    How to install a ceiling fan (hampton bay 52 inch)
    I recently purchased a Hampton Bay ceiling fan (Marta 52 in. Brushed Nickel), but I don't know how to install it. Can you provide me

    Please give me a direct website address, or video link for step by step process.

    If possible some diagrams and wiring help? I need to know what colors go to where. I do not have the guide in the fan box. The manufacturer said he can mail me a copy (which will take a while) or asked me to go to his website.

    No instructions? You will need to make sure the ceiling box is "fan rated " before you start this project.

    We can tell you how to connect it electrically. You have to first tell us things about your present wiring.

    The first thing is are you planning on installing it where you presently have a ceiling light or are you planning to do a completely new installation.
    If planing on installing where a ceiling light presently exist, you must consider that the fan cannot installed on a regular ceiling fixture ceiling box. The ceiling box must be fan rated.

    We cannot just say one color to another because there are several way a ceiling fixture can be wired.

    It's best to get into attic to see if the box is attached to a steel or wood support screwed or nailed between the ceiling joists. If it's attached with small screws you better not trust it, either. It will come down on your head.
