WHERE TO INSTALL YOUR FAN
Before beginning installation, check that the building structure and fan location meet Big Ass Solutions’ safety
guidelines by confirming the below requirements.
☐ Fans mounted on fabricated I-beams, which are common in steel buildings, could cause the beam to flex and
the fan to move significantly during operation. If this flexing causes a clearance problem, we suggest contacting
a structural engineer.
☐ The fan must be installed so that it is plumb to the ground.
☐ All fan parts must be ≥2 ft (61 cm) from all obstructions. The fan installation area must be free of obstructions
such as lights, cables, sprinklers, or other building structure components.
☐ The fan must be installed so that it is ≥10 ft (3 m) above the finished floor.
Clearance guidelines
If a fan application does not meet these requirements, contact Customer Service to discuss alternative installations
or other fan options.
General clearance
☐ Multiple fans must be spaced at a center-to-center distance that is no less than 2.5x the fan diameter.
☐ The fan must be installed so that it is ≥10 ft (3 m) above the finished floor.
Ceiling clearance
☐ The fan must be installed at least 5 ft (1.5 m) from the ceiling.
