摘要

A ceiling fan hanging system (10) in disclosed which includes a motor (12), a downrod coupler (13), a hollow downrod (15), and a canopy assembly (16). The downrod includes an elongated shaft (22) defined by a cylindrical sidewall (23) having window or access port (24) therein. An access panel (27) is removably mounted to the downrod shaft. The fan electrical wires or leads (34) extend from the motor upwardly through the downrod coupler and into the bottom end of the downrod. The electrical wire leads are spliced to the bottom end of a length of extension electrical wires (36) at the location of the window. The extension electrical wires extend upwardly through the interior of the downrod (15) and are coupled to the structure or building electrical wires at the canopy assembly.
