Rectorseal M10685 Direct Drive Blower Motor 1/3 Hp

Product Description

The RECTORSEAL M10685 is a direct drive blower motor rated at 1/3 HP and designed for continuous-duty HVAC air handler and furnace blower applications. This PSC (permanent split capacitor) motor operates on 115 volts, single phase, at 1075 RPM with an RPM range of 925 to 1200. It features an open air-over (OAO) enclosure suited for airstream-cooled blower wheel installations. The motor runs in reverse rotation and includes automatic thermal protection, which cycles the motor off if it reaches unsafe operating temperatures and resets once it cools. Licensed HVAC technicians typically select this motor as an OEM-style replacement in residential and light commercial forced-air systems.

This motor is intended for direct drive blower assemblies in central air handlers, fan coil units, and gas or electric furnace blower sections. It is well suited for residential and light commercial installations where a 1/3 HP, 6-pole, single-phase PSC motor with sleeve bearings is specified. The continuous-duty rating makes it appropriate for systems that run extended cycles, including multi-stage and constant-fan operation modes common in modern residential HVAC.

Key Features

• 1/3 HP continuous-duty rating for sustained blower operation
• PSC motor type delivers efficient, quiet single-phase operation
• Automatic thermal protection prevents motor burnout during overload conditions
• OAO enclosure designed for airstream cooling in direct drive blower applications
• Reverse rotation configuration matches common blower wheel orientations
• RPM range of 925 to 1200 with a nominal speed of 1075 RPM

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style direct drive replacement motor for residential and light commercial HVAC air handler and furnace blower assemblies requiring a 1/3 HP, 115-volt, 6-pole, single-phase PSC motor with sleeve bearings and reverse rotation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician. Disconnect and lock out all electrical power to the air handler or furnace before removing the existing motor or accessing the blower assembly. Confirm shaft diameter, mounting configuration, and rotation direction match the application before installation. Follow all applicable local codes and manufacturer wiring diagrams when making electrical connections.
