12-Inch Blade Guard

This Dayton fan guard fits blades up to 12 in diameter and is built from 20 ga galvanised steel. The assembly measures 16 1/4 in wide by 14 in deep by 16 1/4 in high. It includes an intake guard and four side panels that meet OSHA standards. The open construction allows airflow while shielding the rotating blades from accidental contact.

Replaces Damaged Or Missing Guards

The unit serves as a direct replacement when an original guard is bent, corroded or lost during maintenance. Upgrading to the galvanised finish is worthwhile in humid or outdoor locations where plain steel would rust. It is not suited for blowers that exceed the 12 in blade specification or for installations that require a solid enclosure rather than mesh panels.

Sustained Operation In Harsh Environments

Galvanised coating resists corrosion during continuous duty in damp or high-temperature settings. The rigid 20 ga panels retain their shape under vibration and thermal cycling without warping. OSHA-compliant spacing remains consistent over time, so the guard continues to prevent finger access throughout the fan's service life.

Questions about this item

What blade diameter does the 16 1/4 in galvanised steel guard fit?

The guard is designed for a 12 in blade diameter and measures 16 1/4 in overall width and height.

How do I mount the four side panels and intake guard, and what step is often missed?

Bolt the four side panels and intake guard to the fan housing using the pre-drilled flanges; the step often missed is tightening all fasteners evenly so the 20 ga steel does not warp.

When will the galvanised finish need attention in a high-temperature environment?

The galvanised coating on the 20 ga steel resists corrosion; inspect annually and touch up any scratched areas to maintain protection.
