Global Industrial 246343 Confined Space Blower Fan 2100 Cfm

Product Description

The GLOBAL INDUSTRIAL 246343 is a two-speed confined space blower fan designed to ventilate and cool manholes, tanks, crawl spaces, and similar restricted-access work areas. Rated at 2100 CFM with a 3/5 HP motor, it moves a substantial volume of air through tight spaces where fixed ventilation is not available. The fan features a durable steel housing with a yellow powder-coated finish, and powder-coated steel blade guards enclose the housing for worker safety. At 27 pounds, it is portable enough for a single technician to carry to a job site using the integrated easy-carry handle. The unit is rated for ambient operating temperatures between 32 and 104 degrees F.

This blower is suited for industrial maintenance, municipal utility work, and general contracting applications that require temporary forced-air ventilation. Typical use cases include manhole entry, underground vault access, confined tank inspections, and crawl space work where air quality or heat buildup is a concern. The two-speed motor gives the operator control over airflow rate depending on the volume of the space and the ventilation requirement. It is commonly deployed by safety crews following confined space entry protocols.

Key Features

• 2100 CFM airflow rating for effective confined space ventilation
• Two-speed motor at 3/5 HP for adjustable airflow output
• 12-inch fan designed for portability in tight job site conditions
• Durable steel housing with yellow powder-coated finish for visibility and corrosion resistance
• Powder-coated steel blade guards enclose the housing for operator safety
• Includes 10-foot power cord for immediate deployment without an extension in most setups

Compatibility

Designed as a portable ventilation solution for confined space entry applications including manholes, storage tanks, vaults, and crawl spaces where temporary forced-air ventilation is required.

Installation Notes

Setup and operation of this blower in confined space applications should follow applicable OSHA confined space entry regulations and site-specific safety plans. Power down and disconnect the unit before repositioning the fan or performing any inspection of the blade guard or housing. Ensure the power cord and any extension cord used are rated for the amperage draw of the motor and are kept clear of standing water or sharp edges on the job site. This unit is intended for use by qualified safety personnel or tradespeople trained in confined space ventilation procedures.
