Modern Forms XF-I-AS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How do I hang a Modern Forms fan more than 72 inches below the ceiling?
Use the Modern Forms XF-I downrod coupler to join two downrods end to end. Modern Forms downrods top out at 72 inches individually, so the coupler is what gets you past that for tall or vaulted ceilings. The rods come in 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 60 and 72 inch lengths, and you order the coupler and both rods separately to build the exact drop you need.
2) Can the XF-I coupler be used on a covered porch or patio fan?
Yes. The XF-I coupler carries a Wet location rating, so it can go on covered patios, porches and other exposed installations, not just conditioned interior space.
3) Does the Modern Forms XF-I coupler come with the downrods?
No. The coupler is sold on its own. For an extended drop you need the coupler plus two downrods, ordered separately, in the lengths that add up to the drop you want.
4) Will the XF-I downrod coupler work with a ceiling fan from another brand?
It is built for Modern Forms Smart Fans and Modern Forms downrods. Modern Forms states it may also be used with other manufacturers' fans, but you have to check the rod dimensions against it first. If you are matching another brand's rod diameter and thread, verify before you commit.
5) Which finish should I order for the downrod coupler?
Match it to the fan and downrod finish. The XF-I is offered in Antique Nickel, Automotive Silver, Brushed Aluminum, Brushed Nickel, Bronze, Distressed Koa, Gloss Black, Graphite, Gloss White, Matte Black, Matte White, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Satin Brass, Stainless Steel, Steel and Titanium Silver. Sixteen finishes in all, keyed to the Modern Forms fan lineup so the joint does not stand out mid-rod.
6) Are Modern Forms downrods threaded on both ends?
No. Modern Forms downrods are threaded on the motor side only. That single-threaded design is what lets an installer adjust the assembly precisely in the field, and it is why a dedicated coupler like the XF-I is needed to tie two rods together rather than simply screwing them into each other.
7) Where can I get the install instructions and spec sheet for the XF-I coupler?
Modern Forms publishes both an installation guide and a specification sheet for the XF-I coupler, and both PDFs are linked with the product. Pull the spec sheet before ordering if you are checking rod diameter against a non Modern Forms fan.
