Ceiling fans--where to mount them
A fan's location is usually in the center of a room, where it will have
the greatest effect. Blade tips must be at least 2 feet from walls or sloped
ceilings. They may be either mounted flush or suspended from a downrod.
They must never be mounted lower than 7 feet from the floor.
Strong support is required for all ceiling fans. Their heavy weight and centrifugal motion strains hangers (they must not be mounted to conventional ceiling light-fixture boxes). Some types mount directly to a ceiling box that has been screwed to the wooden ceiling framing; others utilize hooks, metal crossbars or special hangers.
