Ensure a reinforced poured concrete pad with structural steel

base or inertia base shall be available for the Fans.
To eliminate vibration and noise from being transferred to the
building, vibration isolators should be used. The fan is mounted
directly on the isolation base and must be supported for the
entire length of the fan base angle. Ensure that the isolators are
INSTALLED

between the isolation base and the foundation.

After the fan, isolation base, and isolators are INSTALLED

entire assembly must be levelled.

, the

Position the level on the isolation base, not the fan shaft, for
proper levelling.
Ensure that the motor and fan shafts must be level and parallel
relative to each other for proper alignment.
Rotatable Housings
It may be necessary to rotate the scroll of the fan to achieve
different discharge position than what was originally supplied.
This is accomplished by removing the housing bolts, rotating the
housing to a new discharge position and reinstalling the bolts.
Radial Gap, Overlap & Wheel Alignment
Efficient fan performance can be maintained by having correct
radial gap, overlap and wheel alignment. The se item should be
checked after the fan has been in operation for 24 hours and
before start-up after the unit has been serviced.
Radial gap is adjusted by loosening the inlet cone/ ring bolts and
centering the cone/ring on the wheel. If additional adjustment is
required to maintain constant radial gap, loosening the bearing
bolts and centering the wheel is acceptable as a secondary
OPTION .
Overlap is adjusted by loosening the wheel hub from the shaft
and moving the wheel to the desired position along the shaft.
There should be a smooth feel to the profile when moving from
one component to the other. Overlap on double width fans is set
by having equal spacing on each side of the wheel.
Wheel Alignment: Correct wheel alignment for an industrial
process an by centering the wheel in the housing.
V-Belt Drives
Remove the protective coating from the end of the fan shaft and
assure that it is free of nicks and burrs.
Check fan and motor shafts for parallel and angular alignment.
Slide sheaves on shafts- do not drive sheaves on as this may
result in bearing damage.
Align fan and motor sheaves with straight-edge or string, and
tighten.
Place belts over sheaves. Do not pry or force belts, as this could
result in damage to the cords in the belts.
Adjust the tension until the belts appear snug. Run the unit for a
few minutes and allow the belts to seat properly.
With the fan off, adjust the belt tension by moving the motor
base. When in operation, the tight side of the belts should be in a
straight line from sheave to sheave with a slight bow on the slack
side.
Ducted Outlet INSTALLATIONS
Discharge Duct Turns: Duct turns located near the fan
discharge should always be in the direction of the fan rotation.
Fan performance is reduced when duct turns are made
immediately off the fan discharge. To achieve catalogued fan

performance there should be at least three equivalent duct

diameters of straight ductwork between the fan discharge and
any duct turns.
Ducted Inlet INSTALLATIONS
Inlet Duct Turns: INSTALLATION of a duct turn or elbow too
close to the fan inlet reduces fan performance because air is
loaded unevenly into the fan wheel. To achieve full fan
performance, there should be at least one fan wheel diameter
between the turn or elbow and the fan inlet.
Inlet Spins: Inlet spin is a frequent cause of reduced fan
performance. The change in fan performance is a function of the
intensity of spin and not easily defined. Ensure that proper duct
design and air flow patterns are achieved.
Non-Ducted Inlet Clearance
INSTALLATION of a fan with an open inlet too close to a wall or
bulkhead will cause reduced fan performance. It is desirable to
have one fan wheel diameter between parallel fan units and
minimum of three-fourths of a wheel diameter between the fan
inlet and the wall.
Plenum and Plug Fans Installations
Adjacent Walls: The distance between fan and walls or ceilings
will effect the performance of the fan. The recommended distance
between the fan wheel and any wall is a minimum of one-half
wheel diameter. Multiple walls reduce the performance even
more.
Side by Side: When two or more plenum fans are in parallel,
there should be at least one fan diameter spacing between the
wheels. Applications

INSTALLATION

Procedure for each Fan Names & Area of Use

Centrifugal Exhaust Roof Exhaust Fan for Battery ROOM

Fans are to rigged and moved by lifting brackets provided or by
the skid when a fork lifts are used. Location of brackets varies by
fan model & sizes. Check the location of brackets from the unit for
lifting. Fan shall not be lifted by the shaft, housing, motor, belt
guard or accessories.
Handle in such a manner as to keep from scratching or chipping
the coating. Damaged finish may reduce ability of fan to resist
corrosion.
When INSTALLING

the fans, ensure the proper protective

devices are used to protect personnel from moving parts and

other hazards.
Electrical Disconnects: Fan motors should have disconnects
located in close visual proximity to turn off electrical SERVICE .
Service disconnects shall be locked out when maintenance is
being performed.
Moving Parts: All moving parts must have guards to protect
personnel. Fully secure fan wheel before performing any

installation or maintenance. Check guards (Belt, shaft, inlet, and

outlet) that they are secure & INSTALLED

Note that the fans are listed for a maximum of 375F and include
a bolted access door and 1 in. drain connection. An outlet guard
is strongly recommended when the fan discharge is accessible.
An upblast discharge is recommended.
The fan discharge must be a minimum of 40 inches above the
roof line and the exhaust duct must be fully welded to s distance
of 18 inches above the roof surface.
Emergency Spill Exhaust Fans for Chemical Store, Fresh
Chemical & Solvent Store, Chemical Supply & Kitchen Hoods
Upon RECEIVING
unit, check for any damage and or missing
accessories & report/ return to shipper/ supplier.
When lifting the unit, use either the (4) lifting points on the drive
frame or (2) lifting points on the bearing plate if present.
Move the fans to the desired location using lifting points and
fasten securely through the mounting holes in base. Shims may
be necessary depending upon roofing material thickness.
The motor amperage and voltage rating must be checked for
compatibility to the supply voltage prior to final electrical
connection. For non-flammable applications the electrical supply
can be routed through the conduit chase between the curb cap
and the bottom of the motor compartment.
A drain trough is provided on all fans for single point drainage of
water and other residue. Drain point shall be connected to the
nearest drainage system.
Check all fasteners for tightness. The wheel should rotate freely
and be aligned. Wheel position is preset and the unit is test run
at the factory. Movement may occur during shipment, and
realignment may be necessary. Centering can be accomplished
by loosening the bolts holding the drive frame to the shock
mounts and repositioning the drive frame. Wheel and inlet cone
overlap can be adjusted by loosening the set screws in the wheel
and moving the wheel to the desired position.
Direction of rotation is critical. Reversed rotation will result in poor
air performance, motor overloading and possible burnout. Check
wheel rotation by momentarily energizing the unit. Rotation
should be clockwise and correspond to the rotation decal on the
unit.
If adjustments are made, it very important to check the pulleys for
proper alignment. Misaligned pulleys lead to excessive belt wear,
vibration, noise and power loss.
Assembly of Hooded Propeller Fans: Unpack & inspect all the
parts. Each fan that is shipped knocked down has the following
hardware package containing Hood Support Fasteners, Hood
Fasteners & Birdscreen/ Filter Fasteners.
INSTALLATION of Hood Support Rails: Fasten hood support
rails with 3/8-16 x hex head spinlock bolts & nuts.
The bolts that fasten the fan panel to the base will also be used
to secure the hood support rails and filter retaining angles.
Remove the 3/8- 16 x bolts from one side of the fan panel.
Assemble the parts and wrench tightens the hood support rails
and filter retaining angles perpendicular to fan drive frame.
Mounting holes in fan base will line up with holes in hood support
rails and filter retaining angles.
Installation of Filter Channel: INSTALL
5/16-18 x weld studs and spinlock nuts.

filter channels with

Finger tightens the channels in place. Bolt hole locations are

typical but larger units will have additional filter end channel
sections.
INSTALL Filter End Angles with 5/16 18 x weld studs and
spinlock nuts. Finger tightens the end angles in place. Note
correct position of end angle with angle leg down and facing the
fan base.
After all filter channels and end angles are bolted together,
square-up assembly and wrench tighten all fasteners.
INSTALL the filters. Slide filters into filter channels. No
fasteners or hardware are required.
Install the Hood Rails with 3/8- 16 x 1 hex head spinlock bolts
and nuts.
Position the hood rails and finger tightens the fasteners. These
fasteners will be wrench tightened after the hood panels are
INSTALLED and secured.
Install the Hood Panels with 3/8 sheet metal screws with washer.
Locate the male hood enclosure panel. Start with this assembly
first. This is the starter panel. Place this panel on the hood rails
and fasten tight with four screws.
Install the intermediate panels one at a time. The panels have
interlocking ribs. For fan sizes 48 & larger, hood clips must also
be INSTALLED
on each panel. Each panel is predrilled for
hood clip installation. Secure each hood clip with a screw and
secure each intermediate panel to the hood rails with four screws.
INSTALL the female hood enclosure panel. Secure this panel
to the hood rails with four screws. Ro install the hood clips,
remove the end filters prior to installing and securing the female
hood enclosure panel to gain access to the underside of the
hood. Reinstall the end filters after hood clips are installed.
Toilet Exhaust Fans
Toilets exhaust fans are thoroughly inspected and test run at the
factory. Items such as proper wheel alignment, balance, vibration
and workmanship are analysed by quality control personnel using
state-of-the-art equipment.
Prior to INSTALLATION , the unit must be carefully inspected
for visible damage or concealed damage during handling and
shipping.
Fans are to be rigged by either the lifting brackets provided or by
the skid when a forklift is used. All toilet fans inline model have
mounting brackets located at the ends of fan housing with which
slings can be attached. Fans should not be lifted by the shaft,
housing, motor, belt guard or any accessories.
For storage & handling of Toilet Exhaust Fans, Refer to Item 7.3.
Any INSTALLATION
with inlet or discharge configurations that
deviate from manufacturers recommendation may result in
reduced fan performance. Restricted or unstable flow at the fan
inlet can cause pre-rotation of incoming air or uneven loading of
the fan wheel yielding large system losses and increased sound
levels. Free discharge or turbulent flow in the discharge ductwork
will also result in system effect losses.
Typical INSTALLATIONS

for Toilet Exhaust fans are horizontal

& vertical mounting with motor in the 3 or 9 o clock position or

vertical installations. Additional mounting rails are recommended.
Electrical Connections: Before electrical connections are made,
the supply voltage, phase and ampere capacity must be checked
for compatibility with the fan motor. In addition, the supply wiring
must be properly fused and conform to local & national electrical
codes.

Move the fan to the desired location and fasten securely through
mounting holes provided in the base angles. The unit must be
level (shimming may be necessary). Flexible duct connections
and vibration isolators should be used where noise is a factor.
The motor voltage and ampere rating must be checked for
compatibility with the electrical supply prior to final electrical
connection. Supply wiring to the fan must be properly fused and
conform to local and national electrical codes.
The discharge is factory set. However, it can be rotated to other
discharge positions in the field if necessary. Removal of the
housing bolts allows the discharge to be rotated to the clockwise
position. Fan rotation is always viewed from the drive side of the
housing.
Wheels must rotate freely and not rub on the inlet venture.
Rotation direction of the wheel is critical and incorrect rotation will
result in reduced air performance, increased motor loading and
possible motor burnout.
Check wheel rotation by momentarily energizing the unit and
noting if rotation is in the same direction as the airflow at the
outlet and conforms to the rotation decal affixed to the unit.
Compressed, Vacuum, Store & Gas Store Exhaust Fans
Upon receiving the unit, check for any damage and report
immediately to the supplier/ manufacturer. Also check that all
accessories are ACCOUNTED

for.

Move the fan to its desired location and fasten securely through
mounting holes in base. Shims may be necessary depending
upon roofing material thickness.
Access the motor compartment is accomplished by removing the
screws. The cover can be removed and placed on a flat surface
in an area protected from strong winds that could blow it off the
roof.
The voltage rating of the motor must be checked for compatibility
to supply voltage prior to final electrical connection.
A drain trough is provided on the fans for one point drainage of
residue. Some means of collection of residue must be provided
by either placing a container directly under the trough or by
utilizing an adapter to direct the residue to another location.
Check all fasteners for tightness. The wheel should rotate freely
and be aligned as shown at right. Wheel position is preset and
the unit tested at the factory. However, movement may occur
during shipment, and realignment may be necessary. Centering
may be accomplished by loosening the set screws in the wheel
and moving the wheel to desired position.
Direction of rotation is very critical. Improper rotation will result in
loss performance, excessive horsepower and possible motor
burnout. Check rotation by energizing the unit momentarily.
Exhaust Fans for Pump ROOM
Upon receiving the unit, check for any damage and report
immediately to the supplier/ manufacturer. Also check that all
accessories are ACCOUNTED

for.

When lifting unit on to roof, use either the 4 lifting points on the
drive frame or the 2 lifting points on the bearing plate if present.
Access to the drive frame is accomplished by removing the
screws. The cover can then be removed and placed on a flat
surface in an area protected from strong winds. Move fan to
desired location using lifting points and fasten securely through
mounting holes in base. Shims may be necessary depending

upon roofing material thickness.

The motors amperage and voltage ratings must be checked for
compatibility to supply voltage prior to final electrical connection.
Check all fasteners for tightness. The wheel should rotate freely
and be aligned. Wheel position is preset and the unit is test run
at the factory. Movement may occur during shipment, and
realignment may be necessary. Centering can be accomplished
by loosening the bolts holding the drive frame to the shock
mounts and repositioning the drive frame. Wheel and inlet cone
overlap can be adjusted by loosening the set screws in the wheel
and moving the wheel to the desired position.
Direction of wheel rotation is critical. Reversed rotation will result
in poor performance, motor overloading and possible burnout.
Check wheel rotation (viewing from shaft side) by momentarily
energizing the unit. Rotation should be clockwise and correspond
to the rotation decal on the unit.
If adjustments are made, it is very important to check the pulleys
for proper alignment. Misaligned pulleys lead to excessive belt
wear, vibration, and noise and power loss.
Belt tension can be adjusted by loosening four fasteners on the
drive frame.
The motor plate slides on the slotted adjusting arms & drive
frame angles in the same manner. Belt tension should be
adjusted to allow 1/64 in. of deflection per inch of belt span.
The adjustable motor pulley is factory set for the RPM. Speed
can be increased by closing or decreased by opening the
adjustable motor sheave.
Exhaust Fans for Laboratory & Office Area
It is important that the unit must be inspected for visible &
concealed damage before beginning INSTALLATION . Check to
see that all accessory items have been received.
Units are being lifted using minimum of four points on the fan
housing or attach two suitable chains/ straps around the entire
Any INSTALLATION
with inlet or discharge configurations that
deviate manufacturer recommendations may result in reduced
fan performance. Restricted or unstable flow at the fan inlet can
cause pre-rotation of incoming air or uneven loading of the fan
propeller yielding large system losses and increase sound levels.
Free discharge or turbulent flow in the discharge ductwork will
also result in system effect losses.
Before electrical connections are made, the supply voltage and
ampere must be checked for compatibility with the fan motor. The
supply wiring must be properly fused and conform to local and
national electrical codes. The supply wires are then connected to
an OPTIONAL
safety disconnect switch, to the optional wiring
pigtail or directly to the motor junction box.
