Product Overview
Enhance air circulation and climate control with the Vent-Bettina 42 Inch Rotational Ceiling Fan, engineered for superior airflow and quiet operation. This fan features a thoughtfully designed structure with gently upward curving arms and three blades, optimized for both aesthetics and performance. The motor fan heads pivot within a 180-degree arc, allowing precise directional airflow adjustment, which improves axial rotation speed and efficiency.
Technical Specifications
The fan measures 42 inches in width and 13 inches in height, with a blade pitch set at 31 degrees to maximize air movement. It delivers an airflow of 1,346 cubic feet per minute (CFM) at low speed and up to 2,077 CFM at high speed. Constructed from durable cast aluminum, heavy spun, and stamped steel, the fan ensures long-lasting stability and performance. The unique motor mounts and fan head knobs are crafted from genuine marbleized Bakelite, adding to its durability and design integrity.
Installation and Customization
The Vent-Bettina fan is designed for stem hanging with a standard 10-inch downrod included; optional downrods of 20", 30", 48", or 72" are available and can be easily field cut to fit various ceiling heights. It comes with a flat ceiling canopy compatible with a 29-degree vaulted ceiling canopy for flexible installation. The fan includes a white Decora-style 3-speed wall switch for convenient speed control. Safety cages are available for low ceiling installations (minimum 7 ft ceiling height in the US, 8.2 ft in Canada).
Airflow Efficiency and Operation
Matthews-Gerbar’s rotational fan technology circulates heat and air conditioning more efficiently than traditional paddle fans by using controlled axial rotation. The fan heads do not oscillate on their own but can be manually pivoted to adjust airflow direction. The angle of the motor relative to the horizontal support rods influences the rotation speed, allowing for a slow, smooth axial rotation when combined with blade speed adjustments.
Durability and Application
Designed for damp locations with powder or clear coat finishes, this fan is not recommended for saltwater or oceanfront environments. The fan blades are available in three options: metal blades with decorative metal guards, solid Brazilian mahogany blades harvested ecologically without guards, or metal blades with safety cages for low ceilings, providing versatility for different aesthetic and functional needs.
