Plastic blowers are an excellent choice for aggressive applications where metal blowers quickly corrode. Metal blowers rely on protective coatings, which develop pinholes and pores. Corrosive vapors seep through and attack the metal, causing failure. The smaller laboratory units have round inlets and outlets, and industrial units (37132) have round inlets and rectangular outlets. There is a range of sizes designed for use in lab hoods and cabinets to more industrial applications. If installing a motor, note that Norton® blowers must not exceed the stated RPM of each blower. NOTE: Blowers are supplied fully assembled in counterclockwise upblast position. For indoor and outdoor use. All outdoor vertical blower discharge ducts must have weather hoods, no bottom horizontal or down-blast positions. Great where applications include corrosive vapors, dirty, damp or oily service. The direct-drive motor is more compact, single-speed, and has fewer moving parts, and no field adjustments.
