Carrier LA01EA026 Fan Blade
The Carrier LA01EA026 Fan Blade is a precision-engineered OEM replacement propeller designed for residential and light commercial condensing units. This 18-inch HVAC fan blade features a 2-blade configuration with a 23-degree pitch, optimized for moving high volumes of air while maintaining low static pressure. Engineered for a 1/2-inch bore diameter with a CCW (Counter-Clockwise) rotation as viewed from the discharge side, this component ensures proper heat exchange across the condenser coil. The LA01EA026 serves as a direct drop-in for LA01EA026A, maintaining structural integrity under high-RPM operation. Using genuine Carrier replacement parts prevents common vibration issues and motor bearing wear associated with generic alternatives. For technicians performing condenser motor repair, verifying the hub orientation and pitch is critical for maintaining the SEER rating and operational efficiency of the system.
Key Benefits for Contractors- Direct OEM Compatibility: Identical to LA01EA026A, ensuring no modifications are needed during field installation.
- High-Grade Aluminum Construction: Resists corrosion and maintains aerodynamic balance to extend the life of the fan motor.
- Optimized Airflow: The 23-degree blade pitch is specifically calibrated for Carrier, Bryant, and Payne outdoor units to maximize BTU heat rejection.
- Reduced Noise Levels: Precision-stamped blades minimize turbulence and mechanical hum during peak cooling cycles.
Is this blade compatible with 1/2" motor shafts?
Yes, this blade is designed with a 1/2-inch hub, the industry standard for most residential condenser fan motors.
How do I determine the rotation?
This is a CCW Lead Edge blade. Always verify rotation by looking at the discharge side of the fan to ensure it matches your existing motor's direction.
Can I use this for LA01EA026A applications?
Absolutely. The LA01EA026 is the designated replacement and is functionally identical to the LA01EA026A model.
