J&D Manufacturing's Twister Exhaust Fan has been a trusted barn and greenhouse ventilation staple for over 20 years. Built with a heavy-gauge galvanized steel housing and a direct-drive motor, the Twister delivers dependable, low-maintenance airflow in demanding agricultural, greenhouse, and industrial environments. Available in 12", 16", 20", and 24", each unit ships fully assembled - just cut your rough opening, mount, and wire. The 18-gauge galvanized butterfly shutters open effortlessly at startup and spring shut when the fan is off, creating a tight, draft-free seal against debris, moisture, and pests.
