The main body parts (the black parts) of the Vari-Fan are made from injection molded ABS plastic insuring a lightweight, very durable fan that will stand up to a variety of environments from extreme heat and cold and high humidity to very dry. The Vari-Fan will not corrode, dent, or show minor scratches.
The 3- speed reversible motor draws 1.2 amps at high speed, .75 amp at medium speed and .5 amp at low speed. This fan is designed for surface mounting on a flat ceiling. An 8" swivel pendant mount for pitched ceilings is available as an option. They are available for 24 volt DC operation. CSA/UL approved.

In a close-mount installation the Vari-Fan blades are approximately 10 inches from the ceiling; when mounted with the accompanying down rod the Vari-Fan blades are approximately 14 inches from the ceiling.
The Vari-Fan comes with the complete hardware to mount the the fans close to the ceiling or on a down rod. The fan includes 5 blades, but the customer can install it with four or five blades since it is drilled and tapped to take both configurations. The main body parts come in black only, but the fan is very easy to paint and comes with instructions on how to paint it. The Vari-Fan main body parts are made from injection molded, glass filled ABS plastic, while the blade arms are cast metal with a shiny brass plated finish, and the blades are wood with a light oak finish on one side, and a dark oak finish on the other.
