Carrier LA680026 Blower Wheel
The Carrier LA680026 Blower Wheel is a precision-engineered centrifugal fan component designed specifically for replacement in high-output Carrier, Bryant, and Payne package units. This double inlet blower wheel features a convex rim and staggered blade construction to optimize airflow profiles and minimize operational decibel levels. With dimensions of 10 x 10 inches and a 1/2 inch bore, it ensures a tight tolerance fit on the motor shaft, preventing the vibration-induced fatigue often found in aftermarket alternatives. As an OEM replacement part, it handles high static pressure requirements across various HVAC blower assembly configurations. The balanced forward curve blades are secured with heavy-duty hub setscrews for long-term mechanical stability. When diagnosing restricted airflow or excessive cabinet noise, replacing a warped or fouled HVAC blower wheel with this genuine LA680026 maintains the factory-specified CFM delivery and protects the heat exchanger from overheating due to insufficient air across the coil.
Key Benefits- Oversized Hub Design: Features a 1/2" diameter bore with a reinforced hub to prevent slipping on the motor shaft during high-torque startups.
- Optimized Airflow: The 10-inch diameter and 10-inch width configuration provides consistent cubic feet per minute (CFM) even in high-static environments.
- Corrosion Resistance: Constructed from galvanized steel to resist moisture buildup and oxidation within the air handler unit.
- OEM Balancing: Factory-balanced to eliminate rotational vibration, extending the service life of blower motor bearings.
- Direct Compatibility: Engineered for seamless integration into Carrier furnace parts and package unit blower housings without modification.
What are the exact dimensions of the LA680026?
This wheel measures 10 inches in diameter and 10 inches in width, utilizing a 1/2-inch center bore for the motor shaft connection.
Will this blower wheel fix a vibrating furnace?
If the existing wheel is out of balance, has missing clips, or bent blades, installing a factory-balanced Carrier LA680026 will restore smooth operation and reduce mechanical noise.
Is the hub facing the correct direction for my motor?
This is a double inlet blower wheel with a hub designed for standard residential and light commercial package unit motor shafts. Always verify the rotation matches your motor's lead configuration.
