RIWS Series Supply / Intake Shutters
Industrial-Strength Supply Air Control for Reliable Ventilation
Triangle Engineering’s RIWS Series supply shutters provide industrial-grade intake control for wall- or fan-mounted ventilation systems. Designed and manufactured in the USA, these shutters feature a welded galvanized steel frame, extruded aluminum blades, and bronze pivot bushings for smooth, low-maintenance operation. A bronze-finish polyester powder coated frame enhances corrosion resistance, making the RIWS line a long-lasting solution for factories, warehouses, barns, and other demanding applications.
Available in single- and double-panel models from 27 3/8″ to 68 1/4″ square, the RIWS Series is engineered to provide efficient supply air while minimizing unwanted drafts or leakage. Tie bar linkage ensures blades open and close uniformly, while optional manual pull chain or electric operators (115/230V 1-phase) make integration simple. For proper operation, the shutter must be fully opened prior to energizing any fan.
With over 70 years of American manufacturing expertise behind it, the RIWS Series delivers proven intake performance that supports balanced ventilation, helps maintain internal pressure, and improves overall air quality across a wide range of industrial and agricultural facilities.
-
- Durability & Corrosion Resistance: A welded galvanized steel frame with a bronze finish and polyester powder coating stands up to harsh conditions, making these supply shutters ideal for industrial and commercial settings.
-
- Smooth, Low-Maintenance Operation: Bronze pivot bushings keep the shutter blades moving freely without routine lubrication or frequent adjustments.
-
- Optimized Airflow Management: The 6063 extruded aluminum blades are specially designed to allow efficient intake flow while minimizing reverse drafts.
-
- Flexible Configuration: Choose from single or double panel models, and enjoy simple wall or fan mounting options to fit virtually any ventilation setup.
-
- Proven Performance: Over 70 years of engineering expertise backs these shutters, giving you peace of mind with every installation.
-
- Uniform Blade Operation: Every shutter comes with a tie bar linkage to ensure consistent, simultaneous blade movement, preventing partial openings.
-
- Manufacturing & Industrial Facilities: Provide fresh air and maintain proper internal pressure in production plants and workshops.
-
- Agricultural Buildings: Ideal for barns, livestock housing, and greenhouses, where controlling incoming airflow and humidity is crucial.
-
- Warehouses & Storage Facilities: Maintain stable internal environments and help regulate temperature by allowing fresh air intake.
-
- Workshops & Garages: Draw in outside air to replace fumes or stale interior air, promoting a safer, more comfortable environment.
