How To Install A Hunter Ceiling Fan Without The Light Kit

Installing a ceiling fan without the light kit is a relatively simple process that can be completed in a few hours. By following these steps, you can ensure that your fan is installed safely and correctly.

Tools and Materials

Before you begin, you will need to gather the following tools and materials:

Screwdriver
Drill
Wire cutters
Electrical tape
Ceiling fan
Ceiling fan mounting bracket
Screws
Washers
Ceiling hook or outlet box

Step 1: Prepare the Electrical Wires

If you are installing the fan in an existing ceiling outlet box, you will need to prepare the electrical wires. First, turn off the power to the outlet box at the circuit breaker panel. Next, use a wire cutter to remove about 6 inches of insulation from the ends of the black, white, and ground wires. Twist the exposed wires together and wrap them with electrical tape.

Step 2: Install the Ceiling Fan Mounting Bracket

The ceiling fan mounting bracket should be attached to the ceiling outlet box or ceiling hook. If you are installing the fan in an outlet box, use the screws that came with the fan to secure the bracket to the box. If you are installing the fan on a ceiling hook, you will need to purchase a mounting bracket that is compatible with the hook. Once the bracket is in place, use a screwdriver to tighten the screws.

Step 3: Hang the Ceiling Fan

Carefully lift the ceiling fan up to the mounting bracket. Align the holes in the fan with the holes in the bracket and insert the screws. Tighten the screws until the fan is securely in place.

Step 4: Connect the Electrical Wires

Connect the black wire from the fan to the black wire from the outlet box or ceiling hook. Connect the white wire from the fan to the white wire from the outlet box or ceiling hook. Connect the ground wire from the fan to the ground wire from the outlet box or ceiling hook. Wrap each connection with electrical tape.

Step 5: Install the Fan Blades

The fan blades should be attached to the motor housing of the fan. Use the screws that came with the fan to secure the blades to the housing. Tighten the screws until the blades are securely in place.
