Models VCFI-3 and VCFI-6 are the ideal choice for providing year-round comfort in air circulation and destratification 
applications. Featuring an aerodynamic, extruded aluminum airfoil design and a high efficiency direct drive motor, 
model VCFI delivers maximum airflow at a fraction of the operating cost of other HVLS fans. And, with its universal 
ceiling mount, the VCFI fan is the easiest HVLS fan to install in the market!

IMPORTANT: 

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, 

or injury to persons, Model VCFI fans must be installed 
with a mount assembly, motor assembly and airfoils that 
are marked (on their cartons) to indicate suitability with 
this model. Other mounts, motors, and airfoils cannot 
be substituted.
