They are expensive though but they last forever, very high quality, and dont have to worry about them.

As for your question about which way to wire, it all depends on what way you want the air to flow. Almost any fan can be a pusher or puller, It all depends on which way you wire the fan up. If the fan was originally called a pusher then i would have to guess the blue would be positive and black ground, If you want it to pull just wire it up opposite. If the fan was originally stated as a puller, the blue is again positive and black ground. If you want it to push, wire it up opposite. Its easiest to just test it out with a battery first before wiring it up to be sure. I would suggest that.


Thanks Ashton!!! It was called a pusher when purchased so Ill match the wires and wire up...

Flexalite or SPAL were both options, I didnt mind paying a little extra as long as I didnt have to worry about replacing.

Just make sure which way the fan is turning before you do any soldering or permanent connections.

Yeah I will, It was labeled as a pusher so at first I will assume black will be ground.

Appears SPAL Fans are labeled pusher or puller and just need to be wired the same way. You cannot change blades as they are setup for the direction there bought as.

Yeah, but usually just reversing the wires will determine what direction the motor turns. I have seen some fan motors where this isn't the case though.

It may work but the blades are curved a certain direction and on the SPAL it doesnt look like you can change this. Either or no biggie I bought a pusher to be used as a pusher so im good to go.
