- 16-inch diameter moves high air volume at 1780 RPM
- 5-degree blade pitch optimises airflow for direct-drive systems
- Three aluminium blades balance strength and corrosion resistance
- 1/2-inch bore fits standard 1/4 HP motor shafts
- Clockwise rotation with intake-side hub matches common blower configurations
Direct-Drive Propeller Blower
This Dayton propeller blower measures 16 inches in diameter and runs at 1780 RPM with a quarter-horsepower direct-drive motor. The three aluminium blades are set at a 28.5-degree pitch and rotate clockwise from the intake side. It fits a half-inch bore, equivalent to 12.7 millimetres, for a secure shaft connection. The unit is supplied new and ready for HVAC installation.
Aluminium Blade Construction
Three aluminium blades keep the assembly light while resisting corrosion in ventilation environments. A direct-drive arrangement removes belts and pulleys, reducing maintenance points and vibration. The intake-side hub location simplifies mounting inside standard blower housings. Clockwise rotation and the fixed 28.5-degree pitch deliver consistent airflow without field adjustment.
Replaces Worn Direct-Drive Wheels
This propeller serves as a direct replacement for failed or noisy direct-drive blower wheels of the same diameter, bore and pitch. The jump is worth it when the original blades have fatigued, the hub has worn loose on the shaft, or corrosion has unbalanced the rotor. It is not suited for belt-drive housings, counter-clockwise applications or larger shaft diameters.

Questions about this item
What RPM does the 16 in 3-blade propeller reach at 1/4 hp?
The propeller runs at 1780 RPM when driven by a 1/4 hp motor.
What bore size matches the 1/2 in shaft on this 16 in propeller?
The hub has a 1/2 in bore, which is 12.7 mm, to fit a standard 1/2 in motor shaft.
How do you confirm the correct rotation before installing the CW propeller?
View the fan from the intake side; the blades must turn clockwise, so verify motor rotation matches before tightening the set screw.
