12 Foot HVLS Ceiling Fan | 5 Blades | 4100 Square Foot Coverage | 208-240V or 380-480V
This 12 foot diameter HVLS ceiling fan is a strong choice for large commercial and industrial spaces needing reliable, high-volume air movement, thanks to its 176,574 CFM output and broad 4,100 square foot coverage. The five aluminum blades and variable speed control via a wall-mounted VFD controller allow precise airflow adjustment for comfort or process needs, while the IP55 fan and IP66 controller ratings support use in dusty or damp environments. It is well-suited for warehouses, manufacturing floors, distribution centers, and sports venues with open layouts and adequate ceiling height. Not intended for hazardous or extreme wet locations.

Product Overview
This 12-foot HVLS ceiling fan is designed to move high volumes of air across large interior spaces. Its five aluminum blades and PMSM motor produce up to 176,574 CFM at variable speed.
The fan uses a wall-mounted VFD controller and is available for 208V-240V or 380V-480V electrical systems. The listed coverage area is 4,100 square feet, subject to final ceiling height, obstructions, and layout conditions.
Core Performance and Output
The 0.5 HP, 370-watt PMSM motor operates at up to 100 RPM and delivers 176,574 CFM. Variable-speed operation allows airflow to be adjusted for changing occupancy and operating conditions.
The 12-foot diameter creates a broad, low-speed air pattern rather than concentrated airflow. The 4,100-square-foot coverage figure is a planning reference; final coverage changes with mounting height, ceiling structure, equipment, and adjacent fans.
This fan operates on 50/60 Hz power and is available in single-phase or three-phase configurations. Full output can be excessive directly below the fan in lower mounting conditions, so controller adjustment is important during commissioning.
Adjustability and Control Options
The wall-mounted VFD controller provides variable-speed control. It allows maintenance personnel to set airflow based on conditions within the space.
The controller is rated IP66. The fan assembly is rated IP55.
Longevity and Reliability
The fan uses a PMSM motor rated at 0.5 HP and 370 watts. This motor configuration supports variable-speed operation through the supplied VFD controller.
The aluminum blade construction avoids the added weight associated with heavier blade materials. The fan weighs 143 pounds before accounting for project-specific mounting components.
The warranty is 2 years.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
The fan has a 12-foot diameter, five aluminum blades, and a silver finish. Its maximum sound level is listed at 38 dB.
A 2-inch downrod is included in the product specifications. Final support structure, fan clearance, and controller location must be reviewed before installation.
Where This Product Fits Best
This fan fits large enclosed spaces requiring broad air movement from an overhead installation. Its 12-foot diameter and 4,100-square-foot coverage rating align with open-plan ventilation layouts.
- warehouse ventilation
- manufacturing facility ventilation
- distribution center ventilation
- agricultural building ventilation
- aircraft hangar ventilation
- gymnasium ventilation
The IP55 fan rating and IP66 controller rating support installations where equipment protection ratings are part of the project requirement. Ceiling height, structural capacity, obstructions, and electrical service determine final placement.
Installation and Long-Term Use
The 143-pound fan requires a mounting structure capable of supporting the fan and installation loads. The 12-foot blade sweep requires clear space around the fan and below the blades.
Install the wall-mounted VFD controller where authorized personnel can access it for speed adjustment and service. Confirm whether the site uses 208V-240V or 380V-480V power and whether single-phase or three-phase operation applies.
Long-term use includes checking blade condition, mounting hardware, electrical connections, and controller operation as part of the facility maintenance program.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
This fan is mounted overhead so its airflow can spread across the open area below. Mounting height is determined by available ceiling clearance, blade clearance, structural support, and the airflow pattern required for the selected application.
In warehouse ventilation, manufacturing facility ventilation, and distribution center ventilation layouts, fans are positioned around rack lines, equipment zones, and structural obstructions. In agricultural building ventilation and aircraft hangar ventilation layouts, open floor area and overhead clearance drive placement.
Spacing varies with mounting height, obstructions, and the desired airflow overlap. Higher fan speed increases airflow but may not correct poor placement around structural barriers.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
The fan is rated IP55. The wall-mounted VFD controller is rated IP66.
The fan is rated for 50/60 Hz operation and is available in 208V-240V or 380V-480V configurations. Available phase options are 1P and 3P.
The warranty is 2 years.
