Air King 16 Inch Wall Mount Fan Moves 1,510 CFM on 87 Watts
This is the commercial-grade 9016 pattern: a 16-inch three-speed fan on a wall bracket. High gives 1,510 CFM at 1,411 RPM, drawing 0.80A and 87W. Low drops to 1,190 CFM and 57W. The motor is a 1/20 HP permanent split capacitor unit, permanently lubricated, so there is nothing to oil. A chemical-resistant polypropylene blade turns behind a powder-coated steel front grill.
Mounting an Oscillating Wall Fan Above the Canopy Line
Getting the fan off the floor is the whole point in a full room. Bolted above canopy height it sweeps 90 degrees across the tops of plants and leaves the aisles clear. Lock the oscillation off and it becomes a fixed stream aimed at a dead corner instead. Two controls run it: a front rotary switch and a pull cord, which matters when the fan is mounted out of easy reach. Noise is the honest limit here. At 51 dBA on high this is a workshop fan, not a quiet tent fan, and most growers run it on medium or low. The cord is six feet, so plan the outlet before drilling.
Key Features
- 1,510 / 1,380 / 1,190 CFM: Three real steps of output rather than a token high and low.
- 87W on High: Draws 0.80A at full, so it shares a 15A circuit with other room gear.
- 90-Degree Oscillation: Sweeps the canopy, or locks in a fixed position for one problem corner.
- 1/20 HP PSC Motor: Permanently lubricated and built for continuous commercial duty.
- Dual Controls: Front rotary switch plus a pull cord for when it is mounted out of reach.
- Polypropylene Blade: Chemical resistant, which matters in rooms that get sprayed.
- Powder-Coated Steel Grill: Steel front, impact-resistant plastic rear, wipes down between cycles.
