Derale 2 inch Fan Spacer Silver Model 31520 for Engine Cooling

Description

Product Overview

The Derale 2 inch Fan Spacer Silver Model 31520 is a precision‑engineered component designed to improve the cooling efficiency of automotive engines. Crafted from high‑grade silver‑finished metal, the spacer offers excellent corrosion resistance and long‑term durability, ensuring it maintains its structural integrity even under the most demanding thermal cycles. Its dimensions—7.88 x 4.75 x 2.25 inches—provide a perfect fit for standard engine fan assemblies, while the 2‑inch thickness creates an optimal air gap that encourages smoother airflow across the radiator core. This design reduces heat buildup, helps maintain consistent operating temperatures, and can extend the lifespan of both the fan and the cooling system as a whole. The product includes a single piece that requires no additional hardware, making installation straightforward for both professional mechanics and DIY enthusiasts. With a UPC of 083277315206 and a GTIN of 00083277315206, the Derale fan spacer is fully traceable and meets industry standards for automotive replacement parts.

Usage

Designed for a wide variety of passenger cars, light trucks, and SUVs, the Derale fan spacer is ideal for anyone looking to enhance engine cooling performance. It is particularly beneficial in high‑temperature environments, such as hot summer climates, heavy‑load towing situations, or performance driving where the engine works harder and generates more heat. Installation involves removing the existing fan assembly, placing the spacer between the fan and the mounting bracket, and re‑securing the fan using the original bolts. The process typically takes less than 30 minutes and does not require specialized tools beyond a basic socket set. Once installed, drivers will notice a reduction in engine temperature spikes during prolonged idling, uphill climbs, or aggressive acceleration. The spacer is also compatible with aftermarket cooling upgrades, making it a versatile addition to any cooling system enhancement project.

FAQ

Will this spacer fit my vehicle if I have a different fan size?

The Derale 31520 spacer is designed for standard 2‑inch fan mounts, which are common on many makes and models. However, we recommend checking your vehicle’s service manual or measuring the existing fan to confirm compatibility before purchase.

Do I need any special tools to install the fan spacer?

No special tools are required. A basic socket set and a torque wrench are sufficient to remove the existing fan, position the spacer, and reinstall the fan bolts to the manufacturer’s recommended torque specifications.

Can I use this spacer with an aftermarket radiator?

Yes, the spacer works well with most aftermarket radiators as long as the fan mounting pattern remains standard. It helps improve airflow regardless of the radiator brand, making it a versatile upgrade for performance cooling setups.

What warranty does Derale provide for this fan spacer?

Derale offers a limited warranty that covers any manufacturing defects for a period of one year from the date of purchase. This warranty does not cover damage caused by improper installation or external factors.

How does the fan spacer affect engine temperature?

By creating a larger air gap, the spacer allows more air to pass through the radiator, which can lower engine temperature by several degrees under load. This helps prevent overheating, especially in high‑stress driving conditions.
