Ceiling Fan Hanger is an indoor ceiling mounted fan mechanism used to suspend a ceiling fan in the air. This fan mechanism consists of a series of gear boxes and a flexible ceiling fan with a control switch that allows the owner to adjust the speed and direction of the fan blades. The ceiling fan hanger is usually placed on the wall adjacent to the fan and this is where it is hung. The most commonly used styles of ceiling fan hangers are the combination of suspended apparatus and fixed mount brackets.
The electrical box for ceiling fans is usually mounted on the wall adjacent to the one that contains the fan. It is often hard for people to access this box due to its placement. Most ceiling fans have wiring that runs along the ceiling but it may include one or more outlets that can be used to plug the wiring into. When these outlets are not included with the fixture, it is necessary to make sure that you have these outlets pre-wired. You can determine which outlet or units to use by referring to the instructions in your owner’s manual or by consulting the electrician that sold you the ceiling fans.
When installing the fan, the ceiling fan hanger and canopy must be installed securely so there are no accidents. This can be done by drilling into the ceiling and installing pilot light holes in the mounting bracket. These holes allow the wires to pass through them and provide enough room for the wires to lie flat against the mounting bracket. It is important to drill these holes carefully to avoid damaging the wires. When installing the canopy, the holes should be deeper than the screws. This allows the wires to lie flat against the canopy.
