G.D. Supply 1386 Mounting Kit
The G.D. Supply 1386 Mounting Kit is a heavy-duty solution for securing a direct drive blower motor to the flat side of blower housings. Engineered for a 5-inch motor diameter, this kit features a robust 3-ring blower mount design with a 9-inch bolt circle to ensure structural stability and precise alignment. It includes vibration-reducing rubber isolators and administrative hardware to effectively decouple the motor from the furnace or air handler casing, significantly dampening harmonics and operational noise.
For service technicians working on legacy equipment, this kit provides a critical advantage: it includes extra hardware for Janitrol units. This specialty hardware allows for the seamless retrofitting of a standard 5" motor into older Janitrol furnace blowers, eliminating the need for hard-to-find OEM-specific mounts. Each kit is individually packed with comprehensive instructions and all necessary clamp-on brackets, making it a reliable choice for field repairs where motor stabilization and standard motor compatibility are required in residential or commercial air handling applications.

- Universal 5-Inch Fit: Precision-designed for 5" diameter blower motors with a standard 9" bolt circle.
- Secure Attachment: Rugged clamp-on brackets ensure a rigid connection to flat blower housing surfaces.
- All-In-One Kit: Ships with all necessary hardware and installation instructions for immediate field use.
Common Questions
Will this hardware work for a 5.5-inch diameter motor?
No, this specific kit is machined for 5-inch diameter motors. Using it on 5.5-inch (48 frame) motors will result in improper tension and potential failure.
Is this kit required for a standard furnace motor replacement?
If your current brackets are bent, corroded, or if you are upgrading a Janitrol unit to a standard motor, this 1386 mounting kit is essential for proper motor stabilization.
Does this include the rubber grommets?
Yes, the kit includes the mounting rubbers and screws required to isolate the motor from the blower housing effectively.
