Rcd la11xa045 Draft Inducer Blower Wheel 4.5 in Cw

Product Description

The RCD la11xa045 is a steel draft inducer blower wheel designed to maintain steady combustion airflow in gas furnace systems. With a 4.5-inch diameter, clockwise rotation, and a rated speed of 3400 RPM, this wheel delivers the consistent draft performance required for proper furnace operation. Machined to OEM tolerances, it seats without wobble or imbalance, restoring designed airflow volume and preventing pressure drop across the inducer assembly. Licensed HVAC technicians install this part as a direct replacement when the original wheel shows signs of wear, corrosion, or physical damage.

The la11xa045 is intended for residential gas furnace applications where a draft inducer motor assembly requires a replacement blower wheel. It fits furnace systems that rely on a powered inducer to establish and maintain flue gas exhaust prior to ignition. The clockwise rotation and 4.5-inch diameter are the defining application parameters; confirming both before installation is essential to ensure correct airflow direction and volume through the heat exchanger and venting system.

Key Features

• 4.5-inch diameter steel construction for durability in high-temperature flue gas environments
• Clockwise rotation matches OEM inducer motor shaft direction
• 3400 RPM rating supports consistent combustion draft performance
• OEM-tolerance fit prevents wheel wobble and maintains rotational balance
• Steel material resists deformation under sustained heat cycling

Compatibility

Compatible models include 58RAV075 C 101GC, 58SSC075 110JC, and 58DHC055 C 110EC. Confirm diameter, rotation direction, and shaft bore dimensions against the original wheel before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician. Shut off all electrical power and gas supply to the furnace before disassembling the inducer motor assembly. Verify rotation direction and shaft bore fit before securing the wheel to the motor shaft. Follow all applicable local mechanical codes and manufacturer service instructions during reassembly.
