I am not sure what do you mean, and I will try to answer using the current measures of the one I have installed in the flat ceiling of the kitchen.This fan has a conic shaped Motor Assembly with the wide part facing downward were the glass shade is.from the ceiling to the glass shade there are 17 3/4 inches; from the ceiling to the narrow part of the Motor Assembly there are 6 1/4 inches.Please let me know if this answer you question or if you need any other measurement

I have 9' ceiling and the downrod is 6" I addition to the control box makes it almost 9" from the ceiling. I believe the minimum is 6".

I don't want to confuse you but this fan comes in two distinct models. This model is designed for tall ceilings which is why it comes with two sizes of down rods. But there is another model (more sturdy and solid) which is for regular-sized ceilings. This model (as you know) is the: Minka-Aire F517. The other model is the "hugger" type with a wide base: Minka-Aire F519. Both models come in different colors and two blade widths of 44" and 52". Hope this helps! ;-)

I have mine mounted 3-4 feet down from the ceiling-but that's in a room with cathedral ceilings.

From the ceiling to the top of the fan body is 6 &3/4 inches. Hope that answeres your question.

the mounting supplied is a hook that hangs it in a doorway. That being said I mounted mine in a 6 inch vent space beside my fireplace by simply using the bolts that hold the cover on fan through a bracket. The hardest part I could see with what you want to do is getting the electric run to it.

Fan itself is 10" . The holes are on 12 1/2" circumference. Or the holes for mounting are 1 1/4" out.

The blades on tho fan are heavy and sharp. It will not flush mount, and it should only be installed well out of anyone's reach. I bought five, and they are nice fans, but all are mounted 15' off floor level. I would not recommend that they be installed on an 8' ceiling regardless of mounting method.

This fan can be mounted to the ceiling. Mine is mounted to the ceiling of my covered patio. Make sure you hit a rafter because the fan is pretty heavy. We love it. It puts out a lot of although it is loud on high but we can handle it.

Hello! The fan can be mounted up to a 29 degree slope. Anything larger than that, and you will need http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001CADSVA If there is anything else we can help with, please let us know! Lighting and Locks 1-800-334-5804

Flush mount, blades are only 5.5" from ceiling. However, you can install using a rod to clear obstructions. But I will add that installing this fan is painstaking difficult and cumbersome. I have installed quite a few fans and in general I consider fan installation a relatively easy DIY project.

Mine is 5.5 inches from the ceiling. Pretty snug fit. Don't think you'd want to be much closer. This is quite a hunk of metal as well. Very sturdy and adjust in all kinds of directions. Very well organized assortment of spacers and screws. I am very happy with mine.

I don't think this is possible. I have the smallest down rod and the top of the fan hangs 5 1/2 inches from the ceiling. It is a beautiful fan but I would not try to flush mount it. I often try to make things work and I could see getting a rod that is an inch or so shorter but that is as far as I would go.

1. The specs probably give exact measures. Mine is about 14 to 15 inches from light to ceiling.2. Not sure if there is an optional shorter extension. 3. It fairly quiet and air flow is fine. It is a higher quality fan.

Hi Ed, Thanks for the question. This fan requires a minimum ceiling height of at least 92.5" in order to meet building codes, so you should be fine because 8.5 feet measures 102". Also, this fan cannot be flush mounted, but again, you should be just fine with your ceiling height. We hope this helps!

No, the fan would be at an angle and would not operate properly. This fan does not have a rod that extends down. It mounts flush to the ceiling.

I'm no expert, but a fan can be fitted to any ceiling unless it is too low. Down rods come in many lengths. If you are going to DIY then ask your local hardware supply store what you need. My ceiling is vaulted and I have 2 fans mounted with single rods. I don't know if they are at 8' or not. They seem to work fine.

I've 8 Ft ceilings as well. The fan hangs down 12" from ceiling giving you 7'. My fan hangs over the kitchen table and I've plenty of room under the fan. I think you would be fine using this fan.

By checking the directions, I think you must use a downrod, but they include a shorter downroad for fans installed close to the ceiling. Absolutely flush does not look like an option.

From floor to bottom of light fixture is 6 ft. 11 in. Do not know about the min. distance of the pole from ceiling to top of fan. I had someone install them and was not aware their was a choice. If it helps, I have 8 ft. ceilings, with 6'11" clearance under the fans. Love the fans, but the electrician said they were a dog to assemble.
