FRD 16-8 Specification Sheet

Fantech FRD Series Fans
Description
A compact series of centrifugal type exhaust/supply fans specifically designed for installations where
space is limited. FRD Series fan housing design allows for installation directly within rectangular duct
work without the need for large elbows or transitional sections. The FRD Series fans feature a hinged
door to which the motor is mounted. This door simply “swings out” of the housing to provide service
access. Fans can be mounted in any angle at any point along the duct work. All fans utilize a non-
overloading backward inclined wheel. Motors are capable of operating in air stream temperatures of up
to 140
o
F. All fans are 100% speed controllable through a decrease in the voltage by using a solid state or
transformer type control. All FRD Series fans are backed by Fantech’s Three Year Warranty.
