How to Wire a Little Giant 7200 Power Fan Kit

Many incubation newcomers begin with the Little Giant 9200 still-air incubator because of its reasonable cost. Because there is no air circulation inside such incubators, temperatures tend to stratify, with colder temperatures on the bottom of the incubator near the eggs and warmer temperatures on the top. According to the Virginia Cooperative Extension at Virginia Tech, there can be as much as a 5-degree difference from the top of the incubator to the bottom. Installation of the Little Giant 7200 power fan kit makes it easier to control both temperature and humidity, which could result in better hatch rates.
