Great video. Thanks guys!

[@reinaconsentida]

Thank you!!!! Helped out a lady in need!!!

[@ashleyg9310]

what about a 52 inch glendale hampton bay ceiling fan?

[@akagecko28]

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?

[@phuturephunk]

+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.

[@stevenhiggins5518]

Thank you for creating this video. It gave me the exact information i was looking for.

[@Dogface1984]

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

[@Lugnutfilms]

Should be ok. Just ground it to the box.

[@marvparschauer3407]

It's a pretty straight forward video, but it could have more close up shots to clearly show each step. The humor is entertaining.

[@jacobcrespo8508]

you are funny and cool I like your video

[@soceur1977]

[@Lugnutfilms]

[@citigirl120]

Thank you!

[@CAceDubz]

I found this video JUST after installing a fan with my dad. Shouldve searched up this video BEFORE we installed the ceiling fan

[@electrsaur9095]

I like that fan

[@richardwkavanagh5711]

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.

[@Lugnutfilms]

+Richard W Kavanagh it depends on the fan. Sometimes it does not work to assemble everything first. It can make things a bit awkward.

[@dmitrik8583]

why is that red wire to black? not black to black and blue to the red?

[@Lugnutfilms]

+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.

[@amberstar1976]

Who turned the breakers on?

[@Lugnutfilms]

+Ann Gramuglia my dad...can you believe it? lol

[@jimbirdsall1026]

Great & to the point !!!

[@terryjrgrassman8587]

at 1:45, its funny when he threw that manual

[@coreymann475]

what is the name of this ceiling fan?

[@Lugnutfilms]

music Man Hampton Bay Winthrop

[@coreymann475]

Lug Nut Films thx

[@electrsaur9095]

Always read the instructions NEVER throw them away

[@davidregan9872]

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!

[@dantelanzetta6029]

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.

[@joerca441]

😂

[@devinbyrd6004]

LOL YOUR SO YOUNG LOOKING

[@Lugnutfilms]

+Dblaze02 Premium lol...thanks

[@paulaiello2071]

Needs to be Less funny, more informative regarding wiring. When do you see red wires in house wiring?

[@Lugnutfilms]

All the time if it’s 3-way wire, which this was.

[@daniellewallace9774]

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

[@Lugnutfilms]

+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!

[@DrummingTmate]

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

[@braaissa7702]

that was corny cause there white

[@Lugnutfilms]

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