I have this blower - but where do I find the 4 speed, 9 Amp switch, or should I build one, or hard wire it to the best setting after flowhood is built? Have asked FP as well, but they don't list it. It is the same as Grainger 1XJY1, but they don't seem to have such a switch either.
wire connections as follows
purple common wire -- to line black-1 yellow-2 orange-3 red-4 brown ground brown ground
(I don't know why there are 2 grounds)
Specs as follows:
1/2 Horsepower Blower--1654 CFM @ 1" SP Item #: EAFB4 - See more at: http://www.fungi.com/product-detail/product/12-horsepower-blower-1654-cfm-1-sp.html#sthash.QwYjpv0R.dpuf 4-speed, 115V/60Hz blower, maximum 1,654 CFM at 1" static pressure. Draws 9 amps. ….. Also ideal for blowing air into 2 x 4 foot HEPA filters (use highest speed). Note: not for free air delivery. Must be used with at least .8" static pressure (all of Fungi Perfecti's HEPA filters are 1" static pressure). -
Blower, Assembled, Double Inlet Forward Curve, Direct Drive, With Motor, 4 Speed, Wheel Dia 11 In, CFM Range 1857 to 622 @ 0.800-In SP to 1.25-In SP, Max Inlet Temp 104 Deg F, Voltage 115, 60 Hz, Single Phase, Motor HP 1/2,

I hate to say Grangier, but they may have it. They are $$$ though.

Just hardwire it later. Don't forget to tape the unused wires. RR

I just have to say thanks to RR, because of one of his posts I was able to make sense of the electrical diagram and got my blower hooked up!

The highest setting will be more than enough for a 2x4 fp filter.Is that what ur blowing thru? We have built out several of these for folks. We use the same blower and like rr said we just hard wired it to highest setting; no need for a switch. It is still a bit too much blower so we use a thick prefilter and it is perfect.

Good idea, to use a thick pre filter I could use some flow hood filters(about 1.5 inches thick) I already have from from ebay that are unspecified as part of my prefilter, as due to their lack of specitication I don't trust them for the output.
For the output a 99.99% Filtera 24" x 36" seems big enough.
Does it matter if the frame is metal or wood? And I would guess a header makes construction easier?

Thanks RR
I will definitely tape unused wires.
And I believe, now that I have looked at the unit again, that the 2 brown wires go to the capacitor and are not grounds, as I previously thought from looking at the printout.
So am I correct, in thinking, that if I use a three prong plug, the ground wire would be attached to the "chassis"?

Correct. The brown wires should be already connected to the capacitor. The white wire on the cord goes to the white wire on the motor. The black wire on the cord goes to any speed wire. Green to chassis. RR

--------YUP that's exactly what they do
RR
The white wire on the cord goes to the white wire on the motor. RR
But on this particular unit there is no white - the diagram shows
purple-common wire -- to line black-1 yellow-2 orange-3 red-4 brown-capacitor brown-capacitor
so white must go to purple
RR
The black wire on the cord goes to any speed wire. Green to chassis. RR
Green to chassis for grounding ----- Thanks RR
