Fanimation dr1-36bn 36 Inch Brushed Nickel Ceiling Fan Downrod

Product Description

The FANIMATION dr1-36bn is a 36-inch steel ceiling fan downrod finished in brushed nickel. It connects a ceiling fan motor housing to a ceiling mount, lowering the fan to an effective operating height. The non-threaded connection type is designed for compatible Fanimation fan systems. Licensed electricians and experienced HVAC or electrical contractors typically handle ceiling fan installation, particularly on sloped or vaulted ceilings where proper downrod length is critical to airflow performance and blade clearance. The brushed nickel finish suits a wide range of interior environments.

This downrod is rated for indoor use and is suited to residential ceiling fan installations where the ceiling height requires the fan to be dropped below the mounting point. The standard recommendation is to position ceiling fan blades 7 to 9 feet from the floor for optimal air circulation. At 36 inches in length, this downrod is appropriate for rooms with higher ceilings. When multiple downrods are joined to achieve the required drop distance, a separate downrod coupler is required and must be sourced accordingly.

Key Features

• 36-inch drop length positions fan blades at recommended 7 to 9 feet above floor level in high-ceiling rooms
• Non-threaded connection type for compatible Fanimation ceiling fan installations
• Steel construction provides rigid, stable support for ceiling fan motor housing
• Brushed nickel finish in the silver and nickel color family for consistent aesthetic with matching fan hardware
• Rated for indoor use only
• Single unit per package; coupler required if joining multiple downrods

Compatibility

Designed as a non-threaded downrod replacement or extension component for compatible Fanimation indoor ceiling fans. Verify non-threaded connection compatibility with your specific fan model before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC requirements and local building codes. Shut off power at the circuit breaker before beginning any ceiling fan wiring or mounting work. Confirm that the ceiling fan brace or mounting box is rated for fan-rated loads before attaching the downrod assembly. If multiple downrods are used to achieve the required drop, a compatible downrod coupler must be installed between sections.
