Frequently asked questions
How do I measure my blower wheel?
Measure the outside diameter across the blades, the width from end ring to end ring, and the bore (the shaft hole). Note the hub location and the rotation. Email photos if you're unsure.
How is rotation determined?
Rotation is determined from the back side of the wheel. Tell us clockwise or counterclockwise as seen from that side.
Can you match a wheel from another manufacturer?
Yes. Duplicating wheels is a core part of what we do. Send the old wheel, or photos with dimensions, and we build an exact match.
Why are there no prices online?
Most wheels are built to order in your choice of material and bore. Add items to a quote, or call or email us, and we give you the price and lead time quickly.
Do you ship outside New York?
Yes. We supply customers throughout the United States.
What materials can you build in?
Steel, stainless steel and aluminum, with special coatings on request.
