source can result in fire, shock or serious injury.
DANGER
Pour écarter les risques d’incendie, de choc électrique
ou de blessure grave, veiller à toujours débrancher,
verrouiller et étiqueter la source de courant avant
l’installation ou l’entretien.
The following mounting installations are covered in this
manual. Identify the supplied mounting kit (page 14),
locate the appropriate installation within this manual.
• I-Beam Mounting Kit (page 17)
• Steel Truss Mounting Kit (page 18)
• Wood Beam Mounting Kit (page 19)

Mounting Kit (by others, page 21)
I-Beam Mounting Kit
(For Flanges up to 10 in. Wide)
IMPORTANT:
Structural Engineer of Record (SEOR)
must perform thorough evaluation of mounting structure
and determine final mounting requirements before fan
is installed. Manufacturer is not liable for any problems
that arise as the result of insufficient structure, including
(but not limited to) vibration, noise, or safety hazards.
Product warranty will be voided at manufacturer’s
discretion if structure is deemed insufficient.
Installations must comply with the following
requirements at a minimum, but SEOR may require
more stringent specifications at their discretion:
Do not install HVLS fans on fabricated I-beams.
HVLS fans should only be installed on I-beams that
are part of the existing building structure.
I-beam must have a minimum flange width of 5
inch and a minimum flange thickness of 1/2 inch.
Do not weld HVLS fans to I-beams.
Do not use I-beam mounting kit on any other type
of structure (steel trusses, steel angles, etc.).
Required Loose Components (Included):
• I-Beam Clamping Plate (2)
• I-Beam Clamping Plate Shim (2)
Required Components from Bag # 915428:
• 1/2 in. – 13 x 2-1/2 in. Grade 8 Hex Bolt (4)
• 1/2 in. – 13 Grade 8 Nylon Locknut (4)
• 1/2 in. Washer (8)
Hardware/Tools Needed (Not Included):
• Torque Wrench
• 3/4 in. Socket and Ratchet
• 3/4 in. Wrench
1. Using appropriate lifting equipment, raise the
downtube and mount assembly until the universal
mounting plate is positioned on the bottom of the
I-beam.
2. Using the universal mounting plate as a guide,
identify the appropriate set of mounting slots to
use for installation. The universal mounting plate
can accommodate I-beams with a flange width
up to 10 in., a flange thickness up to 1 in., and a
vertical web thickness up to 2-3/4 in.
3. Attach (1) I-beam clamping plate shim and (1)
I-beam clamping plate to the universal mounting
plate using (2) 1/2 in. – 13 x 2-1/2 in. grade 8 hex
bolts, (4) 1/2 in. washers, and (2) 1/2 in. – 13 grade
8 nylon locknuts. Hook the I-beam clamping plate
onto one side of the I-beam and tighten hardware
until the universal mounting plate is snug against
the beam but can still be moved (approximately
1/4 in. of the bolt threads exposed below the nylon
locknut).
IMPORTANT:
I-beam clamping plate shims and I-beam
clamping plates must be installed so that the laser-cut
arrows are pointing towards the I-beam. Ensure that
the narrowest possible set of mounting holes is used
on the universal mounting plate to ensure maximum
engagement with the I-beam.

4. Attach the opposing I-beam clamp plate shim and
I-beam clamp plate on to the universal mounting
plate and I-beam. Hand tighten hardware.
5. Center the universal mounting plate under the
I-beam. Ensure the I-beam clamp plates have
maximum engagement on both sides and tighten
hardware evenly to 45 ft∙lbf (61.0 N∙m).
