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.

84” GBS8415-V

The Suspended Gentle Breeze (GBS Series) is the largest and most ruggedly built ceiling-mount fan in the Triangle Engineering lineup. Engineered as a true HVLS-Class (High Volume, Low Speed) air mover, this 84″ powerhouse delivers the massive, non-disruptive airflow of a large ceiling fan without the complex installation or high price tag.

Unlike our portable floor models, the Suspended Gentle Breeze hangs overhead, freeing up valuable floor space in crowded production lines, gymnasiums, and warehouses. From its elevated position, it projects a quiet, cooling column of air up to 150 feet, creating a more natural, top-down cooling effect that covers a massive footprint.

Proudly made in the USA, with a blend of domestic and foreign components, the GBS Series features a heavy-duty belt-drive system and a durable powder-coated frame. It ships fully assembled, meaning you don’t have to waste hours piecing together a kit on a lift. Just hang it, power it, and feel the breeze.

HVLS-Class Performance: By utilizing a massive 84″ blade spinning at a low 220 RPM, the GBS moves huge volumes of air without the noise or turbulence of high-velocity fans. It effectively destratifies heat in the winter and provides a cooling breeze in the summer.

Zero Footprint Cooling: In facilities where every square foot matters, like crowded assembly lines or athletic courts, floor fans get in the way. The GBS Series suspends securely from the ceiling or structural beams, delivering massive airflow with zero floor footprint.

Whisper-Quiet Operation: Generating only 60 dBA at 20 feet, this fan is engineered for environments where noise is a concern. It is the perfect solution for churches, gymnasiums, and event centers where you need powerful cooling without drowning out voices or announcements.

Massive 150-Foot Throw: Don’t let the name “Gentle” fool you. This 84″ fan pushes a consistent column of air that remains effective at 150 feet away. It doesn’t just circulate air; it drives it across the entire length of a building.

Plug-and-Play Installation: We make installation simple. Each single-phase unit comes equipped with a 20-foot grounded three-conductor cord with a molded plug, so you can get up and running immediately without complex wiring hurdles.

Variable Speed Options: The GBS Series is available in Standard (Single Speed) or Speed Controlled (SC) models. The SC models give you the flexibility to dial down the airflow for winter stratification or dial it up for maximum summer cooling.

Year-Round Destratification In facilities with high ceilings, heat naturally rises and becomes trapped at the roof level, leaving the floor cold. The GBS Series combats this “stratification” by pushing that wasted warm air back down to the working level. This equalizes the temperature from floor to ceiling, which can significantly reduce heating costs during colder months.

HVLS Performance, Simplified Traditional HVLS ceiling fans are expensive, heavy, and difficult to install, often requiring complex guy wires, VFD programming, and certified installers. The GBS Series gives you that same “High Volume, Low Speed” airflow in a pre-assembled, drum-style package that installs like a standard industrial fan. You get the comfort and quiet of an HVLS fan with the rugged simplicity of a Triangle fan.

Energy Savings Through Destratification The GBS isn’t just for summer cooling. In the winter, you can use the optional speed control to run the fan at a lower setting. This gently forces the hot air trapped at the ceiling down to the floor without creating a draft. By “recycling” this heat, you reduce the load on your HVAC system and cut energy bills, making the GBS a year-round asset for your facility.

A Power Option for Every Facility Whether you are outfitting an older warehouse with limited power access or a modern industrial plant with high-voltage infrastructure, the GBS Series has you covered. We offer standard single-phase and three-phase motors alongside specialty voltage options to ensure seamless integration into your building’s electrical system.

The “Conversation Quiet” Advantage Most industrial fans are loud. The Gentle Breeze is designed differently. By using a large 84″ blade spinning at a low 220 RPM, we move a massive volume of air with almost no mechanical noise. It is the only industrial fan powerful enough for a factory but quiet enough for a library.

Industrial Durability, Made in the USA While many “high volume” fans are fragile or plastic, the GBS Series is built with a steel frame and barrel with woven wire guards. Fabricated and assembled in our Arkansas facility with domestic and foreign components, it is designed to survive decades of use in tough environments.

Safety First With OSHA-compliant guards and a ceiling-mounted design, the Gentle Breeze eliminates the risk of fingers or loose clothing contacting the blade. It also removes cords and fan bases from the walking path to improve facility safety .

The Suspended Gentle Breeze (GBS) is the ultimate problem solver for large spaces where noise is a nuisance and floor space is at a premium.

  • Gymnasiums & Indoor Sports Complexes: The GBS is a favorite for athletic facilities because it operates quietly (~60 dBA), allowing coaches to shout instructions and referees to blow whistles without competing against fan noise. Its suspended design also removes tripping hazards from the court or sideline.

  • Manufacturing Assembly Lines: In crowded production environments, floor space is valuable. By mounting the fan overhead, you clear the aisles for forklifts and personnel while delivering a cooling breeze that covers the entire length of the line.

  • Warehousing & Distribution: With an effective throw of up to 150 feet, a single GBS unit can drive air down long racking aisles, equalizing temperatures and preventing stagnant heat pockets without the cost of multiple smaller fans.

  • Churches & Auditoriums: Places of worship require cooling that is felt but not heard. The GBS delivers massive air movement that won’t distract from the service or interfere with sound systems.

  • Work Areas & Loading Docks: Keeps staff cool in active work zones where high-velocity floor fans would be dangerous or obstructive to machinery movement.
