Princess Auto Fans (wiring)

[DiscusZ]

I had my new canopy delivered on Friday (Thanks Rob!!!)

How do you wire up the fans. he recommended using the Princess Auto 4" fans

I am probably going for a ride today and might as well pick up what I need and get that part done.


Thanks

The wiring is simple. Get your Dad to do it, like I do! :razz: They are a 110V fan, 100+ CFM (I will post that pic. ASAP) Anyway, the fastest way I have found to supply them pre-wired; pick up wire, (I usually use power-tool replacement cords; Home Depot-around $8 each. But this includes the plug on it as well) You can also grab in-line switches too if you like.

I get them soldered on, with heat shrink tape to protect the leads from corrosion.

(there are only 2 wires used, black and white. 2 leads on the fan.)

Plug in, and away you go!

well picked up 2 fans (they are the right size) hopefully they are the right ones :) I picked up 2 plugs from there as welll they have an end for like some sort of (hmmm not sure how to explain it) anyways it fits right over the 2 prongs that are on the fan, works like a charm.. no soldering or anything..


Now I have to attempt to drill the 4 holes for each fan :) and then mount and grill the outside
