer downrod. (sold separately at HunterFan.com)
- If your ceiling angle is greater than 34°, you will also need an Angled Mounting Kit. (Sold separately at HunterFan.com)
Angled Mounting
A little more information on Angled Mounting:
- For optimum performance and appearance, a longer downrod should be used with your Hunter ceiling fan when installed on a high or angled ceiling. If your ceiling is angled greater than 34° you will also need an
- Angled Mounting Kit. Longer downrods and the Angled Mounting Kit are sold separately at HunterFan.com.
