Ceiling Fans on Angled / Sloped / Vaulted Ceilings

In order to install your ceiling fan on an angled ceiling, you will need to purchase a longer downrod (sold separately). Depending on the angle of the ceiling and your fan type, you may also need an angled ceiling mount adapter.

First, make sure your ceiling fan can be installed on angled ceilings.

Type of Fan	Can my ceiling fan be installed on angled ceiling?	Ceiling angle requirements:	Do I need an Sloped Ceiling Adapter?
Downrod- mount fans (Except Hunter Original)	Yes	34^o	Yes, if ceiling angle greater than 34^o
Hunter Original^TM fans	Yes	Any angle	No
Low Profile (or hugger) fans	No	N/A	N/A

Angled Ceilings that have a 34-56-degree angle will need an angled ceiling mount; this replaces your current canopy. The angled ceiling mounts can only be used if you have an original Hunter’s ceiling fan. You cannot install a remote control in an angled ceiling mount because of the tight spacing in the ceiling bracket. Shop for angled ceiling mounts under Hunter’s accessories.
The SCA-P (Slope Ceiling Adapter, Paintable) gives you that extra spacing between your fan and sloped ceiling to install the remote control receiver. Note: some of Hunter’s ceiling fans have pre-installed receivers. The Hunter Original^TM cannot be installed using an SCA-P.
An extension downrod is needed when installing your ceiling fan on a sloped ceiling. When choosing your downrod length, keep in mind that your ceiling fan needs to be 30 inches away from the wall and other objects and the fan blades must be 7 feet or more from the floor.

*If your angled ceiling is steeper than 56 degrees, contact a contractor to help get your SCA-P custom made. Do not forget to verify your fan’s electrical box is approved for ceiling fan use.
