Is the fan/blower explosion proof?

I certainly wouldn't risk it. The motor is not sealed, meaning, the brushes will be contacting the commutator which would generate sparks.

You need to call them. What I can say is it works real good for dust control and the filter can be clean and the replacement cost around twenty five dollars for the inner and outer filters.

I do not know if it is explosion proof but I do know that the motor is not encased like an explosion proof motor. Keep in mind that this is for particles only and not gases. There are two filters and they do a good job. I recently cut some melamine material which has a fine dust. It kept the air clear.

It is a regular blower in function, but way better temps and noise. But yes, expulses hot air out of the case. Great cooler and powerful and cheap card.

I've owned 2 of these fans for a while now. They're in our horse barn blowing 24/7 (Florida) over our horses. Unlike so many plastic home depot fans, these fans move a lot air. They're also bullet proof. Well built. I'd buy them again. For you gym, it's hard for me to say. Hope this is some help.

No it is not. There are two latches on the back, you undo those, it comes apart and you have access to the fans. I would be careful undoing the latches though because they are fragile.

My handyman installed it so I can't say with 100% certainty, but I don't think so. I am pretty old fan was powered on and off by the pull from the fan. I love the fan, very pretty and super quiet on speeds 1 and 2. Speed 3 sounds like a tornado it's moving the air so fast. Four hands are needed for some of the install.

I wouldn't count on it lasting through a house fire or someone with a blow torch. I've never tested it myself and I don't think the manufacturer claims that it is fire proof.

No. The fan is in the side of the container and draws air from the outside in and should not be blocked when working. To my knowledge, it is not waterproof.

As an electrician of 20+ years I would definitely say NO. Explosion proof devices have sealed and rated switches and motors. This little rig moves a fair amount of air, but alas I wouldn't recommend it for a paint booth. Also, (as in the other reply) it would need a fresh air intake. This fan draws air in from both sides and pushes it out the front.

That would not be a good idea, as the fumes could be explosive, and could ignite going through this fan.

I don't believe so. I think it's an extension of the rotating motor, so when its on the fan is on.

I've not had a problem...as others have said, be certain that fan has area free for air flow.

I've been very happy with this fan. It move's a good volume of air and the stationery oscillation feature is a really nice feature. The highest setting is very strong and works well for my livingroom. I'm not sure what you are describing as a blower type of fan, I'm guessing its stationery and is on the floor as opposed to a stand fan? Overall this is a good choice if you need to circulate the air in a whole room. It's easy to put together and is very sturdy. Hope this helps.

Yes...there are 3 settings...air from outside, exhaust the inside air outside and 1 going inside while the other fan blows out.

Any electronic fan could theoretically be a fire hazard. But no, it's very difficult to even imagine how this device could start a fire. My husband has used it every night for three years.

No, I am sorry I do not. As I have had my fan for no more than 4-5 months, it is still functioning without issue. Best of luck to you!
