Seagull Lighting DR48BK 48 Inch Fan Downrod Matte Black

Product Description

The SEAGULL LIGHTING DR48BK is a 48-inch ceiling fan downrod finished in matte black. A downrod suspends a ceiling fan motor below the mounting canopy, increasing the drop distance between the ceiling and the fan blades. This extension is critical in rooms with high or vaulted ceilings where standard flush or close-mount configurations would leave the fan too high to move air efficiently at occupied levels. The DR48BK is a straightforward, single-tube downrod suited for residential and light commercial fan installations where additional drop is required.

This downrod is intended for use in ceiling fan installations where the mounting surface is elevated and a longer extension is needed to position the fan at an effective operating height. Typical applications include great rooms, entryways, stairwells, and any space with ceiling heights that exceed standard 8-foot construction. An electrician or qualified installer handles the fitting as part of a complete fan installation or a retrofit to an existing ceiling fan assembly.

Key Features

• 48-inch drop length positions fan blades at effective operating height in tall-ceiling spaces
• Matte black finish provides a low-sheen, neutral appearance compatible with dark fixture hardware
• Straight tube construction for standard downrod-mount ceiling fan assemblies
• Universal downrod design suited to a wide range of ceiling fan mounting systems

Compatibility

Designed as a universal-style downrod for standard residential ceiling fan assemblies requiring a 48-inch extension. Verify thread size, tube diameter, and canopy compatibility with your specific fan model before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC guidelines and local codes. Shut off power at the circuit breaker before disconnecting or reassembling any ceiling fan wiring or mounting hardware. Confirm that the ceiling fan brace, junction box, and canopy are rated for the combined weight of the fan and downrod assembly. Do not exceed the fan manufacturer's maximum recommended downrod length for the specific motor model in use.
