💨 12" Shutter Exhaust Fan – 1000 CFM High‑Speed Wall Mount Attic Fan
Is your garage a sauna in summer? Does your greenhouse trap stifling heat, or your workshop feel stuffy even with the door open? The 12" Shutter Exhaust Fan moves a massive 1000 cubic feet of air per minute – enough to completely refresh a typical two‑car garage every minute. Mount it on a wall, cut a hole, plug it in, and let the built‑in AC motor do the rest. The automatic shutters open when the fan runs and close when it’s off, keeping out dust, rain, and pests.
Built with a galvanized steel frame and aluminum alloy fan blades and shutters, this fan resists rust and weather – perfect for greenhouses, garages, sheds, attics, chicken coops, and workshops. It comes fully assembled; no wiring headaches. Just attach it to your wall using the included four bolts, and you’re ready to beat the heat. The thermally protected, permanently lubricated motor runs quietly and efficiently, using only 72 watts at 120V. Whether you need to cool a workshop in July, vent humidity from a greenhouse, or pull hot air out of an attic, this high‑performance exhaust fan is your solution.

❔ Frequently Asked Questions
Does this fan come with a power cord? Do I need to hardwire it?
The fan includes a standard 120V AC power cord with a plug – just plug it into any nearby outlet. No hardwiring needed. If you want to wire it to a switch, you can cut the plug and connect to a junction box, but most users just use the included cord.
How big of an opening do I need to cut?
The fan housing measures 16.93” square, but the required cutout for the louver frame is approximately 12.5” x 12.5”. The included manual provides exact dimensions. For most wood or siding walls, a reciprocating saw or jigsaw works fine.
Can I use this fan in a greenhouse? Will humidity damage it?
Yes, it’s perfect for greenhouses. The galvanized steel frame and aluminum shutters are highly resistant to humidity and moisture. The motor is sealed and thermally protected. Many customers use it to vent hot, humid air from greenhouses – it holds up great.
How noisy is this fan during operation?
At 1000 CFM, it’s not whisper‑quiet, but the noise level is comparable to a standard box fan on high – about 55–60 dB. You’ll hear airflow, but it’s not intrusive. The AC motor and balanced blades minimize rattling or vibration.
Can I use this fan as an attic fan? Will it fit between rafters?
Yes, it works great as an attic gable fan. The 16.93” square housing fits between standard 24” rafter spacing. Cut a hole in the gable end wall or install it in a ceiling – just ensure proper support and flashing against rain.
Does the fan come with a thermostat or speed control?
This model is a single‑speed, on/off fan. It does not include a built‑in thermostat. However, you can plug it into an external thermostatic outlet controller (sold separately) to automate it based on temperature.
Will the shutters close fully when the fan is off? Can rain get in?
Yes, the spring‑loaded aluminum shutters close tightly when the fan stops, creating a good seal against rain, snow, and dust. For extreme weather exposure (e.g., hurricane‑driven rain), we recommend adding a small awning or hood, but for normal conditions, the shutters keep water out.
💡 Installation tip: Mount the fan at least 12” above the floor or ground to avoid debris. For garages, place it opposite your main entry door to create cross‑ventilation. The included bolts are for wood studs – for masonry walls, use appropriate anchors.
💨 Beat the heat and clear the air – add this 1000 CFM wall exhaust fan to your cart and enjoy a cooler, fresher workspace.
