PennBarry Z8H Fan
The PennBarry Z8H Zephyr Ceiling Exhaust Fan is a high-performance centrifugal exhaust fan engineered for demanding commercial and residential environments. Delivering a powerful 385 CFM airflow capacity, this direct drive unit is specifically designed to handle mid-to-large scale ventilation requirements, such as commercial restrooms, offices, and utility areas. The Z8H belongs to the "H" series, meaning it is factory-wired for high-speed operation (nominal 1550 RPM) to effectively sustain airflow even as static pressure increases up to 1.0" w.g., making it an ideal choice for inline ducting or ceiling-mounted applications.
Constructed with a rugged galvanized steel housing, the interior is lined with acoustical insulation to dampen mechanical noise. The Z8H utilizes a custom-matched dual inlet blower and a motor mounted on vibration isolators, ensuring exceptionally quiet operation for its output level. The thermally protected motor is permanently lubricated and includes a plug-in disconnect for simplified maintenance. Field-flexible by design, this model features an integral chatter-proof backdraft damper and can be field-converted for top discharge or right-angle discharge to accommodate tight mechanical footprints.
Key Benefits for Contractors:- High-Static Performance: Engineered for higher RPMs to overcome resistance in complex duct runs.
- EasyTap Speed Selection: Features a dual-speed motor (1050/1550 RPM) allowing for on-the-spot airflow adjustments via a simple wire tap change.
- Quiet Centrifugal Operation: Vibration-isolated motor and insulated cabinet minimize sone levels in sound-sensitive spaces.
- Durable Construction: Corrosion-resistant fasteners and a 20-gauge galvanized housing ensure long-term structural integrity.
- Simplified Installation: Quick-access wiring terminal box and adjustable mounting flanges facilitate rapid mounting between joists or in suspended ceilings.
Can this fan be used in high-moisture areas?
Yes, the Z8H is UL 507 listed, making it suitable for use over bathtubs and showers when connected to a GFCI-protected branch circuit.
Is the discharge orientation adjustable?
The unit comes standard with a right-angle discharge but is easily field-convertible to a top discharge or inline (TDA) configuration as needed for your specific duct layout.
What is the standard grille finish?
This model typically ships with a white, impact-resistant polymeric egg-crate style grille that features an 85% free area for maximum air transition.
