Progress AirPro Fan Downrod

This downrod is designed specifically for compatibility with Progress Lighting fans. While it features a standard 0.75-inch diameter, we recommend verifying your specific fan model's manual to ensure it supports this type of extension.

The downrod measures exactly 72 inches in length. While it is made of durable steel, it is not intended to be cut or modified, as doing so may compromise the structural integrity and safety of the fan installation.

The downrod itself is the extension component. You will typically use the mounting hardware, canopy, and pin-and-clip assembly that came with your original ceiling fan to secure this rod.

A 72-inch downrod is generally recommended for cathedral or vaulted ceilings where you need to drop the fan significantly to achieve optimal airflow. A good rule of thumb is to aim for the fan blades to be at least 8 to 9 feet above the floor for the best balance of safety and air circulation.

Yes, the steel construction and Forged Black finish are robust enough for covered outdoor installations, such as a patio or porch, provided the fan itself is also rated for damp or wet locations.
