    Default Mason 2x3

    Does anyone have a 2x3 mason evap with the blower option? I want to add a blower to mine. I'm looking for the information stamped on the blowers data plate. Alternately, What is the cfm for the blower?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    i have a 2x4 with blower, i purchased the blower from mason, and put a "dimmer" switch on it, made a dramatic difference in getting the temp up not sure what cfm it is but can find out tonight. without switch it would have melted my stack, i know some say do not put dimmer on it only use a rheostat, because the dimmers can damage the blower but i have not had a issue. i thought all of mason evap are set up so you can install a blower mine came set up from mason.i think it was well worth the extra cost.

    Thanks Bowtie, I look forward to hearing from you.
    The ash pan needs to be cutout for the blower discharge. I have a plasma cutter I can borrow to make the cut. Yours is mounted on the back side correct?

    Did you ever get the blower cfm for Your Mason 2x3? I’m looking to add a blower to my setup and want to size it correctly. Thanks.

    I have a Mason 2x4 XL and here is a picture of the motor label. Probably not all the information you need but it might be a start. Let me know if I can take anymore pictures that will help.

    I believe this is 146 cfm blower....how does it work with your set up? I have a 2x3 evaporator and I ordered a 100 cfm blower. I’m hoping it’s enough to do the trick.

    I could use a pic of the wiring of your blower.
