Built from corrosion-, UV-, and chemical-resistant polyethylene and rated at 3,200 CFM free air, it is ideally suited for demanding environments such as paper mills, tank purging, utility sites, and industrial construction applications. The blower supports both positive (supply) and negative (exhaust) airflow from a three-blade polypropylene fan, giving crews the flexibility to ventilate or exhaust a space with a single unit. Certified to UL, CSA Standard C22.2 No. 113, and CE standards, it meets the compliance requirements for professional confined space work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetails\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eALLEGRO\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eItem #\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9539-16\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUPC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e741851953946\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFan Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 HP\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVoltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e115V AC, 60 Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAirflow — Free Air\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3,200 CFM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAirflow — One 90° Bend\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2,350 CFM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAirflow — Two 90° Bends\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2,250 CFM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAirflow Direction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePositive and negative (ventilate or exhaust)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFan Blades\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThree-blade polypropylene\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHousing Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolyethylene (corrosion-, UV-, and chemical-resistant)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSafety orange\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40 lbs.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCertifications\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUL Recognized, CSA Certified (C22.2 No. 113), CE Certified\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApplications\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction, Industrial, Manufacturing, Paper Mills\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTechnical Tips\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePair with Allegro standard ducting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChina\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompared to centrifugal blowers, the 9539-16 delivers high airflow at lower cost and weight, making it the preferred choice when portability and cost are major factors and ducting runs are relatively short. Unlike smaller axial models in the Allegro line, the 16-inch industrial format delivers 3,200 CFM free air — matching the output of the standard 16-inch plastic blower series while incorporating the industrial-grade housing and enclosed electrical components designed for harsher job-site conditions. It can also be deployed as an inline booster blower to extend effective duct distances when paired with a primary blower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e1 HP Motor with 3,200 CFM Free Air Output\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1 HP motor drives 3,200 CFM of free-air flow, dropping to 2,350 CFM through one 90° bend and 2,250 CFM through two 90° bends — performance that makes it practical for large confined spaces where rapid air exchange is critical. This output level is well-suited for paper mills, tank purging, and large utility vaults where smaller blowers would require excessive run time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBidirectional Airflow (Positive and Negative)\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe three-blade polypropylene fan delivers both positive (supply) and negative (exhaust) airflow, allowing a single unit to either push fresh air into a space or pull contaminated air out. This dual-mode capability reduces the number of pieces of equipment a crew needs to bring to a job site, lowering overall equipment costs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCorrosion-, UV-, and Chemical-Resistant Polyethylene Housing\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe polyethylene housing and canister assembly resist corrosion, UV degradation, and chemical exposure — properties that extend service life in the harsh environments where industrial blowers are routinely deployed. This durability reduces replacement frequency and supports a lower total cost of ownership over the life of the equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eEnclosed Electrical Components with Bottom Enclosure\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA dedicated bottom enclosure protects the electrical components from debris, moisture, and incidental contact on the job site. This design detail reduces the risk of electrical faults and unplanned downtime in dirty or wet work environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eMolded Carry Handle with Built-In On\/Off Switch\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe carry handle is molded directly into the housing, providing a secure, ergonomic grip for transport without adding a separate attachment point that could fail. The integrated On\/Off switch allows the operator to control the blower without releasing their grip or reaching for a separate control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStackable Design and Lightweight Construction\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 40 lbs., the 9539-16 is manageable for a single worker to transport to and from the job site. The stackable design allows multiple units to be stored compactly in a service vehicle or storage area, reducing the footprint required when multiple blowers are part of a confined space program.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSafety Orange Color for High Visibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe safety orange finish makes the blower highly visible in busy work environments, reducing the risk of trip hazards or accidental contact in areas with heavy foot traffic or equipment movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInline Booster Blower Capability\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 9539-16 is designed to function as an inline booster blower, acting as a velocity accelerator when longer duct distances are required.
