12 Foot HVLS Ceiling Fan | 5 Blades | 4100 Square Foot Coverage | 208-240V or 380-480V

Product Overview

This 16 foot HVLS ceiling fan uses a 6-blade aluminum design and is built for large, open commercial and industrial spaces. The fan delivers up to 70,000 CFM and covers up to 12,750 square feet. It operates at a maximum speed of 44 RPM and produces less than 57 dBA at full speed.

The fan is powered by a 0.5 HP gear drive motor and is controlled by a wall-mounted NEMA 1 VFD controller. The controller includes a safety disconnect, on/off toggle, and speed regulator. The fan weighs 126 lbs and is finished in black.

Multiple voltage options are supported: 110-120V single phase, 208-240V single or three phase, and 460-480V three phase. The fan is designed for 60 Hz operation and can be mounted on I-beams, Z-purlins, or open joists.

Safety features include a safety cable, hub clips, hub retainer, dual-method fastening for all joined components, and an integrated sprinkler shut-off. Downrod extensions are available in 1 ft, 2 ft, 3 ft, and 6 ft lengths to accommodate different ceiling heights.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fan is suited for large, open areas where consistent air movement is needed across wide floor spaces. Typical environments include warehouses, manufacturing plants, distribution centers, aircraft hangars, and gymnasiums.

It is appropriate for facilities with a minimum mounting height of 10 feet, at least 6 feet of ceiling clearance, and a minimum of 2 feet horizontal clearance from obstructions. The fan?s coverage area and airflow output are designed for high-volume, high-ceiling spaces.

Mounting options support installation on I-beams, Z-purlins, or open joists, making it compatible with most industrial and commercial roof structures. The fan?s black finish and aluminum blades are suitable for both functional and visible locations.

Voltage flexibility allows use in facilities with 110-120V, 208-240V, or 460-480V power supplies, single or three phase, as required by the site?s electrical infrastructure.

Performance and Functional Considerations

The fan?s 16 foot diameter and 6-blade design enable it to move up to 70,000 CFM, supporting air circulation in spaces up to 12,750 square feet. The variable speed control allows adjustment to match seasonal or operational needs.

At full speed, the fan operates at 44 RPM and produces less than 57 dBA, minimizing noise impact in occupied spaces. The 0.5 HP gear drive motor is sized for continuous operation in demanding environments.

The wall-mounted VFD controller provides direct speed regulation and includes a safety disconnect for lockout/tagout procedures. The integrated safety features address both mechanical and fire protection requirements.

Downrod extension options allow the fan to be positioned at the optimal height for airflow and clearance, based on the facility?s ceiling structure and layout.

Installation and Long-Term Use

The fan can be mounted on I-beams, Z-purlins, or open joists, supporting a range of structural conditions found in industrial and commercial buildings. Minimum mounting height is 10 feet, with at least 6 feet of ceiling clearance and 2 feet of horizontal clearance required for safe operation.

Downrod extensions in 1 ft, 2 ft, 3 ft, and 6 ft lengths provide flexibility for different ceiling heights and installation scenarios. The fan weighs 126 lbs, so proper lifting and secure mounting are necessary during installation.

The wall-mounted VFD controller is installed at a convenient location for operator access. The controller?s safety disconnect and on/off toggle support safe maintenance and lockout procedures.

Long-term use is supported by the fan?s aluminum blades, gear drive motor, and integrated safety features, including a safety cable, hub clips, hub retainer, dual-method fastening, and sprinkler shut-off integration.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Once installed, the fan is typically set to run at a speed that matches the facility?s comfort or process requirements. The wall-mounted controller allows you to adjust speed as needed for seasonal changes or occupancy levels.

Operators use the on/off toggle and speed regulator for day-to-day control. The safety disconnect is used during maintenance or when lockout/tagout is required.

The fan?s low sound level supports use in occupied spaces without disrupting normal activities. The aluminum blades and gear drive motor are designed for continuous operation in industrial environments.

Safety features such as the integrated sprinkler shut-off and dual-method fastening are relied on for compliance with facility safety protocols and to minimize risk during both operation and maintenance.
