Mike, a 12/12 pitch is 45 degrees. You may have to use a little math to figure out how far down to hang the 44" fan to keep from hitting the angle of the ceiling. Geometry specifically. Remember the A sq + B sq = C sq for figuring the hypoteneuse of a right triangle?? If the ceiling fan is 44", the base (A) of the right triangle is 22" with NO CLEARANCE to the angled ceiling. A 45 degree angle dictates the base and the height are equal, so height (B) of the triangle is also 22" with NO CLEARANCE. If you want a few inches of clearance, extend the height by 4" and there should be enough clearance to allow the fan operation.

I would suggest playing with the figures before you buy the extension rods though. The simple answer to you question remains however...45 degrees.

SOURCE: Similar problem: Does Hampton Bay Vaulted Ceiling Mount exist?

Ok so here is the deal. No there does not seem to be a Hampton Bay specific mount. The mount that comes standard in most of the Hampton Bay fans can handle the angle of most standard (read: small) angles. I do not know if it will be the case with all Hunter products, but the adapter for the Hunter fan that I replaced, worked with my new Hampton Bay. So now, I have from the downrod up is from the original Hunter fan. Hope this helps.

Hunter ceiling fan 22450 no reverse switch manual says there is.

Model 22450 does not have a reverse motor. The blades are spring loaded. You change the blade pitch by pushing in and twisting. This will change the air flow direction.

Our vaulted living room ceiling has black smudges coming through the paint...we have used Kilz paint and repainted several times...also had vents put in the roof

Did you happen to spray the mold with Bleach before covering up ? If mold is still in growth mode even Kilz cannot keep it from penetrating.. Usually half water and half bleach would be ok. Just vent the house well.

We have a Hampton Bay 60 in. Brookdale II ceiling fan and it did not include the 4 inch rod needed for 8' ceilings.

You should be able to get a down rod from Home Depot.
The down rods are similar from other suppliers like Lowes, or any lighting suopply store. Just bring the fan with you to be sure that they are the same size, and have the same attachment method.

Just bought a Alture can I get a short rod since our ceilings are

Yes, you should be able to find a shorter fan rod at Home Depot or Lowe's or other building supply stores. If not you could possibly shorten the rod that came with the fan by carefully measuring how much needs to be removed, disassembling the fan and using a hacksaw to cut the rod to the length you need.

I want to hang the fan on a cathedral ceiling with a steep slope. Two questions, is the angle of the slope measured from vertical or horizontal,and does anyone make a kit for my fan to hang because the the...

The slope is measured off the horizontal plane. A 45 degree slope would rise 12 inches for every 12 inches of horizontal travel in this example. If the slope is too great try checking kits made by Fanimation. The Fanimation SCK52 - 52 Degree Ceiling Slope Ceiling Fan Kit will go up to a 52 degree angle ceiling and will fit most downrods. The hampton bay fans are very popular and should work just fine with this kit.
