I-Beam Adapter
The I-beam adapter can be purchased for hanging the Essence from I-beams. Big Ass Fans offers both a small and large adapter
®
depending on the width of the I-beam. The I-Beam Adapter can only be used on I-beams that are 5" (12.7 cm) to 9-7/8" (25 cm) (small
adapter) or 9-7/8" (25 cm) to 14-5/8" (37 cm) (large adapter) in width. It is not recommended to mount the fan from fabricated I-beams.
Consult a structural engineer to ensure your building structure meets the necessary requirements.
Z-Purlin Brackets
Specialized brackets can be purchased for hanging the Essence from building structures consisting of Z-purlins with lengths ≤30 ft
(9.1 m) and heights ranging from 8" (20.3 cm) to 10" (25.4 cm), and spaced ≤5 ft (1.5 m) apart. The Z-purlin brackets accommodate up
to a 5:12 roof pitch. Consult a structural engineer to ensure your building structure meets the necessary requirements. Note: Angle irons
