The ceiling material should not have to come into play in terms of stopping fan wobble, right? As long as its hung securely, the fan is not dangerous even with the small barely noticable gap What I mean is, fans are not supposed to wobble by design, right. I think it would still swing anyway as it has a small rod between the fan housing and teh ceiling flange, and this rog is allowed to swing independant of the ceiling portion. I watched and I can see that the gap at the ceiling teh fan is moving, but IMO If the thing was tight to the ceiling and that stopped the woppling wouldn’t that really be just a superficial solution to an underlying problem. So now the fan is installed and it wobbles, more like swings from side to side. It is in no danger of falling down, as the mounting system is rated fro the weight, and i can live with the gap because the ceilings are 9′-3″ and it’s not very noticable unless you know it’s there (must have been my miscalculation, I put the face of the box flush with the ceiling but in retrospect it probably should have been recessed)
when I hung the fan, to my dismay, there was like a 1/4″ gap between the ceiling and the part of the fan that covers the wires and goes up against the ceiling (proper terminology escapes me) The fan I put up was a pretty basic 52″ hunter fan w a light kit. I wired everything and then closed the ceiling. This may be a standard mounting practice but I’m not sure.
HUNTER PERFECT BALANCE INSTALL
This fan has a hanging system where you install a brass colored piece to the fan ceiling box with 2 bolts and then the fan hangs from one side of the brass piece while you connect the wires then it swings up over the brass piece and you install 2 set screws into the sides. I tore out an old drop ceiling, or I should say I took down a whole bunch of those stapled on 12″ x 12″ tiles that were stapled onto a dropped ceiling structure.Īs part of that existing structure there was a 2×4 that went pretty much across the center of the room so I mounted a westinghouse ceiling fan box that was rated for the weight to the side of that stud. Last night I installed a ceiling fan in a room I have been refinishing, and when I fired it up, the thing was swinging, so I shut it off and called it a night.
