CABINET EXHAUSTERS
Acme VQL Cabinet Exhausters are perfect for large meeting rooms or institutional applications requiring up to 3500 CFM. Like all Acme VQ and VQL units, our cabinet models are quiet-running, heavy-duty, specification-grade exhausters. Permanently lubricated ball bearing motors are designed for continuous operation. Resilient motor mounts and acoustic insulation lining our 20-gauge galvanized steel housing make them exceptionally quiet large air movers. Acme VQL Cabinet Exhausters may be installed as either straight thru or right angle exhausters. Unique mounting brackets allow them to be installed quickly and easily in any of eight different positions.
