Heil Quaker ICP 1172251 Motor
The Heil Quaker ICP 1172251 Motor is a high-performance 1/5 HP condenser fan motor designed for direct-drive applications in residential and light commercial condensing units. As a veteran-grade HVAC replacement motor, this unit operates at 1075 RPM on a single-speed configuration, drawing 1.08 Amps at 208-230V. Built on a standard 48 NEMA frame size, it features a 1/2-inch diameter shaft and thru-bolt mounting, ensuring a precise fit for ICP HVAC equipment including Heil, Tempstar, and Comfortmaker models. This Permanent Split Capacitor (PSC) motor requires a 3 MFD at 370 VAC capacitor for optimal startup torque and efficiency. With a clockwise (CW) rotation and sleeve bearing design, it provides reliable condenser fan motor replacement performance even in high-ambient outdoor conditions. Technicians should verify fan blade pitch and balance during installation to prevent premature bearing wear and ensure continuous air-over cooling for the motor housing.
Key Benefits- OEM Compatibility: Exact drop-in replacement for ICP 1172251, fitting common 48-frame condenser brackets without modification.
- Optimized Efficiency: The PSC motor design reduces energy consumption while maintaining the 1075 RPM required for proper head pressure control.
- Thermal Protection: Features internal thermal overload protection to prevent winding failure during restricted airflow or high-static conditions.
- Secure Mounting: Thru-bolt mount configuration allows for easy vertical or horizontal installation in varied cabinet designs.
- Standardized Specs: Uses a 1/5 HP rating at 230V, matching the original factory air-over cooling requirements for long-term reliability.
What capacitor is required for the Heil Quaker 1172251?
This motor requires a 3 MFD / 370 VAC capacitor. Using an incorrectly sized capacitor can lead to overheating, increased amp draw, and shortened service life.
Is this motor reversible?
No, this specific model is hard-wired for Clockwise (CW) rotation. Always confirm the rotation of your existing fan blade before ordering to ensure proper airflow direction.
Can I use this to replace a 1/4 HP motor?
While the frame size may match, you should always match the horsepower rating of the original equipment. A 1/5 HP motor may not provide sufficient torque for a fan blade designed for a 1/4 HP motor, potentially leading to motor burnout.
