  1. Are the luvers operational and are they electric or opened by the air flow?

    1. I have one of these, they open by airflow and mine operates very smoothly

      Helpful?

    2. The shutters on this fan open and shut as a result of the air flowing through them.

      Helpful?

  2. Is this unit designed to exhaust HEAT/SMOKE

    Im planning on using this for my restaurant kitchen. Its about a 10x16 space. Sometimes the exhaust hood doesnt pull up all the smoke fast enough, and some smoke leaks out from under the hood and into the kitchen...will this fan placed on the wall blowing outside, will it be able to exhaust the excess smoke? Heat, it gets really hot in that kitchen. Is this fan designed to suck out the excess heat in the kitchen? Thank you

    1. I don't see any reason why it could not be used for that purpose. I used to work restaurants, so I know what you mean. There is no guard on this fan.

      Helpful?

    2. The fan does have 3 speeds. As long as the fan is turned on, it will help in exhausting the heat and smoke.

  3. Installation beteen 2x6 studs

    How would CE-16-DS be intalled in wall with 2"x6" studs? Would the shutter be mounted on exterior separated from the fan assembly mounted on interior?

    1 answer

    1. This TPI exhaust fan would require a 18 1/4 x 18 1/4 inch rough opening. For mounting to wood structures, use 1/4” lag screws of appropriate length through each mounting hole. The shutter can be installed from the inside wall, eliminating the need for external framing or shutters.

    1 answer

    1. This exhaust fan is to small for your particular application. For the building size that you listed you would need to purchase two of the fans that I will list below.

    Does the fan motor have any oil/grease maintenance spots?

    How are the shutters cleaned and oiled to keep them freely operating?

    1 answer

  9. Can it be used in a wall with studs at 16inch center

    Does this fan seperate like the 12inch and if so any problem with using it in a wall with studs at 16inch center. I realize there will be a small amount of blinding on either side of the fan but i can live with this for the extra cfm over a 12inch.

      Helpful?

  10. remote mount a speed controller

    if the fan is going to be mounted high up in a shop, can the 3 speed controller be mounted at hand level? or do you sell a seperate controller? i plan on hardwiring an o/off switch at switch height and would like to have a dial or speed conttroller instead of getting a long chain. is this possible?

    1 answer

    1. The 3 speed switch can be placed at arms level to control this unit.
