The revolutionary, patent-pending Flex-Wave™ electric fan from Flex-A-Lite® has greater airflow, is more efficient and is quieter than traditional S-blade and straight-blade designs. The Flex-Wave fan moves up to 20 percent more airflow than Flex-A-Lite Trimline fans, and up to 25 percent more airflow than the comparable electric fans from the competitors! This reversible 12-inch Flex-Wave fan moves 1,325 cfm of airflow.
Converting from a belt-driven fan to a Flex-A-Lite electric fan frees up wasted horsepower and increases gas mileage. When used as an auxiliary fan, these units will provide additional cooling.
More than having just a different look, the Flex-Wave electric-fan blade has several aerodynamic advantages for air movement:
- Choose fan diameter: 12, 14 or 16 Inch
- The leading edge of the fan blade is no longer a single, solid line. The sine-wave design creates leading edges that cut through the air first. This starts movement in the air around the blade with greater efficiency.
- The wave surface of the blades creates channels for the air to move along, producing more airflow and reducing energy losses.
- The wave surface forms a winglet at the tip of the blade, further increasing efficiency by reducing air vortices.
- The trailing edge of the fan blade also has variations, which reduces wind noise.

The Flex-Wave fans are exceptionally good
Summary: I fit a 16" and a 12" in my Audi S4. It's a V8, which means they stuffed a small block V8 in a Corolla-sized car. There's nearly no room, and heat is a big issue. These Flex-Waves blast the hot air right out of the engine bay, it's pretty impressive. Quieter than the OEM Valero fans, too.
Yes, I recommend this product.
Yes this a great product
Summary: I am instilling it in a 1969 Ford F-100 Truck with a 431cubic inch engine, I think this will work great, trying to keep the engine cool.
Yes, I recommend this product.
Excellent Product
Summary: I have a classic 1965, Corvette with AC. With the high heat in Texas, an electric fan was the solution to cooling problems. The Flex Fan with straight blades was selected for its efficiency. Although some customers complained about blade noise, I did not experience any problems but actually found the fan very quiet. I would recommend this product.
Yes, I recommend this product.
