LIFTING INFORMATION
DUCT INSTALLATION
Fans should be hoisted with slings placed around the fan housing. When a single hoist is used, a “spreader” will keep the sling from
slipping on the housing. If it is necessary to use hooks placed in lifting holes of fan, BE CAREFUL NOT TO DISTORT OR BEND THE
HOUSING. Lifting lugs or holes should be used only to stabilize the unit while using a sling to support the weight. Chain or wire
slings should be well-padded where they contact the fan, especially where special coatings and paints are involved. Rubber, phenolic
enamels, etc. require special care as they may easily be damaged by contact in lifting. Even a small chip will destroy the corrosion
prevention seal of the coating and allow corrosion to start. Always repair scratched surfaces with touch up of like coating prior to
installation.
Slip-fit duct connections are available at both the inlet and outlet connections. Fan may be installed directly onto the ducting by
slipping over the connecting duct. Some applications may require the use of flanged connections or flexible duct connections, both
of which are accessories offered by PennBarry. For vertical applications, a flanged connection type is preferable.
