Heil Quaker ICP 1013831 Blower Vent

The Heil Quaker ICP 1013831 Blower Vent is a critical OEM replacement draft inducer designed specifically for 80% AFUE gas furnaces. This 2-stage inducer motor assembly ensures precise venting of combustion gases, facilitating safe and efficient furnace operation during both low and high-fire heating cycles. Engineered to meet the exact specifications of International Comfort Products (ICP), the 1013831 blower vent motor operates at 115V and 3000 RPM, providing the consistent static pressure required to engage pressure switches and maintain system safety. As a direct replacement for various Heil, Quaker, and Tempstar models, the ICP 1013831 inducer addresses common failure points such as seized bearings or cracked housings that lead to noisy operation and system lockouts. This 80+ 2-stage blower vent is balanced to minimize vibration, extending the service life of the motor and surrounding components. For technicians performing furnace repair, this assembly offers a drop-in fit, ensuring proper alignment with the exhaust flue and combustion chamber gaskets.

• Optimized Performance: Purpose-built for 80% AFUE 2-stage furnaces to ensure proper drafting across all firing rates.
• Direct OEM Fit: Eliminates the need for field modifications, ensuring 1013831 compatibility with original ICP mounting brackets and wiring harnesses.
• Quiet Operation: Precision-balanced blower wheel reduces harmonic resonance and mechanical noise during operation.
• System Security: Provides the necessary CFM to reliably close pressure switches and prevent nuisance ignition failures.
• Durable Construction: High-grade materials designed to withstand the corrosive environment of flue gas exhaust.

Is the 1013831 compatible with single-stage furnaces?
No, this is a 2-stage blower vent motor specifically designed for furnaces with dual firing rates. Using this on a single-stage unit may lead to improper venting and pressure switch issues.

Does this assembly include the necessary gaskets?
Standard ICP 1013831 replacements typically require a fresh housing gasket for a proper seal. It is recommended to verify the gasket condition or source a new one to prevent flue gas leakage at the mounting surface.

What are the signs that my current inducer motor is failing?
Common indicators include high-pitched screeching (bearing wear), a humming sound without the motor turning, or the furnace failing to ignite due to an open pressure switch circuit.
