Ceiling Fan Installation and Electrical Wiring Methods for the Home

	Continuing with this installation I have stapled the romex close to the area where the new ceiling fan box will be mounted to the ceiling. Now I am ready to install the ceiling fan box. This box comes with a plastic bushing which protects the wire along with the heavy duty mounting screws. It is a good idea to drill a pilot hole first before installing the screws to avoid the wood from splitting. See more about: Romex and Wire Connectors Electrical Boxes

	With the box mounted in place I am ready for the ceiling fan cradle bracket. After stripping the romex and cutting away the outside sheath cover, I feed the wires through the center opening of the bracket. When using a remote control module the wires can be brought down on the side of the bracket to allow space for the module to slide into place above the ceiling fan stem.

Installing the ceiling fan motor assembly requires paying attention to what needs to be placed on the stem of the assembly and in what order. For example the canopy which covers the ceiling fan box and cradle bracket needs to slide over the stem before this assembly goes in place,.Otherwise once you discover this vital piece is missing everything needs to be undone and the assembly taken down and the canopy put in place.	Also be aware that some ceiling fans come with a plastic ring which slides up around the canopy to fit tight against the ceiling to hide the canopy mounting screws. Another part that is easy to miss on some ceiling fans is a small cap that covers the top of the motor where the stem attaches. This is usually included with fans that have a longer stem.

As a retired / disabled licensed master electrician, I find Dave's site to be a great reference tool, not only to the homeowner, but also to seasoned electricians needing a refresher. Dave's site is well thought out, easy to navigate, and has great, easy to read diagrams. Great job Dave!
