• Automatic Aluminum Shutters: The aluminum shutters seal tightly when the fan is off, helping prevent backdrafts, rain intrusion, and energy loss.
• Totally Enclosed Motor: The totally enclosed motor is protected from dust, debris, and overheating, extending service life in demanding environments.
• OSHA-Compliant Guards: Heavy wire, chrome-plated safety guards protect personnel and meet workplace safety requirements.
• Quiet for Its Class: Operating at up to 64 dB, the fan balances high airflow with manageable noise levels for most commercial sites.
