This 36" wall-mounted exhaust fan moves 12,280 CFM to clear stale air, fumes, and heat from warehouses, shops, and production floors.
The PolarCool 36" Exhaust Fan is built for continuous-duty ventilation in warehouses, manufacturing plants, workshops, and paint shops. Its belt-drive motor and galvanized steel slant housing are designed for wall-mounted installation where high air volume and corrosion resistance matter. Note: If you would like to review the manufacturer Product Specifications, Warranty, Brochure, etc., please refer to the "Resources (System Manuals and Warranty)" Tab above on this page.
System Components
- 1/2 HP, 1-phase motor, belt-drive system, 1725 RPM
- Galvanized steel slant housing (corrosion-resistant)
- Discharge cone and guard included for airflow direction and personnel safety
- Dual-voltage motor: 115/230V
Installation Requirements & Accessories
- Electrical: 115/230V, 1-phase, 5.5/2.7 amps (per voltage tap)
- Intake opening: 39.5" x 39.6" — confirm rough-in matches this footprint before ordering
- Discharge diameter: 36.9"; housing depth 32.5" (top) / 24" (bottom)
- Aluminum shutter (SKU 6611-9022) recommended for backdraft prevention and weather protection — sold separately, NOT included
- VFD controller is NOT included with this unit
- Mounting hardware beyond the housing itself is not specified — verify wall structure compatibility before installation
- Not a portable or ceiling-mounted unit — this is a wall-mounted, stand-alone exhaust fan
Pro-Installer Tip
Wall-mounted exhaust fans of this size place real torque and vibration load on the mounting wall, especially at startup and shutdown of the belt-drive motor. Confirm the wall section can support the housing's static and dynamic load before cutting the rough opening — an undersized structural member will telegraph vibration through the building and loosen fasteners over time. Have a qualified electrician verify voltage tap wiring (115V vs 230V) against a Megger or continuity test before energizing the motor, and terminate the circuit through a properly rated disconnect per NEC requirements. Skipping the disconnect step is a common reason for failed electrical inspections on retrofits.
Key Benefits
- 12,280 CFM handles large-volume air exchange in single-story commercial and industrial spaces
- Belt-drive design lowers maintenance load compared to direct-drive motors
- Galvanized steel housing resists corrosion in humid or chemically active environments
- Dual voltage (115/230V) gives flexibility across different facility electrical setups
- Discharge cone and guard included for safer, more directed airflow

Compatibility & Fitment
- Stand-alone unit — compatible with standard wall-mount rough openings matching 39.5" x 39.6" intake dimensions
- Pairs with aluminum shutter SKU 6611-9022 for backdraft/weather protection (sold separately, not included in this listing)
- Not compatible with residential-only low-amperage circuits without electrician verification — confirm panel capacity for 5.5A/2.7A draw
- VFD controller NOT included — add separately if variable-speed control is required
- Mounting hardware for the wall opening is NOT specified as included — verify before installation
FAQ
Does this fan run on single-phase or three-phase power?
This fan runs on single-phase power, dual voltage 115/230V.
Is a variable frequency drive (VFD) included?
No. A VFD controller is not included with this unit.
What size opening do I need to install this fan?
The intake area is 39.5" x 39.6" with a discharge diameter of 36.9". Housing depth is 32.5" at the top and 24" at the bottom.
Do I need to buy anything else for weather protection?
Yes — the aluminum shutter (SKU 6611-9022) is recommended to prevent backdrafts and keep out rain, snow, and pests, but it is sold separately and not included with this fan.
