funny and informative, hope you have other vids for me to both learn and laugh. many thx! to those that didn't like this vid…..remove ceiling fan from your 4th point of contact.
My mounting bracket doesn't seem to have a green wire, just the down rod thing and the bare copper wire . Is this ok? Ill just sit here quietly in the fetal position till someone helps me
I have the same "single" wire coming out of my ceiling, so if I strip the casing, I should find the individual white, black individual wires within it?
+aka gecko If it's standard Romex, yes. It's usually a thick cable that's almost rectangular in cross section. If you see that there should be three wires in that cable that you can split the cable jacket out of and release.
+Dmitri Kazantsev This wire set up services 2 switches. That wire has 4 strands. Red, black, white and copper/ground. The white is neutral. Both the black and red are hot coming from the two switches. Hope that makes sense.
Thank you for a very helpful video. There is something about all fan installation videos and the instruction manuals of Hampton Bay and Hunter fans that totally mystifies me, so perhaps you can explain it to a novice like me. Why would anyone want to attach the fan blades and the light kit while standing on a ladder and reaching over your head at an awkward angle ? My skinny little arms are killing me after attempting this ! LOL. Wouldn't it make more sense to do all the assembly while sitting safely on the floor and not having to reach over your head ? Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I just don't get it.
This was great, except maybe not telling us to connect the white neutrals. My problem is my HB fan has a remote and the wiring diagrams (one in the book and one on the remote) contradict the written wiring steps (which also contradict each other!). I need you to wire one of those for me.
+Danielle Guy If the wires are live you can get electrocuted on any kind of ladder. All you have to do is touch the live and ground wire at the same time like we demonstrated. People have different ways of doing things and if the fan style allows you may be able to put the blades on first before hanging the motor. We chose not to do it that way. Thanks for the input!
Thank you!!!! Helped out a lady in need!!!
Great video. Thanks guys!
what about a 52 inch glendale hampton bay ceiling fan?
It's a pretty straight forward video, but it could have more close up shots to clearly show each step. The humor is entertaining.

We have many more videos. Check out our channel: ua-cam.com/channels/4U9oFZYtDoCHrJxYaJidVg.html
Thank you for creating this video. It gave me the exact information i was looking for.

Should be ok. Just ground it to the box.
I found this video JUST after installing a fan with my dad. Shouldve searched up this video BEFORE we installed the ceiling fan

at 1:45, its funny when he threw that manual
you are funny and cool I like your video
I like that fan
why is that red wire to black? not black to black and blue to the red?

+Richard W Kavanagh it depends on the fan. Sometimes it does not work to assemble everything first. It can make things a bit awkward.
Thank you!
Always read the instructions NEVER throw them away
what is the name of this ceiling fan?
music Man Hampton Bay Winthrop
Lug Nut Films thx
I had a guy turn a conveyor on when I was painting in a mill. He could of killed me because I was working underneath it earlier!
Great & to the point !!!
Who turned the breakers on?
+Ann Gramuglia my dad...can you believe it? lol

Needs to be Less funny, more informative regarding wiring. When do you see red wires in house wiring?
All the time if it’s 3-way wire, which this was.
LOL YOUR SO YOUNG LOOKING
+Dblaze02 Premium lol...thanks
😂
u should never do any electrical work on an aluminum ladder -also it would of been a lot easier to put the fan blades on first

+Lug Nut Films I don't have any electric wiring in my ceiling.

So....if we were not white it would not be corny??? That makes no sense at all.
