Carrier LA01EC026 Fan Blade

The Carrier LA01EC026 Fan Blade is a precision-engineered OEM replacement condenser fan blade designed for heavy-duty HVAC applications. With a 26-inch diameter and a 31-degree pitch, this 3-blade assembly is balanced to ensure optimal airflow and static pressure performance in Carrier, Bryant, and Day & Night condensing units. The component features a 1/2-inch bore and is designed for clockwise (CW) rotation (facing the discharge side). Constructed from high-grade aluminum to resist corrosion and structural fatigue, this blade prevents the excessive vibration often associated with aftermarket alternatives. When troubleshooting condenser motor overheating or reduced heat transfer, verifying the pitch and hub location is critical. This specific HVAC propeller fan is engineered to match the original factory specifications for motor load and RPM, ensuring the compressor operates within its designed thermal limits.

Key Technical Benefits:

• Optimized Airflow: The 31-degree pitch provides the necessary CFM for high-efficiency condensing units without overloading the fan motor.
• OEM Compatibility: Exact dimensional match for Carrier 26-inch fan blades, eliminating clearance issues during installation.
• Durability: Aluminum construction provides a high strength-to-weight ratio to minimize bearing wear on the condenser fan motor.
• Dynamic Balance: Factory-balanced to reduce harmonic noise and extend the lifespan of the motor assembly.

Common Contractor Questions:

How do I confirm the direction of rotation for this blade?
The LA01EC026 is a CW rotation fan blade. Rotation is typically determined by looking down at the discharge side (the top of the unit).

Can I use a different pitch blade if the diameter is the same?
No. Changing the pitch will alter the amperage draw of the motor. Using this specific 31-degree blade ensures the motor operates within its rated FLA (Full Load Amps).

What is the proper hub orientation for installation?
The hub should be positioned to match the original factory depth on the motor shaft to ensure the blades remain centered within the venturi or fan shroud for maximum efficiency.
