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.

VID Series Industrial Wall-Mounted Direct Drive Exhaust Fans

The Go-To Industrial Exhaust Fan for Maintenance-Friendly Ventilation

Building on our legacy of durable, high-performance ventilation systems, Triangle Engineering’s VID Series exhaust fans offer a direct drive design for reliable, low-maintenance airflow in wall-mounted applications. By drawing out heated or stale air, these fans help stabilize interior temperatures and reduce airborne contaminants—ideal for demanding industrial settings where downtime and maintenance costs must be kept to a minimum.


Key Features & Benefits

  1. Direct drive operation
    The VID Series uses a direct drive system, eliminating belts and pulleys. This reduces maintenance needs, lowers downtime, and provides a more compact profile.
  2. Robust wall-mounted design
    Engineered to mount on an exterior wall, these exhaust fans pull interior air out of your facility. The result is a negative pressure environment that improves air quality and controls heat.
  3. Maintenance-Friendly Construction
    With no belts or tensioners to service, direct drive motors simplify upkeep and reduce the likelihood of mechanical failures. This design also means fewer parts to stock or replace.
  4. Flexible motor & voltage options
    These fans are available in 1/2 hp or 1 hp, totally enclosed (TE) motors, with single-phase (115V or 230V) or three-phase (230V/460V). Single-phase models come standard with a cord and molded plug for quick and easy connection. Choose the power configuration that meets your facility requirements.
  5. Integrated wall box
    Each VID model ships with a factory-installed wall box. Simplified installation helps you get up and running quickly.
  6. Rolled inlet venturi
    A rolled inlet venturi finished in durable polyester powder coat boosts airflow efficiency while standing up to harsh industrial conditions.
  7. Ships fully assembled & tested
    Every fan leaves our factory fully assembled and rigorously tested, saving you on-site labor and ensuring you can put it to work immediately.

  • Guards
    Enclose moving parts to protect both operators and equipment.
  • Shutters/Dampers
    Offered in standard sizes or custom increments. They regulate airflow, minimize backdraft, and maintain consistent building pressure.
  • Temperature Control (Optional)
    Available on single-phase models up to 1 hp. This integrated control automatically turns the fan on or off based on a user-defined temperature setpoint, ensuring efficient operation and a comfortable work environment.

Ideal Use Cases

  • Manufacturing & Industrial Plants: Remove fumes, dust, and heat with minimal maintenance demands.
  • Warehouses & Storage Facilities: Prevent hot, stagnant air while reducing upkeep compared to belt-driven fans.
  • Food & Beverage Processing: Manage odor, humidity, and steam for safer working conditions.
  • Automotive & Aerospace Workshops: Extract contaminants and moderate facility temperatures.
  • Commercial Buildings & Retail: Vent out stale air to keep indoor environments fresh for customers and employees.

Why VID Series?

  1. Lower Maintenance Costs
    The direct drive design means fewer moving parts and reduced wear, so your fans run smoothly with minimal service.
  2. Improved Air Quality
    By drawing out heated or contaminated air, the VID Series helps create negative pressure that improves overall ventilation.
  3. Easy Install
    Easily mounted on an exterior wall using the integrated wall box, this design simplifies installation and reduces install time.
  4. Flexible Power & Control Options
    Choose single-phase or three-phase power to match site requirements. Opt for temperature control to automate fan operation based on your desired environment.
