Good fan/crappy instructions I ordered a pair of hunters bronze 22282 fans to replace some indoor fans that were in terrible shape on my outdoor porch.CONS:-Instructions are crap. They say to drill to 1/4 holes in your stud/joist for the lag bolts. I looked at the lag bolt and 1/4 looked wayyyyy to big. So, I pre-drilled on some scrap and sure enough the lag bolts threads slipped easily between the perimeter of the drill hole. I went down to a 3/16 bit and that worked wonderfully. I would have been extremely upset had I drilled with 1/4 and had to replace the stud by pulling out some of my redwood ceiling I just put in (tongue and groove clear heart at 7.00 a foot + stain time).-The electrical screw connectors are very small. Your not getting two 14 gauge wires in one of them. They are not a standard size for their color.-the lag bolts are painted with a hot-dip color. Sad. Also, the hex head on the lag is not SAE or metric, it is somewhere between a 5-6 mm, but not SAE. Used a crescent on it-major PITA.OK, enough whining.PROs:-heavy, steady, smooth, fan. You need a stud in the ceiling and a metal box. The cast iron exterior weighs about 45 lbs.-it takes oil and has real bearings, meaning it will not fall apart because of some plastic cracking in our 110 summer and 5 degree winter. DO NOT FORGET THE OIL.-It does not look like a cheap home depot fan.-real teak blades, the endgrain matches the grain on the blade. VERY NICE.-no grommitsThere are better fans than this out there, but not at this price, paid about 430 a pop. Packaging was in great shape. My 3″ downrod was bronze not black.
Make sure you get Correct Double Threaded Downrod for 22282 Hunter Outdoor Fan We ordered the Hunter 22282 52-Inch Outdoor fan about 3 weeks ago. We ordered the 26042 18″ new bronze downrod that Amazon recommends with this fan. The picture on that downrod is double-threaded, so we ordered it. We were sent a single threaded downrod, so we returned it and explained we needed dual threads (the only way you can install it). We were sent a single threaded replacement. I got online with Amazon support, and he told me he would make sure the next one I received was dual threaded. Three days later, the third single thread downrod came in the mail. This happened one more time, and finally we went directly to the ceiling fan supplier, and they also sent us the wrong one. The Downrod you need for the 22282 fan is Part Number 25999 – 18″ All-Weather Double-Threaded Downrod – For Hunter Original Fans only. Amazon’s site has it, but there is no picture. This is the correct downrod. Very frustrating, but now that we have it up, it’s a great fan.
The Only Hunter you should buy The best fan ever made! I have two of them and they move more air, are very quiet and with proper care (easy) last longer than I live.Warning! Just because Hunter hit a grand slam with this design doesn’t mean that their other fans are good. The residential fans they make are no better quality than Hampton Bay/ Harbor Breeze,But their install design is bar none the WORST.Buy a Hunter, make it a cast iron! If you want a design other than cast iron, get anything BUT hunter! Hope this helps.
