How to read a 5000K nameplate

Hudson fans carry an adjustable pitch code on the nameplate. APT 28K 8 breaks down like this:

  • APT: adjustable pitch fan.
  • The number: fan diameter in feet.
  • K: the blade, here Tuf-Lite III. H is Tuf-Lite II, K is Tuf-Lite III, KW is Tuf-Lite III wide chord and M is Tuf-Lite IV.
  • The next number: blade count.
  • The bore: shaft size, where it's given. Large fans are often ordered without it.

Match the bore to a bushing: Q-2 fits 1" to 2.62", R-2 fits 2.68" to 3.62", S-2 fits 3.68" to 4.19" and U-1 fits 4.25" to 5.50". Read those off the nameplate and get in touch. We'll match the parts.

Specifications and part numbers from Hudson's published 5000K installation manual, put in our own words. Common parts for every series, including clamp bolts, hub spools and seal discs, are on the Hudson parts page. Every number is also in the part number lookup.

5000K questions

Before you order.

What colour are 5000K fan blades?

Teal green. Smaller Tuf-Lite III fans have white blades, so a teal green blade on a large fan is a quick way to spot a 5000K.

Which blade clamp suits a corrosive or concrete tower?

The 65013 powder epoxy or 65013C coal tar epoxy ductile iron clamp halves, which Hudson lists for concrete or round towers and corrosive service. The standard clamp is the D5131 die cast aluminum.

What tip clearance does a 5000K fan need?

1" to 1-1/2" between the blade tip and the fan ring.
