This is a replacement mesh guard for PolarCool 18" evaporative cooling fans — it bolts over the fan opening to keep hands, tools, and debris away from the spinning propeller.
This guard is a genuine PolarCool replacement part, not a generic aftermarket substitute. It matters because a mesh guard that doesn't seat correctly on the housing can leave gaps near the blade tips, which is a real safety issue in equipment rooms and around foot traffic. Note: If you would like to review the manufacturer Product Specifications, Warranty, Brochure, etc., for this system, please refer to the "Resources (System Manuals and Warranty)" Tab above on this page.
