Approximately 19" diameter

Can you expand further as to why the flex fan is a no-go? I have a 7 blade fan hanging in the garage that is the same diameter as the flex fan, just not sure if it is the correct OE fan for this application. Any suggestions on identifying the correct OE fan for this? And I hear a lot of talk...
