Carrier LA01LB026 Fan Blade

The Carrier LA01LB026 Fan Blade is a critical OEM replacement part engineered for high-efficiency thermal transfer in residential and commercial condensing units. This 2-blade assembly features a 26-inch diameter and a 26-degree pitch, specifically designed to pull air across the outdoor coil to maintain optimal subcooling levels. Built for durability in demanding environments, the aluminum blade construction resists corrosion while the 1/2" bore steel hub ensures a secure, vibration-free press-fit onto the motor shaft.

As a counter-clockwise (CCW) rotation component (facing the air discharge side), the LA01LB026 is essential for restoring factory-spec airflow in Carrier, Bryant, and Payne HVAC systems. Technicians should verify the intake side hub location and ensure the motor horsepower matches the load profile of this 26-inch prop. Replacing a warped or unbalanced condenser fan blade is vital to preventing premature compressor failure and maintaining system SEER ratings during peak ambient conditions.

• Precise Airflow Delivery: The 26-degree pitch is calibrated to move maximum CFM with minimal static pressure.
• Industrial-Grade Materials: Features high-strength aluminum blades and a reinforced steel hub for long-term mechanical stability.
• Universal Compatibility: Fits a wide range of 26-inch Carrier family outdoor units requiring a 1/2-inch shaft diameter.
• Reduced Mechanical Stress: Factory-balanced design minimizes motor bearing wear and systemic noise.

Common Questions Is the Carrier LA01LB026 compatible with my motor? This blade requires a motor with a 1/2-inch diameter shaft. Always check the motor nameplate for rotation (CCW) and ensure the 26-inch sweep fits within the fan shroud with proper tip clearance. How do I determine the rotation of this fan blade? Rotation is determined by looking at the blade from the air discharge side. This model is CCW rotation. Installing a clockwise blade in its place will reverse airflow and cause the system to trip on high-pressure limits. Does it matter which side the hub is on? Yes. This part features the bore on the intake side. Proper hub positioning is critical for aligning the blade within the venturi and ensuring the set screw aligns with the flat of the motor shaft.
