Description
A 48-inch ceiling fan down rod in brushed nickel metal, for Matthews-Gerbar fans needing extra drop on high or sloped ceilings.
This Matthews-Gerbar down rod extends your compatible ceiling fan to the ideal height for better air circulation and light distribution. The brushed nickel finish offers a warm, satin sheen that complements a wide range of fan finishes. The metal construction ensures durable support, and the rod is field-cuttable for custom lengths.

- Matching the brushed nickel finish of compatible Matthews-Gerbar fans

Not ideal for
- Rooms with standard 8-9 ft ceilings, where a shorter down rod or flush mount is more appropriate
- Fans not listed as compatible with Matthews-Gerbar down rods
