CEILING FAN KIT AND ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR WITH MOUNTING METHOD

摘要

A plurality ceiling fan kits comprising one or more pre-wired downrods or a set of pre-wired downrods having internal wiring terminating on one or more ends in wire leads made of electrically conductive materials. Different electrical connectors, for use with the ceiling fan kits and pre-wired downrods, are adapted to electrically couple one or more sets of wiring by pushing in the electrically conductive wire leads into a plurality of ports disposed on the electrical connectors. The electrical connectors may include a jumper for switching between a single- and dual-power supply switch configuration and indicia for identifying the insertion of a wire into a corresponding port. A method of mounting a ceiling fan to a structure having an electrical supply, utilizing the pre-wired downrods and the electrical connectors.

主权项

1. A method for mounting a ceiling fan to a structure having an electrical supply, the method comprising:
selecting a pre-wired downrod from a set of pre-wired downrods of different lengths; electrically coupling a first set of wire leads for the pre-wired downrod to a motor for the ceiling fan; electrically coupling a second set of wire leads for the pre-wired downrod to the electrical supply; and mechanically coupling the selected pre-wired downrod to the structure.
