United Pacific 12V Chrome Cabin Fan 6" Blade — All-Metal, 2-Speed, Adjustable Swivel Base

The United Pacific 40848 is a polished, all-metal 12V cabin fan with a 6-inch blade, two speeds and an adjustable swivel base for targeted airflow in cars, trucks, RVs, and vans.

Built with more than three decades of automotive experience behind the design, this heavy-duty chrome fan blends classic styling with practical performance. It’s intended as a hard-mounted interior ventilation solution for vintage and utility vehicles that need focused air circulation, defogging assistance, or simply a period-appropriate upgrade to cabin comfort. The fan ships complete with a mounting pad and hardware; professional or DIY wiring is required for operation.

How does this fan improve ventilation inside a vehicle?

The 40848 moves cabin air with a 6-inch all-metal blade driven by a high-efficiency magnetic motor. Two speed settings let you choose gentle circulation or stronger airflow for quick ventilating or defogging. Its steel cage protects the blade while allowing steady, quiet operation.

• 6" metal blade for effective air movement
• High and low speed settings for adjustable airflow
• Magnetic motor designed for quieter, longer operation
• Protective steel cage for safety and durability

Where can I mount the fan and what tools are needed?

The fan’s compact footprint and supplied mounting pad make it adaptable for dash tops, overhead consoles, side panels, or other interior surfaces. A simple drill and basic hand tools are typically all that’s required; wiring must be completed to integrate the fan with your vehicle’s 12V system.

How adjustable is the airflow direction?

• Ball-swivel base for up/down and left/right adjustment
• Smooth movement that holds the selected position
• Heavy-duty steel construction for long-term stability
