iLiving 12" Wall-Mounted Shutter Exhaust Fan — Silver, 960 CFM, Thermostat & Variable Speed

The iLIVING 12" Wall Mounted Shutter Exhaust Fan (ILG8SF12V-ST) is a heavy-duty, thermostat-controlled ventilation unit that delivers up to 960 CFM with automatic shutters and adjustable speed for commercial and large residential spaces.

This wall-mounted shutter exhaust fan combines a corrosion-resistant galvanized steel housing with aluminum blades, an enclosed permanently-lubricated motor, and an integrated Thermospeed controller so you can manage temperature and airflow precisely. Designed for quick installation and continuous operation, it removes heat, humidity and odors from garages, greenhouses, warehouses, barns, and commercial kitchens while the shutters open and close automatically with the fan.

How much area can this fan ventilate effectively?

The fan moves up to 960 cubic feet per minute, suitable for ventilating large rooms or open commercial spaces. The manufacturer estimates effective coverage for spaces up to about 1,400 square feet depending on ceiling height and layout; multiple units can be staged for larger or compartmentalized areas.

• Airflow: 960 CFM for aggressive exchange of stale air
• Coverage: up to 1,400 sq ft under typical conditions
• Fan diameter: 12-inch blade sweep for deep-pitch air movement
• Suitable for single large rooms or several adjacent smaller spaces

What controls and temperature features does it include?

This model includes the Thermospeed controller for variable speed and temperature-triggered operation. You can set a desired activation temperature (range: 32–130°F) so the fan cycles on and off automatically, or fine-tune fan speed manually for quieter or more forceful ventilation.

• Thermostat range: 32–130°F for auto on/off cycling
• Variable speed control for matching airflow to demand
• Manual override possible for continuous operation
• Controller included and pre-wired for straightforward setup

Is it built to withstand commercial or agricultural environments?

Yes — the ILG8SF12V-ST is designed with industrial durability in mind: a galvanized steel frame, aluminum shutters and blades, and OSHA-compliant guards protect the unit while resisting corrosion. The motor is totally enclosed, thermally protected, and permanently lubricated for low-maintenance, long-term use.

• Housing: galvanized steel resists corrosion in humid or dusty conditions
• Shutters and blades: lightweight aluminum for durability and efficient airflow
• Motor: enclosed, thermally protected, permanently lubricated
• Safety: OSHA-compliant wire guards and UL/cUL listing

How easy is installation and ongoing maintenance?

The fan ships fully assembled so electrical hardwiring and mounting are typically the only steps before use. Routine maintenance is minimal — inspect guards and shutters, clean blades as needed, and verify controller and wiring are secure; the enclosed motor eliminates frequent lubrication tasks.

• Comes fully assembled; only electrical wiring and wall mounting required
• Low maintenance with permanently-lubricated motor
• Accessible shutter and guard for occasional cleaning
• Local customer support available for installation or troubleshooting

Who is this for: Facilities managers, greenhouse operators, farm and barn owners, restaurant and warehouse operators, or homeowners needing robust whole-room ventilation will benefit from the iLIVING 12" shutter exhaust fan. It suits anyone who needs reliable, thermostat-driven air exchange with adjustable speed, industrial materials, and safety features like OSHA guards and UL listing. If you require higher airflow or broader coverage, consider multiple units or consult ventilation planning guidelines to match capacity to your space.
