These 52" (actually 51" with 4 blades) Hunter Original are located in a porch at my relative's house. These remote kit (99179, 99180 (Chestnut Brown canopy), and 99181 (Black canopy)) can be used on any Original fully made in China or Taiwan (the ones with "XX XX" sticker on top of motor housing where "X" means any number from 1 through 9), or any 42"-48" Hunter Original, or any J-hook or U-bolt ceiling fans rated 1 amp or less, such as industrial (though you would need a longer set screw if the downrod is less than 3/4" in diameter. I will say it would only be able to fit if the downrod is long enough, Hunter says that downrod would have to be at least 12" long for this kit to be able to be installed. The low speed is acceptable, but I wish medium speed would be a little faster. Maybe speeds would be normal if used on other ceiling fans. These remote kits have floursecent detect option that seem to work well since those fans have CFL bulbs and they don't seem to dim or flicker. Both fans are shown on all 3 remote control speeds as well as light setting.
