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
- 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. - 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. - 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. - 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. - Integrated wall box
Each VID model ships with a factory-installed wall box. Simplified installation helps you get up and running quickly. - Rolled inlet venturi
A rolled inlet venturi finished in durable polyester powder coat boosts airflow efficiency while standing up to harsh industrial conditions. - 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.
