Diversitech RBW50211 Double Inlet Blower Wheel 5.75 in Ccw

Product Description

The DIVERSITECH RBW50211 is a double inlet blower wheel designed for use in forced-air HVAC systems where reliable airflow performance and durable construction are required. Built from galvanized steel, this wheel measures 5.75 inches in diameter with a 0.5 inch bore and rotates in a counterclockwise (CCW) direction when viewed from the drive side. Double inlet wheels draw air from both sides of the housing, delivering balanced airflow suited to residential and light commercial air handler and furnace blower assemblies. HVAC technicians install this component during blower motor rebuilds or direct wheel replacements.

This blower wheel is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC applications where a 5.75 inch double inlet wheel with a 0.5 inch bore and CCW rotation is specified. Typical install scenarios include air handler blower sections, furnace blower compartments, and fan coil units. Always verify rotation direction and bore size against the existing assembly before ordering.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement blower wheel for residential and light commercial HVAC air handlers and furnaces requiring a 5.75 inch double inlet CCW wheel with a 0.5 inch bore.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician. Disconnect and lock out power to the air handler or furnace before removing the blower assembly. Confirm shaft rotation direction, bore size, and wheel diameter match the housing specifications before installing the replacement wheel. Secure the set screw to the motor shaft flat and verify the wheel spins freely without contacting the housing before restoring power.
