Hazardous Sidewall Propeller Fans

Hazardous sidewall propeller fan line is the ideal choice for 
ventilating spaces containing flammable or explosive vapors, 
gases, or dusts as defined under Article 500 of the National 
Electrical Code (NEC). Direct drive exhaust fans can be 
mounted in vertical or horizontal positions. 
Performance spans the range between 604 to 6,317 cfm 
(1026 to 10,733 m

3

/hr) with static pressures up to .5 in. wg 

(125 Pa). Fan sizes range from 12 to 24 inches (305 to 610 
mm). Regardless of fan size or performance all Greenheck 
sidewall propeller fans are built to perform with the same high 
standards of reliability and durability. 

Only qualified personnel should install this fan. 
Personnel should have a clear understanding of these 
instructions and should be aware of general safety 
precautions. Improper installation can result in electric 
shock, possible injury due to coming in contact with 
moving parts, as well as other potential hazards. Other 
considerations may be required if high winds or seismic 
activity are present. If more information is needed, 
contact a licensed professional engineer before moving 
forward.

WARNING

Always disconnect, lock and tag power source before 
installing or servicing. Failure to disconnect power 
source can result in fire, shock or serious injury.

CAUTION

When servicing the fan, motor may be hot enough 
to cause pain or injury. Allow motor to cool before 
servicing.

CAUTION

Precaution should be taken in explosive atmospheres.

AVERTISSEMENT

Pour écarter les risques d’incendie, de choc électrique 
ou de blessure grave, veiller à toujours débrancher, 
verrouiller et étiqueter la source de courant avant 
l’installation ou l’entretien.

ATTENTION

Lors de toute intervention sur la soufflante, le moteur 
peut être suffisamment chaud pour provoquer une 
douleur voire une blessure. Laisser le moteur refroidir 
avant toute maintenance.

ATTENTION

Faire preuve de précaution dans les atmosphères 
explosives.

  1.  Follow all local electrical and safety codes, as 

well as the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the 
National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA), where 
applicable. 

  2.  The rotation of the propeller is critical. It must 

be free to rotate without striking or rubbing any 
stationary objects.

  3.  Motor must be securely and adequately grounded.
  4.  Do not spin fan propeller faster than max cataloged 

fan RPM. Adjustments to fan speed significantly 
effects motor load. If the fan RPM is changed, the 
motor current should be checked to make sure it is 
not exceeding the motor nameplate amps.

  5.  Verify that the power source is compatible with the 

equipment.

  6.  Never open access doors to a duct while the fan is 

running.
