Reznor 148055 Venter Motor

The Reznor 148055 Venter Motor is the verified OEM replacement motor for the Reznor 097738, engineered specifically for gas-fired unit heaters. This 115V venter motor operates at 3000 RPM (with some technical data indicating 3300 RPM performance benchmarks) and features a 1/33 HP output, making it critical for maintaining precise combustion airflow and induced draft efficiency. As a genuine Magnetek motor replacement (specifically matching JA1M213N and FT100/125 specifications), it utilizes a CWSE rotation (Clockwise Shaft End) and a 3.3-inch diameter frame for a direct drop-in fit. Built with a robust sleeve bearing system and Class B insulation, this motor is designed to withstand the high-cycling demands and thermal stress of commercial and industrial HVAC environments. Technicians should verify that the 5/16" x 2" shaft dimensions align with the existing blower wheel or fan blade to ensure vibration-free operation and system longevity.

• Exact OEM Compatibility: Serves as the official replacement for Reznor 097738, ensuring the electrical leads and mounting points match factory standards without field modifications.
• High-Torque Performance: The 1/33 HP Magnetek motor provides the necessary static pressure to vent combustion gases safely.
• Direct Fitment: Designed for specific Reznor series including FE and BE units, minimizing labor time during emergency service calls.
• Industrial Construction: Features CWSE rotation and a durable housing that resists the harsh conditions of a furnace venter assembly.

• Is the Reznor 148055 compatible with my unit? This motor replaces Reznor part number 097738 and fits many FT and FE model gas-fired heaters. Always check your specific unit's parts list to confirm.
• What are the electrical specs for this motor? It is a 115V, 60Hz, 1-phase motor drawing approximately 1.25 Amps.
• Why does the label say 3000 RPM while some specs say 3300 RPM? Some OEM production runs for the 148055 have been noted for tag discrepancies; however, the motor is engineered to provide the correct induced draft performance required for Reznor equipment.
