Patterson H18B is a verified current yoke-configuration high-velocity circulation fan with a 17-inch propeller, 3,800 CFM, and 1/2 HP listing.

What works

  • Current manufacturer SKU H18B directly matches the yoke configuration
  • Manufacturer lists a 17-inch propeller, 3,800 CFM, and 1/2 HP

What doesn't

  • Legacy listing size and electrical wording differ from current manufacturer data
  • Yoke configuration does not establish a wall, ceiling, or other installed mounting method

Who it's for

Good fit

  • Targeted industrial air circulation where the specified three-phase B configuration can be confirmed

Look elsewhere if

  • Outdoor-air ventilation or exhaust sizing without a separate engineered air path

Verified current configuration

Patterson’s current product JSON identifies SKU H18B as 18" / B: 208-230V/460V (No Cord) / Yoke (Standard). That exact SKU supports this record’s current yoke configuration and B-series electrical description. The older listing title says 230/460V and describes a 24-inch product; current manufacturer wording says 208–230V/460V and the current 18-inch size section specifies a 17-inch propeller. Confirm the nameplate and supplied electrical configuration before purchase. No numeric voltage is published here because the manufacturer lists a multi-voltage configuration.

Published fan performance

The manufacturer’s 18-inch size section lists a 17-inch propeller, 3,800 CFM, and 1/2 HP. The 17-inch measurement is the actual propeller diameter, not the nominal 18-inch product size. Patterson does not state a static-pressure test condition next to that CFM value, so treat it as a listed circulation rating rather than delivered ventilation flow. The yoke option does not prove a wall, ceiling, or other installation method.

Buying limits

The B configuration is listed without a cord. Plan structural support, required fasteners, electrical connection, guard clearance, and any ventilation path separately. This high-velocity circulation fan does not by itself provide an outdoor-air, supply, or exhaust system.

Sources and alternatives

The manufacturer specification page provides the performance figures; its current model-variant data identifies the model and electrical option. Compare mounted industrial fans by their actual propeller diameter, supplied hardware, and electrical configuration. A higher CFM figure alone does not establish that a different model will fit the installation.

Before you buy

Installation and buying checks

Use these questions to verify the exact configuration. Linked facts are cited; unlisted details stay questions.

  1. Mounting and support

    What mounting method and hardware does the exact unit require?

  2. Clearance and handling

    Do the listed physical details leave enough clearance for installation, adjustment, and service?

  3. Electrical match

    What voltage and connection requirements does the exact unit specify?

  4. Airflow at the job

    Is the listed airflow rated at an operating point that matches the job after placement, obstructions, and system resistance are considered?

  5. Location requirements

    Does the site require an environmental rating or guard? Neither is listed here.

Put 3,800 CFM in context

The Patterson H18B Yoke-Mount High-Velocity Fan has a listed airflow of 3,800 cubic feet per minute. The table compares this rated volume with example room volumes. It does not measure fresh-air exchange, air speed at your body, or room coverage.

RoomSizeNominal room volumes / hourNominal pass interval
One-car garage22 × 12 × 9 ft · 2,376 ft³96×38 s
Two-car garage22 × 20 × 9 ft · 3,960 ft³58×1 min

A circulation fan does not by itself replace indoor air. Exhaust airflow depends on a makeup-air path and system resistance. Use installed outdoor airflow for ventilation calculations.

Formula: airflow × 60 ÷ room volume. CDC explains the ventilation form of this equation; here the input is a catalog rating, so the result is a volume comparison.
