Frequently Asked Questions View all FAQs
How do you order the correct replacement parts?

Before ordering replacement parts, make sure you have the fan model and serial number.

Where can I find instructions to wire a motor on my fan?

The nameplate of the motor includes a wiring diagram. Wiring diagrams can also be found beneath the motor image in our Buy Parts section. Simply click the wiring diagram icon to view it.

Can I install a thermostat?

Yes, but only if the thermostat has a simple on/off operation. Please note: if the thermostat varies the amount of voltage delivered, it will damage the motor and void the warranty.

Can I install my whole house fan vertically?

Comfort Cooler (CC) series whole-house fans may be mounted vertically, however, the AS and CSS shutters will not function properly in the vertical position. We do not carry a ceiling shutter for vertical installation. Vertical installation instructions.

Triangle Engineering’s PFG Series belt-drive agricultural exhaust fans deliver reliable, high-volume ventilation in a tough, farm-ready package. Built for daily duty in barns, greenhouses, and crop storage, each unit features a heavy-gauge galvanized wall box, frame, and blade; a rolled inlet venturi for smoother airflow; TEAO motors for dusty/humid environments; rubber-isolated fan bearings to cut vibration; and our X-Wing automatic belt tensioner to help maintain performance and extend belt life.

Available in 36″, 42″, 48″, and 54″ diameters with 4-blade and 6-blade configurations, PFG belt-drive fans offer flexible power options (230V single-phase; 230/460V three-phase) and ship fully assembled and factory-tested for quick field installation. Many standard models are stocked for quick shipment from our Arkansas facility, and every unit is Made in the USA (with a mix of domestic and foreign components) and supported by readily available, in-stock replacement parts.

Backed by over 70 years of American manufacturing expertise, the PFG belt-drive series combines durability, serviceability, and dependable airflow, providing a practical agricultural exhaust solution for poultry, swine, dairy, greenhouses, and produce storage.

  • Heavy-gauge galvanized construction
    Corrosion-resistant wall box, frame, and blade stand up to moisture, ammonia, and daily washdowns—ideal for long service life in barns, greenhouses, and storage rooms.

  • Rolled inlet venturi
    Aerodynamic inlet reduces turbulence and pressure loss, promoting smoother, more efficient airflow through the fan opening.

  • Dual-side bird screens
    Galvanized welded screens on the intake and discharge help keep debris and pests out while protecting moving components.

  • Automatic belt management (X-Wing tensioner)
    Triangle Engineering’s X-Wing automatic belt tensioner maintains proper belt tension to prolong belt life, reduce slippage, and help the fan hold its performance over time.

  • Vibration-reducing bearings
    Rubber-isolated fan bearings minimize vibration and mechanical noise for smoother, quieter, and more dependable operation.

  • Ships fully assembled & tested
    Arrives ready for quick field installation—shorter install windows mean less downtime for your operation.

  • TEAO motors built for ag
    Totally Enclosed Air Over motors are designed for dusty/humid environments common to livestock and horticulture, supporting reliable, continuous duty.

  • Flexible power, simple retrofits
    Standard 230V single-phase (115V consult factory) and 230/460V three-phase options make upgrades and replacements straightforward across facilities.

  • Blade & size choices to match the job
    4-blade and 6-blade configurations in 36″, 42″, 48″, and 54″ let you balance airflow and pressure to your building design (typical rating points 0.00″–0.10″ w.g.).

  • Made in the USA + parts on hand
    Manufactured in the USA (with a mix of domestic and foreign components) and supported by readily available, in-stock replacement parts to keep you running.

Operating range

  • Static pressure selection: fans are rated at common agricultural SP points (e.g., 0.00″–0.10″ w.g.). Select per your building design SP and required CFM.

  • Ambient temperature: standard TE motors for typical ag environments; contact us for high-ambient or special-duty requirements.

Round out your PFG belt-drive install with purpose-built add-ons that improve control, protect against weather, and keep airflow consistent. Choose from shutters, rain hoods, and thermostats sized to match your fan.

Shutters and Dampers – Cut back-drafts and weather intrusion when fans are off. Rigid, ag-grade blades sized to each PFG diameter for clean, bolt-on installs.

Rain hoods – Shield the opening from rain and wind without choking airflow. Flanged, all-weather hoods sized by fan diameter for quick mounting.

Thermostats – Automatic, temperature-based staging for steady conditions and energy savings. Simple wiring for standard 230V single-phase (ask about 115V/3-phase).

PFG belt-drive agricultural exhaust fans are used across livestock and horticulture to remove heat, humidity, and contaminants, protecting animals, crops, and equipment while stabilizing indoor conditions.

Poultry houses (broiler, breeder, layer)

  • Sidewall or end-wall exhaust for cross or tunnel ventilation.

  • Moves heat and ammonia out fast to reduce heat stress and odor.

  • Pair with shutters and thermostats for staged, seasonal control.

Swine barns (farrowing, nursery, finishing)

  • Negative-pressure exhaust to pull fresh air through inlets.

  • Controls moisture and gases for healthier animals and drier floors.

  • Rugged galvanized build stands up to corrosive environments.

Dairy & beef (freestall, holding pens, parlors)
