Regal Rexnord a248 Draft Inducer Motor 120V 3250RPM

Product Description

The REGAL REXNORD a248 is a draft inducer motor designed to move combustion air through residential and light commercial gas furnace heat exchangers. Running at 3250 RPM on 120 volts, this motor drives the inducer blower assembly that establishes negative pressure in the flue path before and during burner operation. It is a direct-replacement component installed by licensed HVAC technicians during furnace service or system repair. The a248 is sized for typical forced-air heating applications where reliable flue gas evacuation is critical to safe furnace operation.

Draft inducer motors like the a248 are used in induced-draft and power-vent gas furnaces. The motor mounts to the inducer housing and spins the impeller that pulls combustion gases through the heat exchanger and out the flue. This part is appropriate for residential forced-air heating systems and light commercial units that require a 120-volt single-phase inducer motor operating at 3250 RPM. Installation typically occurs during a furnace no-heat call when the existing inducer motor has failed or shows signs of bearing wear, overheating, or reduced airflow.

Key Features

• Operates at 120 volts for compatibility with standard residential furnace control circuits
• 3250 RPM motor speed delivers consistent combustion air flow through the heat exchanger
• Direct-replacement design simplifies swap-out during furnace service calls
• Suitable for induced-draft gas furnace applications in residential and light commercial settings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement inducer motor for induced-draft and power-vent gas furnaces requiring a 120-volt, 3250 RPM draft inducer motor.

Installation Notes

Installation of draft inducer motors should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician in accordance with local mechanical codes and the furnace manufacturer's service documentation. Always shut off power at the disconnect and close the gas supply valve before removing the inducer assembly. Verify motor rotation direction and impeller fit before securing the housing. Confirm all electrical connections are properly seated and the flue path is clear before restoring power and cycling the furnace.
