FAQs
What size confined space blower do I need?

The size of the confined space blower you need depends on the size of the space you are ventilating and the specific requirements of your jobsite. Blower capacity is typically measured in air flow, or cubic feet per minute (CFM). For help selecting the right size ventilation blower for your application, contact a United Rentals representative.

Does United Rentals include ducting with confined space blower rentals?

Yes, we offer confined space ventilation ducting for rent alongside our blowers and fans. We offer 25 foot ducting in 8, 12 and 20 inch diameters. Many of our ventilation blowers feature quick-connect systems, allowing for fast and easy attachment of ducting on the jobsite.

How many air changes per hour are required for confined space ventilation?

The required number of air changes per hour for a confined space varies depending on OSHA standards, the size of the space, the nature of the work being performed and the specific contaminants present. It is essential to consult with your site's safety manager and refer to the relevant safety regulations to determine the appropriate ventilation rate for your project.
