Know before you buy
No, this downrod is specifically engineered for use with Hunter ceiling fans. Using it with other brands may result in an insecure connection or compatibility issues.
For optimal air circulation, the blades of your ceiling fan should be at least 7 to 9 feet above the floor. Measure your ceiling height and subtract the height of the fan motor and blade assembly to determine if a 36-inch rod will place the fan at the correct elevation.
The downrod itself is a structural component and does not include internal wiring. You will need to use the wire leads that came with your original Hunter ceiling fan to complete the electrical connection.
Hunter's New Bronze finish is a consistent, standard color across their product line. While it is designed to match current models, it should blend well with most existing Hunter fixtures featuring a dark, oil-rubbed bronze aesthetic.
It is not recommended to cut or modify the downrod. Altering the rod can compromise the structural integrity of the fan and void the manufacturer's warranty.
