A 162 mm wire guard designed for 172 mm fans.

✅ Fan Size and Fit

Why Choose the GardTec SC162-W5 Fan Guard?

The GardTec SC162-W5 is a 162 mm wire form guard designed for compatible 172 mm cooling fans. It helps reduce accidental contact with the fan blades while allowing cooling air to pass through its rounded rings.

The C1008 steel guard has ten rings, two mounting positions, and a bright nickel chrome finish. Qualtek 08126 is listed as a cross reference, so mounting dimensions should be checked when selecting a replacement.
