Just... splice a plug, and twist the wires together.

Match the colors...

If not... match the black cables. The other ones will be the "live" ones.
If that doesn't help... check out wikiPedia or something along those lines... you'll find diagrams and help there.

Go for it man!
Wow... a Turbo 4000 fan... :) Nice!

Whay type of boat you putting that on?

Hey 50ul
Is that fan AC or DC current?The black wire is the power lead and the white
is the common on DC or AC electric.I looked at that fan on the web site and it dosent say if it is a DC or AC fan.

The site says it draws 3.5 amps. My guess would be that it is low voltage DC (maybe 12 or 24 volts) because this would be around 400 watts at 120VAC and most fans use alot less power than that.

well i would assume its AC lol, These things arent supposed to be run on a DC current... where would u find DC avaialable where this would be used..? My best guess would be if u ordered it in us then its 120v. Dont take my word i really dont know but from my understanding a good way to look at it. DC is from a battery and AC is household.

well i e-mail them and i look on the site and the tiltle of it has change....it says

"Turbo 4000 4" Inline Blower, White, 12 VDC"

take a look...cant i just wire a plug on?

dont wire that shit into a wall, lol your gonna blow a fuse or something. that 12v dc is the same current your cigarett lighter is in your car. This fan is used for a boat.... which gets power from a battery. Your house current is 120v so thats way to much for that fan sooo i mean i dont even kno what you could do with it, u need some sort of converter for it. maybe a computer power supply i think they convert to 12v DC.

ya computer power supply does 12V Dc......i'll just have to find one....you guys think it will push what it says it does?

no way those fans barely push any air at all. i have one and it is useless for anything except for boosting the intakes. when it's running you can put you hand in front of it about 12inches away and not even feel much air at all. they have there place but exhausting a grow is not one. go to radio shack and tell them you need a dc to ac converter and they will hook you up but when all is said and done you will end up spending as much as if you just ordered a small ecoplus squirrell cage fan in the first place and they are 100times more powerful. if you just hook that boat fan up to a wall outlet it won't trip your breaker, it will just fry the fan!

Get a 4" vortex fan and a speed controler.In your small area that fan will be all you need.That fan has a 5 year warranty and there great.Quiet working and you wont have to worry about it not moveing the air.Those 12 voit DC fan dont have the static pressure the can fans do.The 6" vortex fan Has 449 cfm, .09 amps, 10 watts, 2600 rpm and dba 49.The static pressure is 0.84 in water.The fan pulls air 3'feet through the light {400w}through about 6' of duct through the fan and pushes out through 6" air conditioner flex duct about 47'feet to the outside vent.I dont have any heat problems with this fan.You can get a 4" vortex at PLANTLIGHTHYDROPONICS.COM for around $110.00 plus shipping.They are the cheapes on fans I know about.
Good luck with your project.

Im not sure but I think he meant plantlightinghydroponics.com

i already linked that site for you on this thread:

u wont blow a fuse but u will burn up the fan. u need a ac adaptor like the kind u use for a game system or wireless phone.
