Carrier LA01RA042 Fan Blade
The Carrier LA01RA042 Fan Blade is a high-performance 3-blade condenser fan propeller engineered for precise airflow management in residential and light commercial HVAC systems. This genuine OEM Carrier replacement part features a 24-inch diameter and a 22-degree pitch, specifically designed to maintain optimal static pressure across condenser coils. Constructed from durable, high-grade plastic, this condenser fan propeller provides exceptional resistance to corrosion and environmental fatigue, ensuring long-term structural integrity in outdoor units. It utilizes a 1/2-inch bore for secure mounting and is balanced to deliver a clockwise (CW) rotation, effectively eliminating vibration and reducing mechanical strain on the fan motor. For technicians performing HVAC system repairs, the LA01RA042 ensures factory-spec heat transfer efficiency and quiet operation. Integrating this direct replacement fan blade into Carrier, Bryant, and Payne air conditioners or heat pumps restores original equipment performance levels while protecting the compressor from overheating due to airflow restriction.
Key Benefits- Optimized Airflow: The 22-degree pitch is calibrated to move maximum CFM with minimal drag, improving overall energy efficiency.
- OEM Compatibility: Precision-engineered for a seamless fit in a wide range of Carrier and Bryant outdoor condensing units.
- Enhanced Durability: Rugged plastic construction resists the pitting and corrosion often found in aluminum blades in coastal or high-humidity environments.
- Vibration Reduction: Factory-balanced 3-blade design minimizes shaft oscillation, extending the life of the fan motor bearings.
What is the rotation direction for the LA01RA042?
This fan blade is designed for clockwise (CW) rotation when viewing the propeller from the discharge side (shaft front).
What are the physical dimensions required for installation?
It features a 24-inch outer diameter and is designed to fit a standard 1/2-inch motor shaft.
Can this blade be used in heat pump applications?
Yes, as long as the technical specifications (diameter, pitch, and rotation) match the original equipment manufacturer’s requirements for the specific heat pump model.
