Hello,

Do you know where, on the Internet i can get good pictures and
instructions for hanging an old "Classic" Hunter fan? I purchased
the 4 fans about 16 years ago, removed them from sold house and
want to install them in newly purchased house.

Where can i get a good discriptive picture of a "hanger support
unit" for ceilings, and where can they be purchased?

Do you know how much these fans weight?

As a guess, the smaller motor units (about 8" diameter) about 20#; the
larger units maybe double that.

I doubt if i have all the parts for hanging, so i need to know what
is the parts list.

What you need to hang them is...

1. The down rod...one end screws into fan motor top, other end
terminates in a bracket which has a rubber "roller" on a steel pin
across the bracket ends.

2. A lag hook. The bracket end of the down rod hangs from it so
diameter of lag hook should be appropriate to the rubber "roller"
(which serves to dampen vibration). A 5/16 or 3/8 lag should be fine.
Length sufficient to screw firmly into ceiling (see below) and extend
sufficiently to hook on down rod.

3. A bell canopy. This fits over the down rod and once the fan is
hung it is slid up almost to the ceiling and secured in place against
the down rod with small, integral set screws. Its only purpose is to
hide the mounting hardware and wires. Some are one piece, others are
two piece (two vertical halves).

If you are mounting to a concrete ceiling, just drill a hole, insert a
lag shield, screw in the lag screw and hang the fan.

In a standard ceiling, you'll need to either drill into a joist for
the lag or span them with wood if one isn't where you want the fan.
With a truss ceiling, span securely across two trusses with wood for
the lag. Electrical supply houses have kits for fan supports and
wiring, I suspect home improvement stores do too but you'd have to
make sure they are for the older, heavier fans.

Needless to say, you'll need electrical wiring where the fans are to
be. The electrician you hire for that should also be to also properly
hang your fans.

No problem, I just browsed it.
