The goal of this diagram is to determine the proper extension length to maintain a minimum blade clearance of 15% of the fan’s
diameter. The extension lengths above are minimum recommendations only, based solely on roof pitch and fan diameter. Other factors
must be evaluated when determining extension requirements. In addition, OSHA requirements state that the fan blades must be a
minimum of 10 feet (3.05 meters) above the floor. Contact our technical department for assistance with fan placement and extension
selection (technical support contact information can be found on page 39).

Rigid Mount
Optional Rigid
Mount Extension,
1 FT - 2 FT
RIGID MOUNT & COMPONENTS
The rigid mount is used when extensions 2 feet or shorter are sufficient or when
no extension is required for an application. No guy wires are required for use
with a rigid mount. Under no circumstance should a rigid mount be used with
more than 2 feet of extension.

FAN LEVELING
Rotate mount as illustrated until fan unit is level. Once the fan unit is level, torque all bolts to 70 Ft-Lbs.

UNIVERSAL MOUNT & COMPONENTS
NOTE: The Universal Mount is only provided and only needed when
custom extensions (longer than 2 feet in length) are required in an
application. This mount utilizes four (4) guy wire cables with turnbuckles
to level and stabilize the fan. Note the direction of the exension in
regards to the location of the guy wire attachment points. They should be
no more than 2 feet from the fan.

SPAN MOUNTING (top view)
Truss
Unistrut
• Two (2) pieces of 1-5/8’’ x 1-5/8’’ 12 Gauge Unistrut need to span the trusses approximately 14’’ apart from each other.
• The two shorter pieces of 1-5/8’’ x 1-5/8’’ 12 Gauge Unistrut need to be mounted at 90 degrees and spaced approximately 10’’ apart
from each other.
• Mount the fan unit in the most desirable position between the trusses. 1/2’’ bolts and 1/2’’ Unistrut nuts are required. Unistrut clamps
are not permitted in this mounting method.
• Attach the fan unit to the bottom of the rigid mount, followed by the blades and safety retainer links.

TRUSS/I-BEAM MOUNTING
Truss
• Attach rigid mount to the bottom of the truss or I-beam with the provided rigid mount clamps.
• If mounting to a truss, span two opposing trusses as illustrated with two (2) pieces of 1-5/8’’ x 1-5/8’’ 12 Gauge Unistrut to the
opposing trusses with 1/2’’ bolts and 1/2’’ Unistrut nuts. Unistrut clamps are not permitted.
• Attach the fan unit to the bottom of the rigid mount.

GLULAM MOUNTING
Glulam Brackets
Rigid Mount
A Minimum of Four
(4) Through Bolts are
Required (do NOT use
screws)
• Attach the glulam brackets to the top of the rigid mount at a width that is wide enough
to accomodate the glulam (the glulam brackets are adjustable as shown in the
illustration to the left).
• Recommended hardware are 1/2’’ grade 5 bolts, long enough to go through the entire
beam with nylon lock nuts (do NOT use screws or lag bolts).

Rev. Date 022014 © 2014 MacroAir Technologies Toll Free: 866 668 3247 Fax: [phone] www.macroairfans.com 17
• Attach the glulam brackets to the glulam and attach
the top of the fan unit to the bottom of the rigid
mount with the given hardware.
• The highest bolt hole should not be below the beam’s
center line.
