Model VB upblast fan

Model VB Upblast Exhaust Fans are intended for the general ventilation of factories and warehouses. These fans can also be placed to provide spot ventilation in specific problem areas.  Whether it’s exhaust hot air, or moving stagnant air, standard-duty roof-mounted Model VB fans can help improve your building’s ventilation.

Upblast roof fans come outfitted with dampers that open automatically when the fan is started. The high velocity exhaust airstream holds the dampers open preventing the entrance of rain or snow. When the motor power is cut, the dampers close to provide a complete weather seal. A rain runoff trough is located below the damper shafts to provide drainage to the outside resulting in weather-tight construction.

The Model VB is a belt-drive fan. For the similar direct-drive model see the Model V.
