Maxim frd24bk Ceiling Fan Down Rod 24 Inches

Product Description

The MAXIM frd24bk is a 24-inch ceiling fan down rod designed to extend the mounting distance between a ceiling fan motor and its canopy. Finished in black, this rod allows installers to position a fan at the correct height for proper air circulation in rooms with higher ceilings. At 7/8 inch in diameter and weighing 0.48 pounds, it is a lightweight, straightforward component used by electricians and HVAC technicians when setting ceiling fan drop height during installation or replacement service.

This down rod is suited for residential and light commercial ceiling fan installations where additional drop is needed to achieve recommended blade height above the floor. It is commonly used during new fan installations or when replacing an existing down rod that is the wrong length for the space. The 24-inch length makes it appropriate for rooms with ceilings in the 9- to 11-foot range depending on the fan model and canopy height.

Key Features

• 24-inch length provides extended drop for higher ceiling applications
• 7/8-inch diameter rod fits standard ceiling fan canopy and motor housings
• Black finish integrates with fans finished in black or dark tones
• Lightweight at 0.48 pounds for easy single-person handling during installation
• Straightforward drop-in replacement for worn or incorrect-length down rods

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or upgrade down rod for ceiling fans accepting a 7/8-inch diameter down rod. Confirm canopy collar diameter and pin or set-screw configuration on the target fan before installation.

Installation Notes

Down rod installation is typically performed by a licensed electrician. Always shut off power at the circuit breaker before disassembling any ceiling fan wiring or canopy hardware. Route the fan wiring through the down rod before connecting to the motor and canopy. Verify that the ceiling mounting bracket and outlet box are rated for fan support per NEC requirements.
