12 Foot HVLS Ceiling Fan | 6 Blades | 3600 Square Foot Coverage

Product Overview

This 12-foot HVLS ceiling fan is a six-blade fan designed for large-area ventilation. Its 800W PMSM direct-drive motor operates at variable speeds from 25 to 100 RPM.

The fan covers up to 3,600 square feet and uses a standard I-beam mounting arrangement with a 39-inch downrod. It is configured for overhead installation where broad air movement is needed without high operating sound levels.

Core Performance and Output

The fan operates on 208V-240V single-phase power, with 277V-480V available as an option. Motor draw is 1.9A at 220V, and the controller supports variable-speed operation.

The 12-foot diameter and six aluminum blades distribute air across a stated coverage area of 3,600 square feet. Coverage and air movement across the floor area depend on mounting height, obstruction locations, and the final fan layout.

The fan produces less than 40 dB of sound during operation. Its output can be excessive for smaller enclosed areas where the full 3,600-square-foot coverage area is not needed.

Adjustability and Control Options

A wall-mounted VFD controls fan speed and includes remote control operation. Variable speed allows the operating level to be adjusted for changing ventilation requirements.

The VFD is separate from the fan body and requires a suitable wall location for access and operation. Control placement should be coordinated with the fan location before installation.

Longevity and Reliability

The PMSM direct-drive motor eliminates belt-driven components from the fan assembly. The motor is rated at 800 watts.

The fan carries a 15-year mechanical warranty, a 5-year motor warranty, and a 3-year electrical warranty. Long-term operation depends on maintaining the mounting structure, electrical connections, controller, and blade assembly.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The fan has a 12-foot diameter, six aluminum blades, and a total weight of 55 pounds. Available finish colors are black and silver.

The enclosure is rated IP57. Standard mounting is for an I-beam, and the supplied downrod length is 39 inches.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fan fits large indoor areas that need overhead ventilation coverage across open floor space. Its 12-foot diameter and 3,600-square-foot coverage area align with facilities that have adequate structural support and clearance for a large-diameter fan.

• manufacturing facility ventilation
• warehouse ventilation
• distribution center ventilation
• aircraft hangar ventilation
• gymnasium ventilation
• agricultural building ventilation

The IP57 rating supports use where the fan may be exposed to dust and water ingress conditions covered by that rating. I-beam mounting and the 55-pound fan weight require verification of the existing structural mounting location.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Installation uses the standard I-beam mounting system and 39-inch downrod. The mounting height must provide adequate clearance for the 12-foot blade diameter and account for nearby building elements.

The wall-mounted VFD requires electrical coordination with the selected 208V-240V supply or optional 277V-480V configuration. The remote control should remain accessible to personnel responsible for operation.

Long-term inspection should include the I-beam mount, blade attachment points, downrod, electrical connections, and VFD enclosure. Any changes to the facility layout should be reviewed for clearance from the blade sweep.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

In warehouse ventilation, manufacturing facility ventilation, and distribution center ventilation layouts, the fan is mounted overhead to cover an open area below. Mounting height is determined by available structural elevation, blade clearance, and the ventilation area being served.

For aircraft hangar ventilation, gymnasium ventilation, and agricultural building ventilation, fan locations are typically arranged around the usable open area rather than placed directly over obstructions. The 3,600-square-foot coverage figure is a planning reference, while final spacing depends on the building layout and mounting height.

Higher fan speed increases operating output, while lower speed settings reduce fan speed and sound. Final fan placement should account for the 12-foot blade diameter before mounting locations are established.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

The fan is rated IP57.

It operates at 208V-240V single-phase power, with 277V-480V available as an option. Installation must use the standard I-beam mounting arrangement.

Warranty coverage is 15 years mechanical, 5 years motor, and 3 years electrical.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What voltage does this 12-foot HVLS fan require?

A: The standard voltage is 208V-240V single-phase. A 277V-480V option is available.

Q: What should be considered when planning the fan layout?

A: The fan has a stated coverage area of 3,600 square feet. Mounting height, blade clearance, structural mounting locations, and the facility layout affect final fan placement.

Application Questions and Clarification

Q: Is this fan suitable for warehouse ventilation and manufacturing facility ventilation?

A: Warehouse ventilation and manufacturing facility ventilation are primary applications for this HVLS fan product family. Final placement requires an I-beam mounting location and adequate clearance for the 12-foot diameter.

Q: How is fan speed controlled for gymnasium ventilation or aircraft hangar ventilation?

A: Fan speed is controlled by the wall-mounted VFD with remote control. The fan operates at variable speeds from 25 to 100 RPM.
