DESCRIPTION
Featuring a galvanized steel housing Trade-Wind® In-Line Blowers are designed to be installed “in-line” with a Trade-Wind® or comparable wood hood liner. These fans are specifically designed to provide efficient, high-velocity air movement by combining the best elements of high-flow axial designs with the power of a centrifugal squirrel cage blower. Direct Drive motor construction eliminates the need for continuous belt alignment, tension adjustments and maintenance.
TYPICAL INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION ILLUSTRATION
INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
- (This applies to Illustration on the Left)
- Trade-Wind® In-Line Blower Mechanism (K), Duct Silencer (I),
- Damper (E) and two Fast Clamps (H) are placed on each side of the Duct Silencer (I). This picture illustrates the required progression but the orientation can /will vary. The In-Line

- WARNINGS: This must be followed carefully to avoid personal injury.
- IMPORTANT: This must be followed carefully to avoid damage and incorrect installation.
- TIPS: Contains helpful information to facilitate installation.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
- a) Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have any questions, please contact the manufacturer at the address or telephone number listed in the warranty.
- b) Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch the power off at the service panel, lock the service panel, and lock the service disconnection means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
- c) Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by a qualified person(s) under all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.
CAUTION : For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust
hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
CAUTION: This unit has an unguarded impeller. Do not use in locations
readily accessible to people or animals. WEAR HAND PROTECTION AND STAY CLEAR
OF SHARP EDGES. The compactness and adaptability of the model PSD blower
permit easy installation. The units are shipped fully assembled and can be
mounted at any angle. Because this unit has rotating parts, safety precautions
should be exercised during all phases of installation, operation and
maintenance. Remove the unit from the package and inspect it before
installation. If damaged, report damage to the carrier. DO NOT operate this
unit with visible damage to the blower or impeller assembly. Screen guards
must be installed when the blower is within reach of personnel, within (7)
feet of the working area, or when advisable for safety.
WARNING! DO NOT CONNECT POWER SUPPLY until the blower is completely installed. Make sure the electrical service to the blower is locked in the “OFF” position.
- a) Check the voltage at the blower to see if it corresponds to the motor nameplate. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by a qualified person(s) under all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.
- b) Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gasses through the flue (chimney) of fuel-burning equipment, (e.g., gas water heater, gas furnace) to prevent back drafting.
- c) Follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s guidelines and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and the local code authorities.
- d) When cutting or drilling into a wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities. Ducted blowers must always be vented to the outdoors.
- e) If this unit is to be installed over a tub or shower, it must be marked as appropriate for the application and be connected to a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) –protected branch circuit.
- f) NEVER place a switch where it can be reached from a tub or shower.
- g) All units are suitable for use with solid-state speed control.
WARNING! TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
- a) Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by a qualified person(s) under all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction codes and standards.
- b) Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gasses through the flue (chimney) of fuel-burning equipment to prevent back drafting.

- c) When cutting or drilling into a wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
- d) Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
PLANNING THE INSTALLATION
For the best and quietest performance, the In-Line Blower should be installed
in the attic, near or slightly beyond the mid-point of the duct system. In
installations requiring the blower be in a chase or wood-type hood over the
range (e.g., no attic above the kitchen), the duct silencer will not be as
effective in absorbing motor noise. In addition, there will likely be motor
sound transmitted through the walls of the chase, bypassing the duct silencer.
Given the high performance of Trade-Wind® In-Line Blowers, it is highly
recommended that the blower NOT be attached directly to the liner or in a
chase immediately above the liner unless a Trade-Wind® brand duct silencer is
installed between the blower and liner and neoprene lined FC Clamps* are used.
Trade-Wind® brand Professional Series ventilation systems can be installed in
an infinite variety of configurations. The In-Line Blower and Duct Silencer
can be installed at any angle.
CONNECTING THE BLOWER/VENTILATOR:
After properly aligning and supporting the blower, connect it to the duct.
Fasten in place by using sheet metal screws and tape or preferably FC Clamps.
Fast Clamps (FC Clamps) are the recommended connectors for connecting the
blower to the duct system. FC Clamps are easy to connect and work extremely
well as a vibration absorber and noise suppressor. They are made of steel and
are lined with a neoprene pad. If FC Clamps are used to connect the blower to
the duct, it is not as necessary to use them on the Duct Silencer for
vibration suppression. FC Clamps are available from Trade-Wind® through your
Trade-Wind® supplier.
CAUTION: DO NOT hang PSD model blowers/ventilators from the FC Clamp
hanging tabs. Instead, use the integral brackets bolted to the blower housing.
Hanger-type vibration isolators and suspension hardware (e.g., threaded rod,
slotted angle iron, hurricane strap) are not supplied with a blower. If the
blower is suspended with these items, it will absorb much of the motor’s minor
vibration.
For more information about vibration absorbers, visit the following internet sites:
- www.grainger.com (e.g., for WW Grainger Item 4C879) www.vibration-absorbers.com
FC Clamps are available from Trade-Wind® (Trade-Wind Manufacturing, LLC) through your Trade-Wind® supplier. Ask for model numbers FC6 (6”), FC8 (8”) or FC10 (10”), 2 per box.
SECURING THE BLOWER/VENTILATOR
MOUNTING ILLUSTRATION OPTION 1
Follow all applicable codes when installing this unit.
- Build and install wood supports to framing structure for blower mounting.
- Attach blower directly to wood supports.
The In-Line Blower’s mounting brackets are designed for flexible and easy installation at any angle—horizontal, vertical or diagonal.The brackets should be bolted directly to a 2” x 4” type wood framing structure (e.g., an attic truss) or suspended by threaded rod, slotted angle-iron or hurricane strap. The installation should be sufficient to support the blower’s weight.
MOUNTING ILLUSTRATION OPTION 2
Follow all applicable codes when installing this unit.
- Equipment should be hung in position with temporary fixtures that can be removed after vibration hangers* are installed.
- Optional vibration hanger* may be fastened directly to the structure or somewhere between the suspended unit. Be sure not to over-tighten the neoprene element. Install hangers.
- If a threaded rod is used, turn the nuts on the rod assembly clockwise one complete turn on each hanger. Repeat this procedure until the temporary hanging fixtures are loose and the blower is suspended completely on the vibration hangers.
- Remove temporary fixtures and level ducting and blower by taking additional turns on the spring / top hanger rod nut as required.
