16 Foot HVLS Ceiling Fan | 5 Blades | 6,400 Square Foot Coverage

Product Overview

This 16-foot HVLS ceiling fan uses a five-blade aluminum design to move air across spaces up to 6,400 square feet. The fan operates on an 800-watt PMSM direct-drive motor, eliminating gearbox components and the maintenance associated with them. Total fan weight is 120 pounds.

Standard voltage configuration is 208V-240V single phase, with 277V-480V available as an optional configuration. The fan draws 2.0 amps at 220V and operates at 50/60Hz. Available finishes are black and silver.

Where This Product Fits Best

The 6,400 square foot coverage rating and 16-foot blade diameter make this fan appropriate for warehouses, manufacturing floors, distribution centers, and large open commercial spaces where consistent air movement across a broad area is needed. The IP57 rating allows installation in environments exposed to dust accumulation and occasional water contact, such as agricultural buildings or wash-down areas.

Standard mounting is configured for I-beam attachment. The included 59-inch downrod positions the fan blade plane below typical structural obstructions, with custom downrod lengths available for spaces with unusual ceiling heights or obstructions.

Performance and Functional Considerations

Variable speed control allows operation between 25 and 75 RPM. At full speed, sound output remains below 40 dBA, which is comparable to ambient background noise in most occupied commercial and industrial spaces. This allows continuous operation without contributing significant noise to the environment.

The five aluminum blades are designed for durability in industrial settings while keeping total rotating mass manageable. The direct-drive PMSM motor connects to the blade assembly without intermediate gearing, reducing potential failure points.

Installation and Long-Term Use

The fan mounts to standard I-beam structures using the included mounting hardware. At 120 pounds total weight, installation typically requires rigging equipment and a minimum two-person crew with lift access. The 59-inch standard downrod should be verified against ceiling height and any overhead obstructions before installation.

Control is handled through a wall-mounted VFD with an included remote control, allowing speed adjustment from the floor or a fixed control station. The direct-drive motor design reduces long-term maintenance compared to gearbox-driven HVLS fans.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Once installed, speed is adjusted based on seasonal needs and occupancy. Lower RPM settings provide gentle air circulation during cooler months or in climate-controlled spaces. Higher speeds are used during warmer periods or in facilities where heat stratification near the ceiling needs to be addressed.

The remote control allows personnel to adjust fan speed without accessing the wall-mounted VFD, which is useful in facilities where the control panel is located in a mechanical room or away from the occupied space. Day-to-day operation typically involves setting a speed and leaving it until conditions change.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fan carries an IP57 rating. It can tolerate dust exposure without harmful accumulation and can withstand temporary immersion in water up to one meter for 30 minutes.

Warranty coverage is split between mechanical and electrical components. Mechanical components are covered for 15 years. Electrical components are covered for 5 years.
