Product Identity
The Dayton 18 inch Commercial Direct Drive Exhaust Fan is built for businesses and contractors who need to move large volumes of air through ductwork. Its direct-drive design eliminates belts and pulleys, reducing maintenance in commercial kitchens, warehouses and industrial spaces.
Airflow Capacity
At zero static pressure the fan delivers 498 cfm through an 18 1/2 inch duct connection. This single figure determines whether the unit can meet the ventilation requirements of your specific installation.
Sustained Operation
The direct-drive motor runs continuously at the rated 115/230V without the belt wear or tension loss that degrades belt-driven units over time. Noise remains at a steady 19.7 sones during extended use, providing predictable acoustic conditions for the workspace.

Questions about this item
What does the 498 cfm rating mean when the fan is installed?
The fan moves 498 cubic feet of air per minute at zero static pressure, so actual airflow will drop once ductwork, grilles or filters add resistance.
How does the 115/230 V dual-voltage design affect installation?
The motor can be wired for either 115 V or 230 V single-phase supply, letting you match the circuit available on site without changing the fan.
What size opening and duct are needed for the 18-inch blade unit?
The blade diameter is 18 in and the duct connection is 18 1/2 in, so a rough opening and round duct of at least that diameter are required.
