I-BEAM AND TRUSS MOUNTING
I-BEAM MOUNTING
If the fan is being mounted to a building
support I-beam (6-13½ inches (152-343 mm)
wide) the fan can be mounted directly to the
beam with the brackets provided. Clamp the
brackets around the beam as shown using the
holes in the upper beam mounting bracket that
are closest to the edge of the beam. See
figure below. For beams that are larger than
the bracket, (greater than 13½ inches (343
mm) wide) clamp the bracket on one edge of
the beam and drill holes through the beam to
bolt the other side securely. Use only grade 8
hardware.
Use a level to ensure the extension tube is
hanging vertical.
CEILING TRUSS MOUNTING
(STRUCTURAL ANGLES)
Never mount the fan to only one building
joist.
One joist will not provide the rigidity and
support necessary for the fan during operation.
When using a support channel to span (2)
building joists you must use material that will
securely support the fan. We recommend
using (2) pieces of 3" x 3" x .25" (76 mm x 76
mm x 7mm) angle. These angles should be
mounted in a way such that the fan can be
hung using the standard I-beam mounting
bracket. See the figure below. The angles
should be securely mounted to the building
joists to ensure the angles cannot move. Use
a level to ensure the extension tube is hanging
vertical.
