Installation and selection

This fan circulates air within a space; it does not replace an exhaust ventilation system. Confirm supply voltage, wiring configuration, mounting requirements, and clearances before installation. The manufacturer’s VK12 specification sheet states that the guard spacing is not OSHA compliant and specifies mounting above seven feet. Follow the current manufacturer instructions and applicable installation requirements.

Specifications are drawn from the supplied VK12 manufacturer sheet dated May 2014. Actual airflow depends on installation and operating conditions.
