16in S-Blade Push/Puller Electric Fan

The 16in S-Blade Push/Puller Electric Fan from FLEX-A-LITE is engineered for automotive enthusiasts and professional mechanics who demand reliable engine cooling without the parasitic loss of mechanical fans. Whether you're building a street rod, upgrading a classic muscle car, or optimizing cooling efficiency in a modern engine bay swap, this 16-inch electric fan eliminates the complexity of belt-driven alternatives while delivering consistent airflow across a wide temperature range. The push/pull configuration allows flexible mounting options, making it ideal for tight engine compartments or custom fabrication projects where space and airflow direction are critical.

Built with curved S-blade geometry, this electric fan generates 1,980 CFM of cooling capacity—sufficient for street-level performance and mild competition duty. The shrouded plastic construction minimizes weight while maintaining structural rigidity, and the 12-volt DC operation integrates seamlessly with stock and aftermarket electrical systems. At just 4 inches thick and measuring 15.75 x 16.625 inches in the core, the compact form factor fits behind radiators in original mounting locations or custom brackets, reducing installation complexity and maintaining aesthetic balance in show-quality builds. The push/pull design flexibility means you can configure it to draw air through the radiator (pull) or force air across the core (push), depending on your plumbing layout and cooling demands.

This fan benefits hot-rod builders, engine swappers, and anyone running a modified or high-output engine that generates sustained heat under load. Installation requires 12-volt switched power and ground, plus basic fabrication to secure the 5.95-pound unit to your radiator shroud or custom frame. The curved-blade design ensures smooth, quiet operation at idle while ramping up CFM at higher thermostat engagement, making it equally at home on a street cruiser or weekend track car where cooling margin matters. Proper thermostat selection and wiring to a quality relay-controlled circuit will maximize efficiency and extend service life in demanding applications.
