Heil Quaker ICP 1172969 Blower Housing

The Heil Quaker ICP 1172969 Blower Housing is a critical structural component designed for high-static pressure furnace and air handler applications. Engineered for precise fitment within ICP HVAC equipment, this heavy-gauge steel housing stabilizes the blower wheel to ensure laminar airflow and reduced vibration across the heat exchanger. Technicians often source this OEM replacement blower assembly part when experiencing housing fatigue or resonant noise issues. It is compatible with various Heil, Comfortmaker, and Tempstar forced-air systems, providing the necessary clearance for standard PSC or ECM blower motors. Installing a genuine 1172969 housing prevents the air bypass and static pressure drops common with aftermarket shrouds. When performing a furnace blower motor replacement, verifying the housing’s integrity is essential for maintaining system CFM ratings and preventing premature motor bearing failure caused by imbalanced airflow distribution within the scroll.

Key Benefits

• Precision-formed scroll geometry optimizes transitions from the wheel to the supply plenum for maximum static efficiency.
• Heavy-duty galvanized steel construction prevents corrosion and resists structural bowing under high torque.
• Direct OEM compatibility ensures mounting holes align perfectly with the laboratory-tested discharge pattern of ICP air handlers.
• Minimizes harmonic vibration and operational decibels by providing a rigid foundation for the motor mounting bracket.

Common Questions

Does this housing include the blower wheel or motor?
No, this is the blower housing scroll only; the squirrel cage wheel and motor must be transferred or sourced separately.

How do I confirm if this fits my Heil or Tempstar unit?
Cross-reference the 1172969 part number against your unit’s data plate; it is frequently found in mid-to-high efficiency Heil Quaker gas furnaces.

Can I use this to fix a rattling noise in my furnace?
If the noise is caused by a warped or cracked shroud, replacing the blower housing will restore proper clearance and eliminate mechanical interference.
