68 Inch Commercial Ceiling Fan | 8 Blades | 7,024 CFM | 120V | Matte Black or White
This commercial-grade ceiling fan stands out for its robust aluminum blade construction, high airflow output up to 7,024 CFM, and ETLus wet location rating, making it well-suited for warehouses, gymnasiums, covered outdoor areas, and other large commercial or industrial spaces where moisture exposure and consistent air movement are concerns. The reversible function and four selectable speeds allow for year-round use and operational flexibility, while the included controller simplifies adjustments. However, with a 68-inch diameter and 30.5 lb weight, it requires secure ceiling mounting and may not be suitable for smaller rooms or structures unable to support its size.

Product Overview
This 68 inch commercial ceiling fan is designed for high-volume air movement in larger commercial, retail, and hospitality spaces. The fan features 8 aluminum blades, a 4-speed controller, and a reversible function for year-round use. It is ETLus listed for wet locations, making it suitable for both indoor and covered outdoor environments where durability and moisture resistance are required.
Typical installations include gymnasiums, barns, restaurants, and retail spaces with mounting heights that support effective air circulation. The fan is available in matte black or white finishes and is intended for downrod mounting only.
Core Performance and Output
This ceiling fan delivers a maximum airflow of 7,024 CFM at high speed and 2,730 CFM at low speed, supporting coverage areas up to 800 square feet. The 8-blade design and 15-degree blade pitch provide broad, even air distribution. Four selectable speeds allow for adjustment based on seasonal needs or occupancy levels.
The fan operates on 120V and uses a 188 x 25 mm motor for consistent performance. At mounting heights below 10 feet, airflow may be excessive for smaller rooms. For optimal performance, avoid installations where obstructions limit blade clearance or disrupt airflow patterns.
Adjustability and Control Options
The included controller provides four speed settings, allowing adjustment from low to high airflow as needed. The reversible motor supports both downdraft and updraft operation, enabling use for cooling in summer and destratification in winter.
Speed changes are immediate and reliable. The fan does not support integrated smart controls or networked building automation. All adjustments are made via the supplied controller.
Longevity and Reliability
The fan uses an aluminum blade set and a sealed motor housing, supporting long-term operation in commercial and semi-exposed environments. The ETLus wet location listing confirms suitability for areas subject to humidity or occasional moisture exposure.
Routine maintenance is limited to periodic cleaning and inspection of mounting hardware. The fan is backed by a 1-year warranty. Extended exposure to corrosive chemicals or direct water spray should be avoided to maintain finish and motor integrity.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
The fan measures 68 inches in diameter and weighs 30.5 lbs. The 8 aluminum blades are pitched at 15 degrees for efficient air movement. The housing and blades are finished in either matte black or white, with a corrosion-resistant coating suitable for commercial use.
Downrod mounting is required, with a supplied 4-inch downrod. The fan is not designed for flush or sloped ceiling installations. The motor is sized for continuous operation and balanced for low vibration.
Where This Product Fits Best
This ceiling fan is intended for commercial and large-scale environments where consistent air movement is required. It is suitable for both indoor and covered outdoor spaces that demand robust airflow and wet location compliance.
- commercial space ventilation
- restaurant ventilation
- retail ventilation
- office ventilation
- hospitality ventilation
- outdoor patio ventilation
- lobby ventilation
- covered amenity space ventilation
The fan is designed for areas with mounting heights that allow for safe blade clearance and effective air distribution. It is suitable for spaces up to 800 square feet per unit, with environmental protection for wet locations.
Installation and Long-Term Use
Installation requires a secure overhead structure capable of supporting the 30.5 lb fan and dynamic loads during operation. Downrod mounting is standard, and the supplied 4-inch downrod provides adequate clearance for most flat ceilings.
Routine inspection of mounting hardware and periodic cleaning of blades are recommended. The fan is designed for continuous operation in commercial settings. For installations in high humidity or semi-exposed areas, ensure all electrical connections are protected according to code.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
Fans of this size are typically installed at mounting heights between 10 and 15 feet, with spacing determined by the coverage area and desired airflow. In open-plan commercial spaces, one fan per 600?800 square feet is common, with adjustments based on ceiling height and obstructions.
Grouping multiple fans can improve air distribution in larger rooms. Higher speed settings increase airflow but may introduce additional noise, which should be considered in noise-sensitive environments.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This fan is ETLus listed for wet location use. All electrical and mechanical components meet commercial safety standards. The fan is supplied with a 1-year warranty covering manufacturing defects.
Follow all local codes and manufacturer instructions for installation and maintenance. Do not install in environments with direct water spray or corrosive chemicals beyond the wet location rating.
