Is this fan a three speed and if it is, can it be wired direct so that a switch with three settings will operate it at different speeds? Thanks for yohelp.

Yes to both. I put a junction box on the wall behind the fan with a solid cover plate with a hot wire within. cut the plug off the cord and ran the wire within the wall to boxWorks just fine as a pull cord on fan controles the 3 speeds.

n.darwin is correct. The fan has a rotating speed switch that has three speeds on each side of the rotating switch and two off positions that can be turned by hand or by a pull cord .

Hi there, I think that it is no revers switch on the fan,if you wil revers the fan you must change the wiring.This fan is not make for reversible.This is wat I think.

While it is recommended that you use the included switch these fan can be wired manually according to the manufacture instructions.Thanks,-PasuTech

No it does not. I ordered a three speed fan switch extra which costs $18.00 but works great and is easy to install. I have two fans in my room thyat work together and this switch controls both.

We hard wired it. You can very easily wire an extension into the electrical box on the fan and have it so you can plug it in. The speed control is built in. However we did put a (cool) thermostat with the system so when the room with the thermostat gets above the set temperature (Say 70 Degrees F) that it will automatically turn on and pull warm air into the room that is cooler. Hope this helps if not please leave another question.

The fan is 3 speeds in both directions. I have to admit, though, that I never use the "intake" settings.

Three speeds and also you can adjust the nozzle of the fan either up or down so it helps with air flow. I keep it on high to really get the full benefit. It is loud but I like noisy fans.

Yes, that's what we did. We had an electrician put in a special plate that has a three-speed setting for the fan and a switch for the light. Works great!!! Just didn't want one more remote to keep track of in the house. Really like this fan. Tom

My husband bought this fan to use on our 4-wheeler to keep it cool while he was using it in the woods. However, he didn't put it on a switch so he doesn't know if it has variable speeds. He is very happy with the fan as it worked for his intended purpose. Sorry we couldn't be of more help.

No. You get to choose from among 3 distinct speeds. The only drawback to that is that even the slowest speed might push too much air to suit your needs. However, if you want a fan that really "blows" (in the positive sense of the word), this is IT!

Definitely three speeds. A handy man installed ours and the fastest speed was a little noisy. I tried to do a quick repair but when I tested it just now the noise is back. I cannot remember what I did exactly but I know that I did not think it was a problem with the light and fan itself.

The fan speed/direction is set using the remote and the speed/direction remains set each time you turn on the fan unless you change it using the remote. I don't see why it would make any difference if you use a 3-way switch or a single pole switch.

It's a fan controller, gives you 3 different speeds to all fans connected to that switch. I believe you can connect up to 8 fans to it.

Some fans you can buy a regular fan speed three way switch. You can buy those at Lowes or Home Depot. It is a ceiling fan three way replacement switch. Some brands of fans you cannot. But hopefully in your case you can get a replacement switch. They are not hard to change. In most cases it is only two wires, a black and white wire. Hope you have success in your project, and have an awesome day.

This fan is three speed. I wrote to Lasko and here is what they said:CFM- 3160/LOW 3320/MED 3460/HIGHJust to reiterate what I and a lot of other reviewers have said: This fan puts out a ton of air and is pretty loud, especially on high. Construction is very solid. If you want to move a lot of air and you are okay with the noise it's hard to see how you could do much better.

I love this fan. It has to be hard wired, which is not a problem, but you have to get the control switch they recommend. It is variable speed but you can`t turn it down more than halfway. I have in my wood shop which is 24` x 17` and it vents it quickly. I recommend this quiet fan.

I returned that fan as soon as I got it. It wasn't what I expected at all. Sorry, I know nothing about the switch. It was a long time ago, but if I recall, it was most likely an electronic switch. It was not the best quality fan, somewhat bigger and not very powerful, if I am remembering correctly.
