Threaded downrods are connected to the fan assembly with screws while non-threaded rods are secured with cotter pins.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While purchasing threaded rods, you should also pay attention to the type of threading because downrods come in <strong>single-threaded and double-threaded designs<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To ensure that the downrod is the right fit, you need to purchase one with the exact threading pattern as your current rod (if you are looking for a replacement because yours broke or you want a longer rod).&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you do not have a downrod that you can use as a reference while making your purchase, ensure that you go with one that is designed specifically for your fan&rsquo;s model.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bear in mind that downrods do not only create distance between the fan and the ceiling, but they also provide stability and support for the fan.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To do this, they need to become one with fan assembly, and if they aren&rsquo;t properly secured, the fan would be at risk of <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/downrod-ceiling-fans-supposed-wobble\/\">wobbling<\/a>, making annoying noises, or worse, detaching from the rod and falling down.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Diameter<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another factor you need to take into consideration is the diameter of the downrod you are purchasing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The diameter of the rod determines whether it fits snugly to the fan or not. If you get a downrod with a larger diameter, it might not fit into the fan at all, and if you get one with a smaller diameter, the rod will fit loosely to the fan, creating a safety hazard.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">\n    <a data-amazonimages=\"\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Hunter 26019 12-Inch Downrod, Brushed Nickel\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B000BO91M8?tag=hvacbuzz-20\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/21ijFQ4qCXL._SL500_.jpg\" alt=\"Hunter 26019 12-Inch Downrod, Brushed Nickel\" title=\"Hunter 26019 12-Inch Downrod, Brushed Nickel\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large aligncenter lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/21ijFQ4qCXL._SL500_.jpg\" alt=\"Hunter 26019 12-Inch Downrod, Brushed Nickel\" title=\"Hunter 26019 12-Inch Downrod, Brushed Nickel\" data-mvt-skip=\"src\" loading=\"lazy\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/a>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To avoid the hassle of purchasing the wrong rod and then going back to buy one with the right diameter, you need to pay close attention to the diameter of the downrod you are purchasing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you do not have the fan&rsquo;s manual, you can search the manufacturer&rsquo;s website or you can call them for guidance on the right rod diameter for your fan.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>two major downrod diameter sizes available are 1\/2&Prime; and 3\/4<\/strong>&ldquo;. However, a few brands have downrods with a diameter of 1&rdquo;.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Downrods diameters are usually the same for fans from the same brand. For example, the downrod diameter of Emerson fans is 1\/2&Prime; while <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/where-minka-aire-ceiling-fans-made\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"16370\">Minka Aire<\/a> fans have a downrod diameter of 3\/4&Prime;. Fanation fans are an example of a brand that has downrods with a 1&Prime; diameter.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there might be cases where fans from the same brand have different downrod diameters.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, to be entirely safe, it&rsquo;s always best to buy a model-specific downrod, this way you would definitely get one with the same diameter as your fan.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rating<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ceiling fans are given a UL or ETL rating based on the type and quality of materials used in making the fan.

This means that you have to take the height of your ceiling into account while purchasing your downrod.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a general rule, the <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/ceiling-fan-placement-how-high-too-high\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"18056\">higher the ceiling<\/a>, the longer the fan&rsquo;s downrod should be.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For optimal airflow, fan blades should hang at least 10&Prime; from the ceiling.

For the fan to achieve the desired result, all its elements must complement one another.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Manufacturers produce different colors and finishes for a single ceiling fan model. So, it&rsquo;s the downrod might meet all the requirements discussed in previous sections of this article and still not be the right fit for you because it clashes with other parts of the fan.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check that the material and the color\/finish of the rod match that of the motor and blend with other fan components.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some manufacturers might not have downrod replacements in every finish. So, if you do not find a rod that matches the color of your fan choose one with a similar finish.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What About Extension Rods?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Standard ceiling fan downrods have lengths ranging from 3&Prime; to 10&Prime;, thus new ceiling fans typically include 1 to 3 downrods within this range.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A standard rod might not be ideal for the height of your ceiling, and if your ceiling is higher than 10&prime;, it is recommended that you use an extension rod.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Extension rods come in lengths ranging from 12&Prime; to 72&Prime; and are designed to be more versatile than downrods. Maybe not truly universal, but certainly able to fit more than one type of ceiling fan. So, depending on your ceiling size you can find the perfect extension rod for your fan.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a high ceiling, it&rsquo;s essential that you use a longer rod because they bring the fan closer to the room and this improves air circulation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/High-ceiling-living-room-with-two-five-bladed-ceiling-fan-with-long-extension-rods.jpg\" alt=\"High ceiling living room with two five-bladed ceiling fan with long extension rods\" class=\"wp-image-24417\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/High-ceiling-living-room-with-two-five-bladed-ceiling-fan-with-long-extension-rods.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/High-ceiling-living-room-with-two-five-bladed-ceiling-fan-with-long-extension-rods-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/High-ceiling-living-room-with-two-five-bladed-ceiling-fan-with-long-extension-rods-768x560.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/High-ceiling-living-room-with-two-five-bladed-ceiling-fan-with-long-extension-rods-735x536.jpg 735w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/High-ceiling-living-room-with-two-five-bladed-ceiling-fan-with-long-extension-rods-335x244.jpg 335w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/High-ceiling-living-room-with-two-five-bladed-ceiling-fan-with-long-extension-rods-347x253.jpg 347w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/High-ceiling-living-room-with-two-five-bladed-ceiling-fan-with-long-extension-rods-520x379.jpg 520w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/High-ceiling-living-room-with-two-five-bladed-ceiling-fan-with-long-extension-rods-640x467.jpg 640w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/High-ceiling-living-room-with-two-five-bladed-ceiling-fan-with-long-extension-rods-960x700.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw -
