Lau 02895808 Blower Wheel

The Lau 02895808 Blower Wheel is a precision-engineered double inlet centrifugal fan wheel designed for high-velocity direct drive blower applications. Measuring 4 3/4" diameter by 5 1/8" width with a 1/2" bore, this component is built to withstand rigorous duty cycles in residential and commercial air handlers. Rated for a 3450 max RPM, the wheel features a clockwise (CW) rotation viewed from the drive end, ensuring optimal static pressure performance. As a veteran-grade HVAC replacement part, it utilizes a forward-curved blade design to maximize cubic feet per minute (CFM) while maintaining structural integrity under high centrifugal force. Whether you are servicing a furnace, a fan coil unit, or specialized industrial ventilation equipment, this double inlet blower wheel provides the balanced airflow required to prevent motor strain and ensure system efficiency. The galvanized steel construction resists corrosion, making it a reliable choice for technical field replacements where OEM specifications are mandatory.

Key Benefits for Contractors

• High-Speed Stability: Engineered to handle up to 3450 RPM without blade deformation or excessive vibration.
• Optimized Airflow: The double inlet configuration ensures uniform air distribution across the heat exchanger or cooling coil.
• Exact Fitment: Features a standard 1/2 inch bore size for seamless integration with direct drive motors.
• Precision Balancing: Factory-balanced to reduce harmonic noise and extend the bearing life of the blower motor.
• Industrial Durability: Robust metal construction designed for long-term deployment in demanding HVAC ventilation systems.

Common Questions

What is the correct way to determine the rotation for this Lau wheel?
For the Lau 02895808, the CW rotation is determined by looking at the wheel from the hub/drive side. Always verify the motor rotation matches the wheel pitch to prevent airflow cavitation and motor overheating.

Can this wheel be used in belt-drive applications?
This specific model is designed for direct drive systems. Using it in a belt-drive application may lead to mounting inconsistencies or performance drops if the shaft speeds and torque requirements do not align with the 3450 RPM rating.

Is the hub included with this blower wheel?
Yes, this wheel features a built-in hub with a 1/2" bore and set screw, designed to secure directly onto the motor shaft for immediate installation during service calls.
