AXC In-Line Duct Fans

Description

AXC in-line duct fans are the ideal air movers for residential, commercial, and light industrial ventilation applications.  The quiet and efficient backward-curved impeller is capable of developing significant pressure. Above all, the in-line configuration simplifies installation, saving time and money!

The unique motor design, combined with high-quality materials and workmanship, results in a truly versatile fan. Additionally, AXC fans incorporate a heavy-gauge, drawn steel housing with baked epoxy finish. They are available in sizes from 4″ to 12″, with airflows ranging from 147 cfm to 970 cfm.

AXC fans are capable of moving airflow through long or complex duct runs. As a result, they provide an ideal solution for areas that are difficult to heat or cool.

Applications

With AXC in-line duct fans, there are many air moving applications.  The most common uses are bathroom exhaust, range hood exhaust and duct boosting.

Bathroom Exhaust
For the strongest and quietest bathroom fan available, choose an AXC in-line duct fan.  With one fan, the AXC allows the exhaust of multiple vents or bathrooms.  They are user friendly, easy to install, and can be located directly over a shower. To simply a bathroom installation, consider one of our easy-to-install kits.

Range Hood Exhaust
AXC in-line duct fans can be used as a principle exhaust fan or as a booster fan to improve the efficiency of an existing residential range hood.  These fans can be variable speed controlled by using an independent speed controller or by tying into an existing range hood controller.  The heavy gauge housing, with epoxy coating inside and out, provides a rugged fan with superior corrosion protection.

Duct Boosting
Many homes and office buildings have at least one area that presents a problem for heating or cooling. AXC in-line duct fans are designed to boost airflow through long or complex duct runs, resulting in better air comfort in the “problem” areas.

Helpful Tips

• Use insulated duct in unheated spaces.
• Control air volume with a variable speed control.
• Sound levels in a duct fan installation decrease as the distance of the fan from the intake grille increases. Five feet is usually adequate.
• Rigid duct tends to echo fan noise. To reduce sound levels, use flexible insulated duct.
• One 4″ fan will boost air up to 90 linear feet of duct.
• Always consult local building codes prior to selecting products and materials.
