MOUNTING OVERVIEW
CAUTION: It is your responsibility to comply with all local and national codes and regulations regarding
mounting procedures!
Before mounting the fan, ensure you have the proper mounting equipment for your mounting location. Depending
on your airflow needs and your building structure, the Yellow Jacket can be mounted using one of the following
methods:
• Portable Base. The portable base allows Yellow Jacket mobility around a workspace to create airflow where it
is needed most. Up to two pedestals can be installed to heighten the range of airflow.
• Wall/Column. Yellow Jacket can be mounted to a wall or column using the Wall/Column Mount. The column can
be one of a variety of shapes, e.g., round, flanged, square.
• I-Beam. Yellow Jacket can be mounted to an I-beam using the Yoke Mount. Note: If the distance between the
I-beam and obstructions less than 65” (165 cm), the I-Beam Mount must be used. Contact Customer Service for
details.
• Bar Joists. Yellow Jacket can be mounted to bar joists using the Yoke Mount.
• Metal or Wood Superstructure. Yellow Jacket can be hung from a building structure using chains or cables of
rated strength to support the weight of the fan.
• Concrete. Yellow Jacket can be hung from a concrete structure using the Yoke Washer Assembly Kit and
installer-supplied hardware.
Note: Consult a structural engineer to determine the required mounting hardware when mounting to a wall,
column, metal or wood superstructure, or a concrete ceiling. The hardware must be of sucient strength to safely
support the fan. Big Ass Fans cannot provide specific installation details for these applications because of the
wide range of mounting surfaces, conditions, and fastening methods.
If hanging the fan using the Wall/Column Mount, the brackets must be positioned and mounted as shown below.
Do not mount the fan in any other position or orientation without consulting a structural engineer.
