Heil Quaker ICP 1170652 Blower Wheel

Install the Heil Quaker ICP 1170652 Blower Wheel to restore balanced airflow in International Comfort Products (ICP) residential and light commercial systems. This 10x6 blower wheel is an OEM-spec replacement featuring a 1/2" bore and precision-engineered blades designed for counter-clockwise (CCW) rotation. When technical issues like high-frequency vibration or scraping sounds occur, a bent or out-of-balance squirrel cage blower is often the culprit. Replacing a compromised wheel protects the motor from bearing failure and mitigates amp draw spikes that lead to short-cycling. Built from durable materials, this wheel is compatible with internal brands including Tempstar, Comfortmaker, and Heil. As a veteran technician knows, maintaining the correct HVAC blower wheel replacement size is critical for static pressure balance; a 10" diameter by 6" width provides the exact surface area required for optimal CFM output in spec-matched air handlers and furnaces.

• OEM Compatibility: Precision-fit for ICP 1170652, ensuring seamless integration with the motor shaft and housing.
• Static Pressure Efficiency: Optimized blade pitch maintains HVAC airflow and prevents regional hot spots or evaporator coil freezing.
• Vibration Dampening: Factory-balanced construction reduces mechanical stress on the blower motor and prevents rattling.
• Corrosion Resistance: High-grade finish resists pitting and debris buildup common in high-humidity cooling cycles.

How do I confirm the rotation of my existing blower wheel?
View the wheel from the hub/shaft side; if it turns counter-clockwise to move air, this CCW blower wheel is the correct match. Check the directional arrow on the original housing or motor plate to ensure compatibility before installation.

What causes a 10x6 blower wheel to fail?
The most frequent causes are heavy dust accumulation leading to an unbalanced state, or a loose set screw causing the 1/2 inch bore hub to strip. If you observe 1/10th of an inch of dust, your airflow efficiency has likely dropped by 20%, requiring immediate replacement to avoid motor burnout.

Will this fit other brands besides Heil?
Yes, this ICP furnace part is the standard replacement for most International Comfort Products sub-brands, including Arcoaire, Keeprite, and Day & Night, provided the part number or physical dimensions match.
