16 Foot HVLS Ceiling Fan | 8 Blades | 12,750 Square Foot Coverage | 92298 CFM

Product Overview

This is a 16 foot diameter, 8-blade HVLS ceiling fan designed for large, open commercial and industrial spaces. The fan delivers up to 92,298 CFM and covers up to 12,750 square feet. It operates at a maximum speed of 44 RPM and produces less than 57 dBA of sound during operation.

The fan uses a 0.5 HP gear drive motor and supports both single-phase and three-phase power. Voltage compatibility includes 208V-240V, 110V-120V, and 460V-480V. The fan is available in brushed aluminum, black, blue, and white finishes. Blade material is aluminum for durability and corrosion resistance.

A wall-mounted NEMA 1 VFD controller is included for speed regulation and on/off control. The controller also features a safety disconnect. The fan weighs 140 lbs and is designed for mounting to I-beams, Z-purlins, or open joists. Downrod extensions are available in 1, 2, 3, and 6 foot lengths.

Safety features include a safety cable, hub clips, hub retainer, dual-method fastening for all joined components, and an integrated sprinkler shut-off.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fan is suitable for large, open areas where high airflow and even air distribution are required. Typical applications include warehouses, manufacturing facilities, distribution centers, aircraft hangars, and gymnasiums.

It is designed for spaces with a minimum mounting height of 10 feet, a minimum ceiling clearance of 3 to 4 feet, and a minimum horizontal clearance of 2 feet from obstructions. The fan is intended for use in environments where ceiling structure supports I-beam, Z-purlin, or open joist mounting.

The fan is appropriate for facilities that require variable speed control and quiet operation. It is not intended for use in confined or low-ceiling spaces.

Performance and Functional Considerations

The 16 foot diameter and 8-blade design allow for high volume, low speed airflow across large areas. The fan is rated for 92,298 CFM, supporting air movement and comfort in spaces up to 12,750 square feet.

Variable speed control is managed through the wall-mounted VFD controller, allowing adjustment to suit changing conditions or occupancy levels. The fan operates at a maximum of 44 RPM and maintains a sound level below 57 dBA.

Aluminum blades provide strength and resistance to corrosion. The 0.5 HP gear drive motor is sized for continuous operation in commercial and industrial settings.

Multiple voltage options (208V-240V, 110V-120V, 460V-480V) and both single-phase and three-phase compatibility allow integration with a range of electrical systems.

Installation and Long-Term Use

The fan is designed for mounting to I-beams, Z-purlins, or open joists. Downrod extensions in 1, 2, 3, and 6 foot lengths support installation at the required height and clearance for the space.

Minimum mounting height is 10 feet, with at least 3 to 4 feet of ceiling clearance and 2 feet of horizontal clearance from obstructions. The fan weighs 140 lbs, so structural support must be verified before installation.

The wall-mounted NEMA 1 VFD controller provides local control for speed and on/off operation. Safety features such as the safety cable, hub clips, hub retainer, and dual-method fastening are included for secure installation and operation.

Integrated sprinkler shut-off is provided for compatibility with fire protection systems. Routine inspection of mounting hardware and safety features is recommended for long-term reliability.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Once installed, the fan is typically operated using the wall-mounted VFD controller. You can adjust the speed to match seasonal needs or occupancy levels. The on/off toggle and safety disconnect are used for routine operation and maintenance access.

In day-to-day use, the fan provides consistent air movement across large open areas, helping to maintain comfort and reduce stagnant air. The low sound level allows operation without disrupting normal activities in the space.

The aluminum blades and gear drive motor are designed for continuous use in demanding environments. The fan?s safety features are built in and do not require user intervention during normal operation.

Color options allow the fan to match or complement facility aesthetics, but do not affect performance or maintenance requirements.
