GF-14 Garage Fan Cooling And Ventilation System
The GF-14 refreshes the garage with clean outside air while lowering temperatures in the garage and attic. This has been the #1 selling garage fan for the last 5 years! Effectively Cools A 2-3 Car Garage.
The fan has been upgraded and
now has a 1/3 HP motor. The housing and ceiling box are now built as one
unit, with heavier gauge metal. The cross bar seats the motor better, and
neoprene washers are used between the motor and cross bar to help make it even
quieter.
The GF-14 Garage Fan and Attic Cooler is designed to mount in the ceiling of the
garage, venting to the attic. Properly-sized intake vents are mounted in the
garage door taking in outside ambient air. The GF-14 moves 1350 cubic feet per
minute, enough air to pressurize a typical attic relative to the house forcing
the superheated attic air out the attic vents, which may include gable vents,
ridge vents, dormer vents, whirly vents, etc.
An adjustable thermostat allows homeowners to decide when the GF-14 should activate for their particular climate or season.
In compliance with local building codes,
garages have 5/8 inch fire-rated drywall and a self-closing fire-rated entry
door. The GF-14 has a fire damper that automatically closes in the event of a
garage fire keeping the flames out of the attic. And the self lubricating,
continuous duty fan motor stops so it doesn't feed a garage fire with air.
The GF-14 Will Require 1.8 square feet net free of intake/exhaust ventilation.
The GF-14 includes fan kit, grille, and two intake grills that should be mounted
to your garage door to allow outside air into the garage. We now also offer
different options of vents with insect screens and a through the wall kit, make
your selection from the Options pulldown by the Add to Cart Button.
