✅ Confirmed Compatibility

Compatibility should be verified using the complete fan number, input voltage, dimensions, wiring, mounting arrangement, and airflow direction.

✔️ 12038FB-B3N-WPD Applications: Direct replacement where the existing fan carries the same complete model number
✔️ 12038FB-B3N-WPD-1 Configuration: Documented 230V AC configuration with matching electrical and dimensional specifications; verify the lead and guard arrangement
✔️ SK 3239.100 / 3239100 Filter-Fan Assembly: Documented as being supplied with the 12038FB-B3N-WPD fan
✔️ Order Reference 216341: Documented 230V AC filter-fan configuration using this fan
✔️ DV4650-470 Applications: Documented as the earlier fan used in the same SK 3239.100 assembly; physical and electrical configuration must be compared before replacement

⚙️ Fit Notes

• The documented model number is 12038FB-B3N-WPD. The leading-zero form 012038FB-B3N-WPD should be treated only as a catalog or search variation.
• This is a 230V AC fan. It must not be connected to 12V, 24V, or 48V DC power.
• 12038FB-A1N-WPD is a 115V AC version and is not electrically interchangeable.
• Verify the complete model number rather than purchasing solely by the 120mm frame size.
• Compare the wire count, connector, terminal arrangement, lead length, mounting holes, finger guard, and airflow direction with the existing fan.
• The -1 suffix may identify a particular lead, guard, or equipment configuration. Compare the actual unit before installation.
• Complete filter-fan assemblies may have lower published airflow than the fan’s free-air rating because filters, grilles, and enclosure resistance restrict airflow.
