Downblast Exhaust Ventilator
The Dayton 7AX66 is a centrifugal downblast exhaust ventilator built for standard-duty roof mounting. It serves commercial or industrial facilities that need to move large volumes of air through a 30-1/2 inch wheel diameter unit. The assembly arrives unassembled with a drive package and includes a NEMA 1 junction box for electrical connections. A roof curb is required for new installations.
Sustained airflow performance
At zero static pressure the unit delivers 9719 CFM, dropping to 7952 CFM when operating against 0.500-In. SP. The 1-1/2 HP single-phase motor runs on 115/230 volt, 60 Hz power to maintain these flow rates during continuous operation. This performance profile suits applications where steady exhaust capacity matters more than peak burst figures.
Acoustic and thermal profile
The ventilator produces 14.9 sones measured at 0.250-In. SP from five feet away, indicating moderate noise levels for rooftop equipment. Maximum inlet temperature is rated at 180 degrees Fahrenheit, allowing it to handle warm exhaust streams without thermal overload. The 40 by 40 inch base provides a stable footprint on the roof curb.

Questions about this item
How loud is the 14.9 sone rating when the 30-1/2 inch wheel runs continuously?
At 14.9 sones measured at 0.250-In. SP and five feet, the unit produces a noticeable but moderate sound level typical for a 1-1/2 HP centrifugal ventilator operating all day.
What electrical supply and roof curb are needed before installing the 7AX66?
The motor requires a 115/230 V, 60 Hz, single-phase circuit and a NEMA 1 junction box is included; a roof curb must be purchased separately for new installations.
Will the 40 by 40 inch base fit the existing curb on my older roof penetration?
The ventilator’s base width and length are both 40 inches, so it matches any curb with the same outside dimensions; verify your current curb measures 40 x 40 before mounting.
