Fan Clearances
A. Clearance from solid roof surfaces or solid trusses:
i. 8, 12 & 16ft fans = 4ft
ii. 20 & 24ft fans = 5ft
Open trusses do not need to be considered for air flow restriction.
B. Diameter of fan from tip to tip.
C. Fan diameter minus 4' (nominal). Blades must be a
minimum of 10' from the deck.
D. Should be equal to the diameter of the fan from tip to
tip.
E. Should have at least 18" of clearance from obstructions.
F. Should not be less than 2 feet with any fan diameter.
G. The best practice is to keep blade tips 20' from any
heat source or exhaust fan whenever possible.
H. Per NFPA fans must be centered between (4) sprinkler
heads if the location is equipped with sprinklers.
