preparing the fan site
These guidelines are designed to help you select the best location
for your fan and to prepare the site prior to installing the fan. Proper
ceiling fan location and attachment to the building structure are
essential for safety, reliable operation, maximum efficiency, and energy savings.
choosing the fan site
Within the room where you want to install the fan, choose a fan
site where:
• No object can come in contact with the rotating fan blades
during normal operation.
• The fan blades are at least 7 feet above the floor and the
ceiling is at least 8 feet high.
• The fan blades have no obstructions to air flow, such as
walls or posts, within 30 inches of the fan blade tips.
• The fan is directly below a joist or support brace that will
hold the outlet box and the full weight of the fan.
See Figure 4 for the minimum mounting distances.

preparing a new fan site
1. Attach a 2" x 4" support brace between two joists. The support brace must allow the bottom of the outlet box to be recessed a minimum of 1/16" into the ceiling. See Figure 7.
2. Check the support brace to ensure it will support the full weight
of the fan and light kit.
installing the outlet box
1. Obtain a UL-approved octagonal 4" x 1-1/2" outlet box, plus
two #8 x 1-1/2" wood screws and washers, available from any
hardware store or electrical supply house.
2. Orient the outlet box so that both the inner and outer holes in
the box align with the joist or support brace.
3. Drill pilot holes no larger than the minor diameter of the wood
screws (5/64") through the inner holes of the outlet box.
4. Attach the outlet box directly to the support brace or joist
with two #8 x 1-1/2" wood screws and washers. The bottom of
the outlet box must be recessed a minimum of 1/16" into the
ceiling as shown in Figure 7.

To prepare the fan site follow four steps:
• Cutting the Ceiling Hole
• Installing the Support Brace (if necessary)
• Installing the Outlet Box
• Preparing the Wiring
cutting the ceiling hole
1. Locate the site for the hole directly below the joist or support
brace that will hold the outlet box and fan.
2. Cut a 4" diameter hole through the drywall or plaster of the
ceiling as shown in Figure 6. You will use the hole to install the
support brace and outlet box.

1. Make sure the circuit breakers to the fan supply line leads and
associated wall switch location are turned off. If you cannot
lock the circuit breakers in the off position, securely fasten a
prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
2. Thread the fan supply line through the outlet box so that the
fan supply line extends at least 6" beyond the box as shown in
Figure 8.
3. Attach the fan supply line to the outlet box with an approved
connector, available at any hardware store or electrical supply
house. Refer to Figure 8.
4. Make certain the wiring meets all national and local standards
and ANSI/NFPA 70.
