Upblast Ventilators | McMaster-Carr

Measured in decibels (dB), volume ratings indicate how much noise equipment makes. Some common volume levels include a whisper @ 20 dB, a refrigerator @ 40 dB, a conversation @ 60 dB, and a light machine shop @ 90 dB. OSHA recommends hearing protection for exposure to 80 dB and greater.

Direct-Drive Upblast Roof-Mount Exhaust Fans

Direct-drive fans have fewer moving parts than belt-drive fans for less maintenance. These exhaust fans draw stagnant and humid air out through your roof and then expel it up and away from the roof surface. All fans have a disconnect switch to turn off the power for servicing.

Fans with a brushless motor have advanced electronic controls that allow them to precisely operate at wide range of speeds, making them more efficient, quieter, and longer lasting than fans with a standard motor.

Fans that cannot be sold to the listed areas are restricted by energy efficiency requirements.

Note: Airflow depends on the resistance created by ductwork. This resistance, known as static pressure (SP), is measured in inches of water.

Hazardous Location Upblast Roof-Mount Exhaust Fans

With a UL-listed motor, these fans can be used in hazardous environments with combustible gases and dust to draw stagnant and humid air out through your roof, forcing it up and away from its surface.

Direct-drive fans have fewer moving parts than belt-drive fans for less maintenance.

Belt-drive fans are quieter and last longer than direct-drive fans because their components can be replaced if they’re worn or damaged.
