What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly value this 72-inch Downrod for its essential role in high ceiling installations.

Know before you buy
This downrod features a standard 0.85-inch diameter, making it compatible with most Craftmade ceiling fans that require a downrod mount. We recommend checking your specific fan model's manual to confirm it accepts a standard 0.85-inch diameter rod.
Yes. This downrod is UL-rated for damp locations, meaning it is designed to withstand the humidity found in covered porches, patios, and bathrooms.
The downrod includes pre-drilled holes at both ends to facilitate a secure connection to your fan and mounting bracket. Please note that it is designed to work with your existing fan's mounting hardware.
While the steel construction is durable, cutting the downrod is not recommended as it may compromise the structural integrity and the pre-drilled mounting holes. If you need a specific height, it is best to purchase a downrod that matches your required length.
A 72-inch downrod is ideal for rooms with very high or vaulted ceilings. By lowering the fan closer to the living space, you ensure better air circulation and more effective cooling or heating performance.
