My first small engine run

Hey Everyone,
This is my new fan project. I like the motor/rotor separation, no mixing here, hopefully.
Gordon Ooghe, from post 275, I’ll have more info for you soon.

I rolled a cone to transition from 2" pipe to the 5 1/4" fan inlet. I used eighteen 20 degree bends. This type of inlet is one of those efficiency tweeks. It’s not totally to the spec 7 degree slope, it would be longer so I compromised a bit.

I caulked the outside and pop riveted it to the front cover from the inside for a minimum clearance fit.

Exterior view of fit.

I needed a T20 secure torx bit to remove the screws.

It has a 4 1/2" X 6 1/2" base for securing to the unit.

Ready to adapt to 1 1/2" piping

Does anyone here know if this motor can be speed controlled?

Thanks, Pepe
