DBF 110 Specification Sheet

Fantech DBF110 Series Dryer Booster System
Description
A integral centrifugal fan and positive pressure sensing switch specically designed for residential dryer vent
booster applications. The fan can be mounted in any angle at any point along the duct work and straight-through
air ow design allows easy installation. By using FC type mounting clamps, fan can easily be removed from duct
work for service. Fan inlet and outlet are 3 7/8” diameter allowing direct installation into dryer vent duct thereby
eliminating the need for transition pieces. Motor bearings are a permanently sealed, self lubricating ball type.
DBF110 fan is backed by Fantech’s Five Year Warranty.
Installation Notes:
1) For maximum sensitivity, switch diaphragm must be mounted vertically. Failure to orient the
diaphragm vertically may result in improper operation.
2) Fan must be mounted a minimum of 15 linear (not equivalent) feet from the dryer in order to
prevent the impeller from loading with wet lint. If mounted within 15 feet, a secondary lint trap
(DBLT4) must be used. (see installation manual)
3) Fan should be inspected periodically, depending on amount of usage, and cleaned as necessary.
