Big Ass Fans i6 Install

[@MZ3Pappy]

Nice - thanks for sharing. Just bought my first 72" i6. This video helped tremendously. These fans are beautiful and well built. Thanks again!

[@ZittleFarms]

Thanks for the comment!! I’m glad it helped you out. That’s my ultimate goal

[@wolfcantswim]

Do they output a strong breeze at max speed?

[@MZ3Pappy]

@@wolfcantswim yes fairly decent breeze.

[@gtuttle4]

And very, very expensive!

[@markbachmeier6012]

Are the end caps of the airfoil blades plastic?

[@JPpavlock]

Great choice! I also have an i6 and it’s absolutely amazing!

[@ZittleFarms]

Thanks John!

[@drakess1807]

Thanks for the video. I want to put two of these on my outdoor patio in Texas

[@ZittleFarms]

They are great fans. I highly recommend them!!

Thanks for posting, very helpful.

[@lizziehines9521]

Great video Scott! The fan looks great with that wooden ceiling

[@ddivinia]

What are the remote options? Can you control more more than 1 fan with a remote?

[@ZittleFarms]

Thanks for your question! My understanding is there is no limit on the handheld remote. If you get the Wall Control- it can do up to 4. These fans also have an app and can be controlled by your voice! Hope that helps

[@danielrevely879]

Hows the airflow?

[@ZittleFarms]

Its great even on the low setting. You can blow things away on the highest. I highly recommend this fan!! Its an investment, but worth it

[@rafaelcastro8369]

Looks complicated untill u broke it down thanks!!

[@TechZpert]

Really wish you would let us hear the fan at max speed without the music in the background

[@ZittleFarms]

I’ll work on a video. It is super quiet and an amazing fan. Can’t recommend it enough!!!

[@kimberlygilmore2932]

Great video! Two questions: 1/ Which blade size did you install? 2/ Is there a reverse option on the remote? Thanks!

[@ZittleFarms]

Thank you very much Kimberly!! 1- 84" i6!! and 2- I don't think there is a reverse for the i6. But they recommend to never to fun a fan in reverse - just run it at a slow forward speed during the winter

[@JohnDavis-vm2ev]

I hope big ass fans will sponsor you keep up the great work!

[@ZittleFarms]

Thanks! Me too. The other fans and shop light videos should be up this month... As long as we don't get too much snow on Wednesday!!!

[@ratpinscher]

Where did you order from? Prices I’m seeing are around $2700 for that model.

[@ZittleFarms]

I ordered straight from the company’s website. I bought it 5/1/20 for $2,076

[@ratpinscher]

@@ZittleFarms looks like prices have gone up a bit. Mine is also for outdoor so thats a $250 jump, plus I had to have the 96” for maximum wow. $2600 shipped. Cant wait to get her up!

[@Jman15151515151]

Great Video!

[@ZittleFarms]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks!

The nut and bolt you installed after dropping the Downrod: Does it actually tighten? When I installed mine, the bolt and nut tightened to each other but continue to spin in the actual hole. I did install the bolt on the right and nut on the left. I also noticed they put the down sticker on the wrong side as the downrod wouldn’t go down.

[@ZittleFarms]

Hey Christian! Thanks for your comment. For what I remember, the nut and bolt were tight and did not spin. The side the nut went on had groves in it to hold the nut in place without spinning.

[@Christian87N]

@@ZittleFarms thanks for the reply. I’ll have to double check ours then.

[@zachdaniels8112]

I had to run a larger drill bit through the safety cable bracket to enlarge the hole on the opposite side. The sleeve of the nut is supposed to fit through the larger bore so it will seat in there completely and capture the hex head to prevent it from turning, but how they it was originally, I was going to have to drill 1 thing to make it work. The aluminum safety wire bracket was the easier thing to drill to a slightly larger size (I used the bit that fit through the larger of the 2 holes then drilled from inside out). Hopefully that makes sense. You've probably figured it out by now.

[@jorgerodriguez8349]

Awesome great job 👏

[@ZittleFarms]

Thanks for the comment and watching!

[@michaelcerna4864]

Do you have a distributor here in the Phillipines ?

[@ZittleFarms]

I’m not sure. This was installed in the USA.

[@AlexRodriguez-dp8sn]

yes

[@MatthewsFabrication]

How is the actual CFM air flow? Feel it really well, moves your hair? I just bought a Fanimation Slinger V2 72" 6,830 CFM on the box, but CFM on Lowe's website says 8,200 to 8,800 CFM on their website... Ceiling is 16' high, using stock 6" down rod. I barely feel any air movement just outside of the blades (only on my legs actually) and slightly more if I'm direct below it. I'm definitely wanting to upgrade if the Bigass fan puts out way more air.

[@ZittleFarms]

I have the 84" model and it looks like a CFM of 15,576. The air movement is phenomenal! I love it. www.bigassfans.com/docs/i6/cutsheet-i6.pdf

[@larrycox2563]

Thank you, this was a big help with my installation!!!

[@ZittleFarms]

I’m glad it helped!!

[@rennspeed]

Great video! Does BigAss explain the optimal distance the fan should be from the floor? If so do you trim the downrod or do you order a specific sized downrod? I ask because I have a 10’ ceiling.

[@ZittleFarms]

Thanks!! They do have an optimal distance. When you fill out the information on buying one. The last option is ceiling height!

[@lionsbreath22]

Hi..what are the room's dimensions?

[@ZittleFarms]

Hello! The room is 34’x36’

[@lionsbreath22]

@@ZittleFarms thanks! Does it cool it effectively?

[@ZittleFarms]

Yea it does!! Its awesome

[@travisbowlin9183]

Good video

[@ZittleFarms]

Glad you enjoyed

[@semajjsj]

What is the size of the fan? Thanks!

[@ZittleFarms]

84” - highly recommended. It’s an awesome fan!

[@josemelquiadesdinoy2847]

how to remove the lower cover?

[@lilsusie75]

Seriously...that's what I need help with too.

[@bartpeacock9960]

You should do some review of electrical grounding and bonding. As far as I can tell, you didn't bond your fan-rated box per NEC.

[@r1mmyred79]

These lights take 120v

[@ImHavingaCoronary]

Maybe Big Ass fans will sponsor the next one.... Big Ass Fans: 🤣

[@ZittleFarms]

Thanks H Dug!! I agree
