18 in Medium Duty Direct Drive Exhaust Fan
The Dayton 18 in Medium Duty Direct Drive Exhaust Fan moves 2627 CFM at zero static pressure. It uses a direct drive motor with aluminum blades inside a galvanized steel frame. This ceiling fan suits workshops, garages or commercial spaces needing high-volume air removal.
Sustained airflow and noise output
At zero static pressure the unit delivers 2652 CFM while producing a maximum noise level of 15.5 sones. Direct drive construction eliminates belt wear so output remains steady during continuous operation. The zinc plated steel intake guard protects the blades without adding airflow restriction.
Installation checks before ordering
Verify the duct diameter matches the 18 1/2 in requirement for proper fit. Confirm the mounting structure can support the steel frame and guard assembly. Ensure the electrical supply matches the motor specification since no dehumidistat is included for automatic control.

Questions about this item
How loud is the 15.5 sone rating when the fan runs continuously?
At 15.5 sones the unit produces a noticeable but moderate sound level comparable to a busy restaurant, so it will be audible in an adjacent room during all-day operation.
What ductwork and mounting provisions are required for the 18 1/2 in duct diameter?
The fan needs an 18 1/2 in round duct connection and a ceiling or wall opening that matches the 18 in blade diameter; the galvanized steel frame bolts directly to the structure.
Will the 2627 cfm rating at 0.000 in SP still move enough air if I keep my existing duct runs?
The 2627 cfm figure is measured at zero static pressure; any duct length, elbows or filters will reduce actual airflow, so verify your system resistance before relying on the published number.
