BEFORE YOU BEGIN
FAN PLACEMENT
Fan Placement
ALWAYS mount fan so the bottom edge of blade to the floor is at least 10 feet from the floor and at
least 25% of fan diameter from the ceiling.
Always mount fans away from the following:
Sprinkler Systems
Prior to installing fans, review all codes applicable to sprinkler systems and fans to ensure code compliance and refer
to NFPA 13: Fire Sprinkler System Installation. In any installation where fire sprinklers are present, the fan should not
interfere with their operation.
o Fans should be located at least 3 feet below a sprinkler deflector.
o Fans should be centered between 4 adjacent sprinklers.
o The Industrial Control Panel should be connected to a fire relay system, which can stop the fans in the event a fire
occurs.
It is your responsibility that the installation complies with the applicable codes. For assistance, please call our Technical
Department at 1-844-593-FANS (3267).
Walkways and Mezzanines
If the building has elevated walkways or mezzanines, mount the fans so that a person cannot reach the rotating blades in
any way. Position fans so that the tips of the blades are at least 5 feet away from any area where a person may be able to
extend outward to reach them.
Lights and Skylights
If possible, avoid mounting fans directly below lights or skylights to avoid any strobe effect caused by moving blades.
There should be a minimum of 2 feet between the blades and any light fixture.
Air Discharge Locations
Fans should not be located directly beneath any air discharge. This includes air conditioning units and evaporative coolers.
Such equipment can be used effectively in conjunction with high-volume low-speed (HVLS) fans, but the discharge must
be located 2x the diameter from the swept area of the fan.
Windy Locations
Do not operate or install fans in outdoors or in areas exposed to wind. Failure to follow this instruction can result in death,
serious injury, or equipment damage.
Wet Locations
DO NOT locate fans where they may come into direct contact with water. These fans are suitable for mounting in damp
locations.
Other HVLS fans.
See the chart below to determine proper spacing between adjacent fans.
