Standard Mounting Options
Standard Wall Mounting
The split drawing (right) illustrates the typical ways
of mounting fans directly to the wall
when a wall housing or collar is not used.
For exhaust fans, there is a minimum dimension
(M) which must be maintained between the
propeller and damper, or guard to achieve
optimum performance (failure to meet this minimum
dimension will result in loss of fan performance,
increased noise and shortened fan and damper
life). There is also a minimum required wall opening
dimension (W.O.) to allow the venturi to fit into the
wall opening.
The chart at far right provides the minimum "M"
and wall opening dimensions.
This installation may require a spacer (by others)
between the fan and wall to achieve the minimum "M" dimension.
Fans can be mounted directly to a wall only if the wall is of
sufficient thickness to meet the minimum "M" dimension as
shown here. If mounting to a wall through the face of the fan
panel, holes will need to be appropriately drilled where required.

NOTE: Protective guarding is also required below the fan for safety. When
guarding is not ordered with the fan, it must be supplied by the installer.
When specifying a fan for horizontal mounting, the motor location (top or
bottom) and airflow (upward or downward) are required information.

Horizontally mounted fans are available for applications
requiring vertical airflow.
Typical applications include mounting fans in ductwork
or plenums as transfer fans or suspending them from
the ceiling in a wall housing for use as recirculation
fans. Both belt and direct drive fans can be horizontally
mounted. Motors can be mounted on top or on bottom
with airflow up or down. Specify configuration best
suited for access and service.
Horizontally mounted fans are put under different
stresses than fans mounted in a wall. Construction
modifications are required depending on motor
location (top or bottom) and whether the fan is belt
or direct drive.
