Preparing the Fan Site Step 1 - Choose the Fan Site Proper ceiling fan location and attachment to the building structure are essential for safety, reliable operation, maximum efficiency, and energy savings. Choose a fan site where: • No object can come in contact with the rotating fan blades during normal operation. • The fan blades are at least 7 feet above the floor and the ceiling is at least 8 feet high.
Preparing the Fan Site (continued) Step 2 - Cut the Ceiling Hole 2-1. Locate the site for the ceiling hole directly below the joist or support brace that will hold the outlet box and fan. 2-2. Cut a 4” diameter hole through the drywall or plaster of the ceiling. You will use the hole to install the support brace and outlet box. Step 3 - Install a Support Brace, If Necessary Determine if there is a ceiling joist directly above the ceiling hole.
