68 Inch Commercial Ceiling Fan | 8 Blades | 7,024 CFM | 120V | Matte Black

Product Overview

This 68-inch commercial ceiling fan delivers airflow ranging from 2,730 CFM on low to 7,024 CFM on high. The fan uses eight aluminum blades pitched at 15 degrees, mounted on a 188 x 25 mm motor. Total unit weight is 30.5 lbs.

The fan operates on 120V and includes a controller for speed adjustment. Four speed settings are available, with RPM ranging from 42 on low to 105 on high. The motor direction is reversible, allowing airflow to be directed downward or drawn upward depending on seasonal needs.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fan is sized and rated for commercial, industrial, and larger residential applications where standard ceiling fans lack adequate reach or airflow capacity. The 68-inch blade sweep and high CFM output address spaces where air movement needs exceed typical residential fan performance.

The ETLus wet location listing allows installation in covered outdoor areas, wash-down environments, and interior spaces with elevated humidity or moisture exposure. A 4-inch downrod is included, with a 2-foot downrod available separately for installations requiring greater ceiling clearance.

Performance and Functional Considerations

Airflow output spans from 2,730 CFM at the lowest speed setting to 7,024 CFM at the highest. The four-speed controller provides intermediate adjustment points between these values. Blade speed ranges from 42 RPM to 105 RPM across these settings.

The reversible motor allows the fan to operate in either direction. In standard mode, air is pushed downward for direct cooling. In reverse mode, air is drawn upward to circulate without creating a direct draft, which can be useful in cooler conditions or when mixing stratified air near the ceiling.

Installation and Long-Term Use

The fan ships with a 4-inch downrod for standard ceiling heights. A 2-foot downrod is available separately for higher ceilings where additional drop is needed to position the fan at an effective height. Total fan weight of 30.5 lbs should be accounted for in mounting hardware and structural support.

Aluminum blades resist corrosion and maintain balance over time. The wet location rating supports long-term use in environments where moisture, condensation, or washdown conditions are present.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Day-to-day operation involves selecting one of four speeds using the included controller. Lower speeds provide background air circulation with minimal noise and airflow sensation. Higher speeds deliver more aggressive air movement for cooling or ventilation.

The reversible function is typically adjusted seasonally or based on space conditions. Switching motor direction changes whether occupants feel direct airflow or whether the fan is used primarily to mix air and reduce temperature stratification near the ceiling.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fan is ETLus listed for wet locations. The Matte Black finish is applied to the housing and aluminum blades.

Warranty coverage includes a limited lifetime warranty on the motor and a 1-year warranty on non-electrical components.
