(Please no lectures about how I should replace the entire unit to save
money)


The motor is 208/230 Volt 0.5 HP 1075 RPM standard frame 48 motor.


The blade is a 22" diameter 4 square blades. *I don't know the pitch.


I see Grainger has the stuff *I *need, their fans are *REVCOR which is even
the same brand as the original. * They have a 22" diameter REVCOR blade
rated for 0.5 HP so that is probably what I need. *Grainger has what looks
like the blade I need in both CW and CCW style. *The original *fan I have
turns CW when viewed from the top which is also the motor side and also the
discharge side.

How is the CW. vs CCW specified for fans. *Is it *viewed from the intake
side or the discharge side, or from the hub or not hub side or?


* * * * The rotation of a motor is viewed by looking at the front of the motor
unless otherwise specified.





If I get a universal reversible motor, then does it really matter which
blade I use, can I simply connect the motor so the blade turns the right
way?


thanks
