Key Features and Benefits of the Canarm 16-inch AX Series Direct Drive Shutter-Mounted Exhaust Fan

  • OSHA-Compliant Guards: Heavy wire, chrome-plated safety guard protects personnel.
  • Quiet for Its Class: Operating at a maximum of 69 dB, the fan balances high airflow with manageable noise levels for most commercial sites.
  • Multiple Speed Options: Choose a single-speed, two-speed, variable-speed, or single/variable speed model of this fan to match ventilation requirements in diverse applications.

Note: For variable speed operation, a variable speed controller is required.
