    Measure the diameter of the down rod. If it is half inch conduit, it will be about 3/4''. Wonder around the electrical supplies and find the close or all thread nipples. Pick one out the same diameter as the down rod. Screw it into the fan, and the ceiling plate to it. Complete the installation.
