Rheem 51-110440-01 Direct Drive Blower Motor 1/3 Hp

Product Description

The RHEEM 51-110440-01 is a direct drive blower motor rated at 1/3 horsepower, manufactured by Broad Ocean for use in residential HVAC air handling equipment. Direct drive motors connect directly to the blower wheel without a belt or pulley system, reducing mechanical complexity and maintenance requirements. This motor is a purpose-built OEM replacement component designed to restore proper airflow performance in compatible Rheem and Ruud systems. Licensed HVAC technicians and experienced service contractors are the primary installers of this type of component.

Direct drive blower motors at this horsepower rating are commonly found in residential gas furnaces, air handlers, and packaged units where the motor is mounted within the blower housing assembly. The 1/3 HP rating is typical for single-zone residential systems with moderate static pressure requirements. This motor is sold as an individual unit and is intended for system restoration where the original motor has failed due to bearing wear, winding failure, or thermal overload.
