Rheem 70-101323-45 Fan Blade 22in 20deg 3-blade 1/2in Bore

Product Description

The RHEEM 70-101323-45 is a 3-blade condenser or air handler fan blade engineered for use in forced-air HVAC systems. It measures 22 inches in diameter with a 20-degree pitch and accepts a 1/2-inch bore shaft, making it a direct-fit replacement for units originally equipped with this blade assembly. The pitch angle and blade count determine airflow volume and motor load, so installing the correct replacement is critical to maintaining system efficiency and preventing motor overload. Licensed HVAC technicians typically handle this replacement during seasonal maintenance or after blade damage from debris impact.

This fan blade is suited for residential and light commercial condensing units and air handlers where a 22-inch, 3-blade configuration is specified by the original equipment design. It is sold as a single unit and is appropriate for rooftop, split-system, or packaged equipment applications that call out this blade geometry. Always verify shaft diameter and rotation direction before ordering to confirm fitment.

Key Features

• 22-inch diameter provides broad airflow coverage appropriate for mid-size condensing units
• 20-degree blade pitch balances airflow volume with motor load requirements
• 1/2-inch bore fits standard fractional-horsepower condenser fan motor shafts
• 3-blade design delivers consistent, low-turbulence airflow across the coil face
• Sold individually for single-blade replacement or full assembly rebuilds

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement fan blade for RHEEM and PROTECH-designated HVAC equipment requiring a 22-inch diameter, 3-blade, 20-degree pitch fan blade with a 1/2-inch bore. Confirm rotation direction and hub style against the existing assembly before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician. Disconnect and lock out all electrical power to the unit before accessing the fan compartment. Verify blade rotation direction marked on the hub matches the original equipment specification, as reversed pitch will reduce airflow and can overheat the compressor. Secure the set screw to the motor shaft flat and confirm blade tip clearance within the fan shroud before restoring power.
