bepgof 20 Report post Posted June 24, 2010 (edited) You can always buy those bracket in the hardware shop. Point to note, those brackets are universal for all types of ceiling fans. SG fans are safety tested together with their brackets. That's why you'll get the brackets when you buy those ceiling fans in SG. If you can, go to the respectively agent to get their brackets. Might cost abit more but it's safer. Hope this helps Cheers pal I got my KDK V56VK from AMK, came without brackets. Bracket looks like a U-shape, with a flat pieces of meter c/w 2 holes at side, welded to the U's top. Got big & small 2 sizes, don't get the wrong one, look at diameter carefully. About $3 a pc.

These brackets are all locally fabricated-some with painting , some without, and the welding part look not so strong - I went to 4 shops, happened seeing all these. All shop owners said "all are like that". You must understand: the bracket is bolted onto ceiling with 2 self-locking bolts at both sides of the metal stripe. The is a limited distance between ceiling and centre to the U or O-shaped. This distance must be compatible for you existing fan's assembly which comes with a rod(with rubber cushioh to absorbe vibration)to put thought the U or O-shaped. If distance too small, fan assembly can be fixed, if distance too big, fan tends to "shake" at full speed. Sorry, must buy also the "self-locking" bolts for the bracket. About $2 a pc depend on size. Open up fan assembly, measure the distance (hopfully got instruction sheet), then buy the bracket & bolts. It seems the forumers here did not mention about the brackets, I guess the the electricians must have settled for them with their knowing. I caught in surprise when electrician told me that I have to buy the bracket & bolts...taught me to measure the distance....also taught me why the fan "shake" at high speed with this type of installation and how to prevent....good luck to you.
