The Derale 17320 is a 20" rigid race fan with steel blades, built for maximum airflow in racing and high-heat applications. Unlike a flex fan, the rigid steel blades hold their pitch at all engine speeds, so the fan moves as much air as possible at every rpm. It mounts to a standard-rotation water pump fan flange and is a universal mechanical fan intended for standard (clockwise) rotation.

FAQ
What is the Derale 17320 fan?
It is a 20" rigid steel-blade race fan for standard-rotation engines, built for maximum airflow.
How is a rigid race fan different from a flex fan?
Its blades stay rigid at all speeds, so it moves maximum air at every rpm rather than flattening to reduce drag.
What rotation does it require?
It is for standard (clockwise) rotation water pumps.
