Tpi CE16DS Direct Drive Exhaust Fan 1/8 Hp 16 Inch

Product Description

The TPI CE16DS is a totally enclosed, direct drive exhaust fan built for commercial and industrial ventilation applications. Powered by a 1/8 HP motor running on 120 volts single phase, it moves up to 2,100 CFM on high speed, 1,900 CFM on medium, and 1,700 CFM on low, giving installers precise airflow control across three speeds. The 16-inch blade and totally enclosed motor housing make it well suited for environments where motor protection from dust, moisture, and airborne contaminants is a priority. Electricians and HVAC technicians are the primary trades that specify and install this unit.

The CE16DS fits into a rough opening of 19.125 inches height by 19.125 inches width, making it a practical choice for wall or ceiling exhaust applications in warehouses, workshops, garages, commercial kitchens, and light industrial facilities. The three-speed operation allows the unit to be matched to varying ventilation loads without additional controls in basic installations. Single-phase 120-volt power keeps the electrical requirements straightforward for most existing circuits in residential and light commercial settings.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed electrician or HVAC technician in accordance with NEC requirements for ventilation equipment. Disconnect and lock out all power to the circuit before beginning installation or any wiring work. Verify that the rough opening dimensions and structural support are adequate for the unit weight of 18 pounds before securing the fan housing. Follow local building and mechanical codes for exhaust fan placement, discharge clearances, and backdraft damper requirements.
