Ao Smith 322 Shaded Pole Motor 1/25 Hp 115V 1550 Rpm

Product Description

The AO SMITH 322 is a shaded pole motor rated at 1/25 horsepower and designed for single-phase, 115-volt AC applications. Running at 1550 RPM and drawing 1.4 amps, this motor operates in a 4.3 frame size with an open-air enclosure and sleeve bearing construction. Counterclockwise rotation is measured from the lead end. HVAC technicians and equipment service pros install this motor in low-torque, continuously running applications where compact size and reliable low-speed operation are required.

This motor is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC equipment, including evaporator fan assemblies, draft inducers, and other auxiliary blower applications that demand a compact, low-horsepower shaded pole design. Its single-speed, open-air configuration makes it a direct-fit replacement in equipment that specifies a 4.3 frame shaded pole motor with a 7.25-inch shaft and 0.5-inch shaft diameter.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement shaded pole motor for residential and light commercial HVAC equipment specifying a 4.3 frame, 1/25 HP, 115-volt, 1550 RPM single-phase motor with a 7.25-inch by 0.5-inch shaft.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician. Disconnect and lock out all power to the equipment before removing the existing motor or making any wiring connections. Confirm shaft rotation direction and mounting orientation match the original equipment requirements before securing the motor. Follow applicable local codes and manufacturer service instructions when replacing motors in HVAC assemblies.
