DiversiTech 625-AF6 6" Dia. Duct Fan (240 CFM, 37W)
An in-duct booster fan used to increase airflow in a branch duct of a forced-air system to improve circulation and comfort in rooms with low airflow.
Key Features:
- 6" diameter duct fan; 240 CFM max airflow; 37W
- Metal construction with a powerful, no-maintenance motor
- Intended to help keep room temperatures more consistent and support lower heating/cooling costs
- Designed for installation into a 120V system
- Install instructions/templates/diagrams included
Compatibility & Applications:
- Intended for air circulation/ventilation use to boost airflow to low-output areas in forced-air duct systems
- Designed to boost only dry (ambient) heated or cooled airflow on the downstream side of the main circulator (in a branch duct)
- Must only be used where the manufacturer specifies this exact part number: 625-AF6
Installation & Operation Notes:
- Installation and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with applicable codes and standards (NEC/ANSI/NFPA 70 noted in instructions)
- Only install this duct fan in horizontal applications
- Use only in ambient temperatures between 50°F and 140°F
- Do not use this fan with any solid-state speed control device
- Use the attached electrical junction box; field wiring must comply with local code requirements and applicable electrical standards
- Manufacturer-provided electrical hook-up options include wiring to cycle with the main blower, wiring to an on/off switch, wiring through an auxiliary airflow switch, wiring through a 120V line thermostat, or wiring for continuous operation
Maintenance & Troubleshooting:
- The fan is described by the manufacturer as having a no-maintenance motor
- If performance is poor, confirm it is installed in a branch duct downstream of the main blower and that the application is within the required ambient temperature range
- Overheating caution from the instructions: the 6" model's motor thermal protection is against one instance of overheating; do not subject it to temperatures exceeding 257°F / 125°C or the motor can fail permanently
User Reviews & Q&A Summary:
- Most reviewers use it as a booster to solve low-airflow rooms (including upstairs rooms/bedrooms and areas served by long runs), and report it "works as intended" and improves comfort
- Installation is commonly described as straightforward, with many customers purchasing specifically to correct uneven heating/cooling or to boost airflow from a duct run (including wood-stove/heat-transfer setups)
- The most common downside mentioned is sound level: a few reviewers note it can be noticeable/loud in quieter spaces (e.g., near bedrooms)
- Q&A themes: customers ask for wiring/installation guidance beyond the manual; responses direct customers to the included instructions and note SupplyHouse cannot advise on installation specifics beyond manufacturer documentation
