Fasco a120 Draft Inducer Motor 1/40 Hp 115V 2-speed

Product Description

The FASCO a120 is a 2-speed shaded pole draft inducer motor rated at 1/40 HP and 3000 RPM, designed for residential and light commercial gas heating applications. Operating on 115 volts at 1.14 amps and 60 Hz, this single-phase motor uses ball bearings for reliable continuous-duty performance. It features clockwise rotation, an open enclosure, and Class B insulation with thermal overload protection. The a120 is CSA and UL listed, making it suitable for code-compliant installations. Licensed HVAC technicians install this motor as part of draft inducer or combustion air blower assemblies in forced-draft gas furnaces and boilers.

The FASCO a120 is used in forced-draft heating systems where consistent combustion air movement is required. Its 2-speed operation allows compatibility with systems that stage airflow for efficient draft induction. The rectangular outlet shape and open enclosure are consistent with OEM draft inducer assemblies. This motor is a direct replacement for the Aladdin Steel OEM unit, part number 7002-2983, making it a reliable service replacement for technicians working on that equipment.
