Overview and Dimensions
The Windmill Ceiling Fan, designed in a transitional style, measures 52 inches in blade span and stands 16.46 inches tall from ceiling to the bottom of the motor hub using the supplied 6-inch downrod. This fan is engineered for rooms up to 400 square feet and requires a minimum ceiling height of 8 feet for safe installation. It supports vaulted ceilings up to 25° with an 18-inch downrod and offers an optional 45° adapter (model 7-1745-86) for steeper angles. The maximum downrod length available is 48 inches, allowing flexibility in mounting height.
Motor and Performance Specifications
Equipped with a robust and energy-efficient DC motor (model DC-165M), the fan delivers six forward and reverse speeds controlled via the included full-function handheld remote. The motor operates quietly and is backed by a limited lifetime warranty. Electrical consumption is minimal, with amperage ratings ranging from 0.39 to 0.04 depending on speed, ensuring energy savings without compromising airflow.
Blade Configuration and Airflow
The fan features 10 blades with a 30-degree pitch, finished in a Weathered Oak tone that complements the Oiled Bronze housing for a rustic farmhouse or industrial aesthetic. This blade design produces an optimal airflow of 3,472 cubic feet per minute (CFM) at maximum speed while consuming only 33 watts of power, combining efficiency with effective air circulation.
Control and Operation
Operation is facilitated by a handheld remote control that manages six speed settings in both forward and reverse directions. This allows seasonal adjustment to optimize comfort and energy use: counterclockwise blade rotation pushes cool air downward for summer, while clockwise rotation circulates warm air upward during winter months.
Installation and Compatibility
The Windmill fan is stem-hung and UL listed for indoor use. It is available in three finishes—Black, Oiled Bronze, and Galvanized—to suit various interior design schemes. While the fan does not include a light kit, multiple compatible light kit options (models 1902-86 through 1975-86) are available separately to customize lighting needs.
Recommended Applications
This ceiling fan is ideal for medium to large indoor spaces such as bedrooms, family rooms, lofts, gyms, and even garages or warehouses. Its rustic design and efficient airflow make it suitable for farmhouse and industrial-style interiors.
