Sloped ceiling fan adapter

[mkgrady]

A customer bought a ceiling fan for his family room. The fan box is on a slope that I estimate is about 50-55 degrees. The fan is a Harbor Breeze. The problem is that the adapter sold by that manufacturer has a slope limit of 45 degrees.

Does anybody make an adapter that will fit any manufacturers brand? Everything I found was specific to the manufacturers brand only.

45 degrees seems to be the limit for all of the manufacturers.

Can I assume that would work with any brand. I'm thinking yes but not sure. You would think they would say one way or the other.

I notice it says for kitchler fans. I assume that means only kitchler

Maybe but most fans hang the same so I am thinking it will work on other fans. You may need to see if your fan uses 1/2" or 3/4" threads.

That adapter that Justme linked to is for light fixtures not fans. I don't see how it would work with a fan.

The new fan has 3/4 threads not sure what the Adapter threads are

Mfg webpage says 1" O.D. downrods.

The specs say for 1" downrods only.

Is it safe to assume a 1" od rod has 3/4" trade size threads?

I'm not certain there is any standard for downrod threads... and I don't work with ceiling fans in high enough numbers and frequency to even give you an experienced guess.

FWIW I adapted a downrod on my own ceiling fan and a 3/4" coupling is what fit the downrod that came with the fan.

If you get really desperate you can decorate one of these to match!

I have not seen a fan with 1" downrod so I wonder if they are giving the o.d. measurement. I looked at Kichlers site and those fans have 3/4" rods I am pretty sure of that- I would make a phone call first if I were you

From what I saw the Garvin product only works for 20 degrees from vertical.

Yes, the manufacturer's web page states "1 inch O.D. downrod".
