ceiling fan installation question.

[wongminmin]

u need to lubricate the bearing from time to time....

i find that nowadays ceiling fan not strong wind..... last time 1 use metal... sibei strong even at lowest speed.

kdk still the best but DC doesn't lasts long.

I diy drilled and installed all my ceiling fans, ceiling lights, shelving, wall mounted tv myself.

3 screws are usually fine too. But just to ensure, you should use better and longer metal ribbed expansion tubes, drill deeper into the ceiling and knocked the tubes deeper in.. of course use a longer screw to match.

Imho.. don't have to go for the bigger and heavier ones screws. you just need to do very precise drillings and have a very decent firm grip.

Oh this is the hack groove idea...

Dun even have to hack.... juz do an opening on the baseplate for cable can liao.

True, if the ceiling hole overlaps one of the 4 unused holes for mounting, just slide the wires through or enlarge the hole with a drill

Get a longer and bigger one.. these babies can grip... I don't trust those plastic ones...

Just to confirm... this is the same as my initial solution aka 3 expansion bolts off center. After seeing so many say 2/3 bolts are enough... I think this may be the way to go. My hammer drill is arriving today... time to get it over and done with.

Look at the pic again, while hatch one is the light hole, green small circle are screw holes

 

[Nuvole]

WHITE HATCH = Conduit AKA light HOLE

GREEN Circle = Fan Base Plate

Small GREEN circle = SCREW HOLE

Sometimes the installer also anyhow do one, after all they are not paid much...

My ID got cover installation unless product company insist only they can install if not warranty void.

Got 1 fan coy i encounter they say they must install themselves if not warranty is void. Most amazing is they will charge a transport
I stop working with them
