12V 16in Thermatic Electric Fan

The 12V 16in Thermatic Electric Fan from Davies Craig is a high-performance cooling solution designed for vehicle enthusiasts and mechanics who demand reliable thermal management in custom builds, engine swaps, and heavy-duty applications. This 16-inch push/pull electric fan replaces traditional belt-driven cooling systems, offering superior control, efficiency, and packaging flexibility on the engine bay. Whether you're running a modified engine with increased output, installing a modern powerplant in a classic chassis, or optimizing cooling in a tight underhood space, the Thermatic fan delivers consistent airflow exactly when your engine needs it most.

Built with a thermostatic controller and straight-blade design, this 12-volt unit operates with intelligent temperature-sensing logic that activates cooling only during demand cycles, reducing parasitic load and improving overall engine efficiency. The push/pull capability means you can mount it ahead of the radiator or behind it, adapting to your specific cooling circuit layout—critical when working within spatial constraints of retrofitted applications. Constructed from durable plastic housing with robust blade construction, the fan measures 16.75 inches wide by 15.9 inches in height with a 3.8-inch depth profile, allowing installation in space-limited engine bays while maintaining adequate radiator airflow volume. The thermostatic control eliminates the need for manual switching or complex wiring, automatically cycling the fan based on coolant temperature.

Automotive professionals and hot rodders benefit most from this fan when converting carbureted engines to modern EFI platforms, upgrading cooling on engine-swapped vehicles, or reducing engine compartment heat in street rods and customs where underhood temperatures run high. Installation requires a 12-volt power source and basic wiring integration with your cooling system; compatibility with most radiator tanks and shroud configurations makes it versatile across American muscle cars, imports, and vintage restorations. Weighing 6.85 pounds, the Thermatic fan is light enough for gravity-feed cooling circuits yet robust enough to handle sustained cooling loads on modified engines producing elevated heat output. Mechanics appreciate the thermostatic design's reliability—no electronic controllers to program, just plug-and-play simplicity that performs.
