Would this fan be suitable for a dusty barn?
Many fans are not intended for dusty or working barns. Ours has livestock in it.

gentry· 8 years ago
The fan is direct drive, the electrical access panel is sealed, so I don't think dust will be a factor.

Are the shutters waterproof? If a driving rain hits them will it leak around louvre and into the housing?
1 answer-
ProductExpert11· 2 years ago
The shutters are not sealed. They are designed to keep the water out. To prevent water from coming in, it is best to purchase a weather hood model number VFT140860 separately. Northern Tool no longer carries the part. To order part number MSVFT140860, please contact our sister company Jacks Small engine at the link following link. https://jackssmallengines.com/
