CONSTRUCTION FEATURES
Models FN and FQ direct drive propeller fans are offered for commercial and industrial applications having
low noise and high pressure requirements.
FQ FANS
These fans are designed to operate more quietly than
conventional propeller fans and are recommended for
ventilating applications desiring less fan noise. FQ fans are
available in 10 sizes, 9" through 36" with a maximum capacity
of 17,800 CFM.
Fan panels are constructed of steel and range from 18 to 16
gauge.
Aluminum blade thickness is from .050 to .125.
ADVANCED PROPELLER DESIGN
These propellers feature an advanced teardrop shape blade
designed for exceptionally low noise level performance.
Aluminum blades are fastened to a formed steel hub with
heavy duty oversize rivets. Propeller is precision balanced for
smooth operation.
FN FANS
FN fans are designed to operate up to 1" static pressure with
capacities to 22,400 CFM. Available in 9 sizes, 14" through
48”, these heavy duty fans are designed for industrial type
applications where extra strength and durability are desired.
Fan panels are constructed of steel and range from 18 to 14
gauge.
Aluminum blade thickness is from .080” to .125”.
The swept-back teardrop blade shape with its aerodynamic
leading edge propels the air through the streamlined orifice
with a minimum of air turbulence.
FQ not available with steel propeller.
HIGH PRESSURE PROPELLERS
For increased pressure requirements, FN propellers,
depending on size and horsepower, have four or six tapered
circular-arc airfoil blades. Standard construction is all welded
heavy duty aluminum that is precision balanced.
Non-overloading design prevents motor overload when
operated within cataloged static pressure ranges. Optional
steel prop is available for all FN fans, except size 48".
LICENSED RATINGS FOR SOUND AND AIR
Acme Engineering & Manufacturing Corp. certifies that the FQ and FN Propeller Fans shown herein are licensed to bear the
AMCA Seal. The ratings shown are based on tests and procedures performed in accordance with AMCA Publication 211 and
AMCA Publication 311 and comply with the requirements of the AMCA Certified Ratings Program.
The sound ratings shown are loudness values in fan sones at 5 feet in a hemispherical free field calculated per AMCA Standard
301. Values shown are for installation Type A: Free Inlet fan sone levels.
Most Acme FQ and FN fans are listed by the Canadian Standards Association Testing Laboratory as approved.

CONSTRUCTION FEATURES
FAN PANEL - Construction of heavy
gauge steel. Wide flange on all four
sides provides extra strength and rigidity
to reduce the possibility of vibration and
for a more secure installation. Standard
finish is acrylic epoxy.
FQ09 AND 10
FQ12 THRU 18
EXHAUST MODELS FQ09 and 10
utilize the rugged motor side wire guard
as the motor support means thereby
making this guard standard equipment.
Front (propeller side) guard is optional.
FQ09 and FQ10 are not available in
reverse flow (supply).
STREAMLINED ORIFICE - Die formed
for uniformity, the deep streamlined
orifice provides for high efficiency airflow
throughout the propeller.
FN14 THRU 18
FQ21 THRU 36
EXHAUST MODELS FQ12 to 36 have
the motor mounted on an all welded
steel plate and formed pipe frame
assembly for extra strength and rigidity.
Front and back guards are optional on
these sizes. FQ1210 and FQ129 are
not available in reverse flow (supply).
EASY TO INSTALL - Prepunched holes
in flange saves on installation time and
cost.
MOUNT IN ANY POSITION - All motors
are equipped with all-angle thrust ball
bearings.
FN21 THRU 48
EXHAUST MODELS FN14 to 48 have
the motor mounted on an all welded
steel plate and formed pipe frame
assembly for extra strength and rigidity.
Front and back guards are optional on
all sizes.
Supply fans are available in all models
except FQ09, 10, 1210 and 129. The
airflow capacity is the same as for
exhaust type fans as shown on page 4.
REVERSE FLOW (SUPPLY) FANS
Only circular basket type guards are
available with these fans.
When supply type fans are used with
motorized wall dampers, it is
recommended to use WAGC and
RESERVE MOTOR POWER - Fans are
designed with conservative motor
loadings and efficient motor cooling to
obtain longer motor life under
continuous duty operation.
All motors are totally enclosed type with
lubricated sealed ball bearings. All
single phase motors have automatic
resetting thermal overloads for low
voltage protection.
Models FQ09, 10, 1210 & 129 use two
speed tapped winding, single phase,
shaded pole type ball bearing motors
only.
WAGCH center pivot dampers. A
time delay is recommended in the fan
motor’s starter control circuit to
allow the damper to fully open before
the fan is activated.
All other models have split phase,
capacitor start, capacitor run, or
permanent split capacitor single phase
motors. Some are available in two
speed types.
Explosion resistant and three phase
single speed motors are also available
for some models. Consult your Acme
Representative for more details plus
availability of motors.
Single phase motors are resilient
mounted in circular neoprene vibration
isolators integral with the motor base.

Performance shown is for Installation Type A: Free Inlet, Free Outlet.
The sound ratings shown are loudness values in fan sones at 5 ft
(1.5m) in a hemispherical free field calculated per AMCA Standard
301. Values shown are for Installation Type A: Free Inlet fan sone
levels.
Performance ratings do not include the effects of appurtenances in
the airstream; FQ12 through FQ48. Performance ratings include the
effect of a back guard (motor side) on models FQ09 and FQ10.
Model numbers shown are for Exhaust Fans with standard direction
of airflow (motor on intake side of propeller). For Supply Fans with
direction of airflow reversed (motor on discharge side of propeller)
add letter “R” to the model number; example: FN-R14.
Reverse flow (supply) not available for models FQ09, 10, 1210, and
129.
The brake horsepower (BHP) capability of a fan motor is dependent on the
degree of cooling the motor receives from the moving airstream over the
motor. The motor loading beyond the motor nameplate rating on Acme
built fans does not overheat the motor and is within NEMA recommended
limits. It is therefore not detrimental to the motor and is economically
desirable.

Aluminum and galvanized components
remain unpainted as a standard finish,
but when required, are processed
through the finishing system to apply
decorative or special coatings. A high
turbulence oven is used to produce a
baked on finish for most special
coatings. Decorative coatings are not
baked on.
DECORATIVE COATINGS
Acme offers 16 popular colors for
decorative finishes utilizing an industrial
grade enamel applied to the exterior of
fan. Special colors are available upon
request. See your Acme Representative
for complete color selections.
SQUARE TYPE
(SIZE 21 THRU 48)
Extruded aluminum frame guards Model
BA for back (motor side) and Model FA
for front (propeller side) are available for
fan sizes 21 through 48. Constructed of
½” x 1” mesh heavy gauge welded
galvanized wire and are open on all
sides for maximum airflow. Guards are
shipped knocked down, easily
assembled with connecting clips which
bolt to fan frame and are easily removed
for servicing the fan.
The openings for these guards comply
with OSHA standards.
Optional guards are also available for
reverse flow (supply type) fans from
sizes 12 through 48.
SPECIAL COATINGS
Products receiving special coatings have
components painted before assembly.
Fasteners are not painted.
• ACRYLIC EPOXY
This product provides a more durable
surface.
• CARBOLINE SANITILE
(Eisenheiss)
This air dry synthetic polyester forms a
black coating that offers greater
resistance to most organic and inorganic
acids.
CAUTION! Guards must be installed
when a fan is within reach of personnel or
within seven (7) feet of working level or
when deemed advisable for safety.
• HERESITE (Air Dry)
A phenolic coating with greater
resistance to most organic and inorganic
acids.
• INSULMASTIC
A black asphalt based mastic that
provides some condensation control,
sound deadening and corrosion
resistance.
NOTE: For any coating selected the user
assumes the responsibility for the
corrosive agent, its concentration,
temperature, moisture content and the
ultimate effect on the coating and
equipment.

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
DAMPER (Model WAG or WAGC)
Constructed of rigid galvanized steel frame with double tie
rods on the blades. Blades are industrial grade aluminum
reinforced with steel rods. Nylon bearings are used to
resist corrosion and prevent damper sticking making for
quieter operation.
HEAVY DUTY DAMPER
(Model WAGH or WAGCH)
Heavy duty dampers are recommended when the air
velocity exceeds 1500 FPM and up to 2500 FPM. Heavy
duty dampers are similar in construction to standard duty
dampers except each blade has a formed reinforcement
member providing extra strength and rigidity.
CENTER PIVOT
DAMPER
(Model WAGC or
WAGCH)
When a supply type
fan is used, a
motorized center
pivot type damper,
model WAGC-MT or
WAGCH-MT should
be substituted for the
WAG or WAGH. For
2 HP units and
larger, it is
recommended that a
time delay switch be
utilized. For center
pivot damper add “C”
to damper model
number.

SOLID STATE SPEED
CONTROLLER Solid
state controllers are
available for selected
fans equipped with 115
volt, 60 Hz single
phase shaded pole and
smaller size permanent
split capacitor motors.
They provide a variable
speed control with
fewer parts to wear out
and eliminate the need for 2-speed
motors. Easily installed in a standard
wall box, they require a simple 2-wire
connection, but are equipped with a
third wire that maintains a constant
voltage to the damper motor in the
event a motorized wall damper is used
with the fan. Contact your Acme
Representative for 50 Hz requirements.
