30103202
The SPAL 12" Electric Radiator Puller Fan is a high-performance curved-blade cooling fan designed for demanding automotive, racing, and off-road cooling systems. Rated at up to 1,870 CFM, this 12-volt puller fan is well suited for radiators, oil coolers, heat exchangers, and compact engine bays where strong airflow is critical to controlling engine temperature.
After testing multiple electric fans, this is the best-performing compact 12" fan Wide Open Design has used. In WOD cooling applications, switching to this SPAL curved-blade puller fan has produced engine temperature reductions of up to 30°F compared with other fan combinations tested. Because of that performance, it is the fan used in the WOD 27.5" x 15.5" x 3" Dual Pass Radiator Combo for LS and LT cooling systems.

Universal Puller Fan Application
Fitment Notes:
Electric fan performance depends on more than the advertised free-air CFM rating. Radiator core thickness, fin density, shroud coverage, blade design, motor strength, and restrictions within the engine bay all affect how much air a fan can pull through the cooling system under real operating conditions.
This SPAL 12" curved-blade puller fan became Wide Open Design's preferred 12" option after testing multiple fan combinations. When paired with the correct radiator and shroud setup, WOD has observed engine temperature reductions of up to 30°F compared with other combinations tested.
A puller fan mounted behind the radiator generally moves air more efficiently through the core than a pusher fan mounted in front. It also works with natural airflow as vehicle speed increases.
A properly designed shroud allows the fan to pull air through a larger portion of the radiator core instead of only through the area directly in front of the blades. Better core coverage improves cooling consistency at idle and low vehicle speed.
Yes. An IP68-rated motor is sealed against dust and water intrusion, which is valuable in mud, rain, water crossings, racing, and other harsh environments.
High-output electric fans often use larger motors and deeper blade profiles to maintain airflow through restrictive radiator cores. Always confirm the 4.397" overall depth before installation, especially in compact engine bays.
