Reznor 1012961 Ventor Motor

The Reznor 1012961 Ventor Motor is a high-performance 1/5 HP draft inducer motor engineered for critical combustion air management in mid-to-high efficiency HVACR systems. Operating at 208-230V and a sustained 3200 RPM, this PSC (Permanent Split Capacitor) motor ensures the necessary static pressure to close pressure switches and safely exhaust flue gases. It features a NEMA 3.3 frame, a 1/2-inch flat shaft, and is designed for an Open Air Over (OAO) duty cycle. As a technical professional, you know that maintaining the correct combustion draft is essential for system reliability; this OEM replacement motor is the direct substitute for legacy part numbers 196830 and 196829. With automatic thermal overload protection and a CCWOSE rotation, it provides a drop-in solution for Reznor unit heaters that require precise 60Hz single-phase performance. Relying on genuine Reznor heating parts ensures the equipment maintains its original certification and matches the factory-specified airflow performance during the ignition sequence.

Key Benefits

• Direct OEM Compatibility: Engineered as the exact replacement for Reznor 196830 and 196829, ensuring precise physical mounting and electrical alignment.
• High-Speed Combustion Control: The 3200 RPM rating provides consistent negative pressure to prevent pressure switch nuisance trips and system lockouts.
• Industrial Build Quality: Features permanently lubricated bearings and thermal protection to handle the high-heat environment of a power venter assembly.
• Optimized Efficiency: The 1/5 HP 208-230V motor design minimizes amperage draw while delivering the torque needed for specialized flat-shaft fan blades.

Common Questions

Is this motor compatible with 115V systems?
No, this is a dedicated 208-230V component. Installing this on a 115V circuit will result in insufficient torque and potential motor failure.

Does this unit include the required capacitor?
Yes, typical 1012961 ventor assemblies include the necessary run capacitor and leads to ensure the PSC motor starts under load correctly.

Can I use this motor to replace a lower RPM inducer?
It is critical to match the 3200 RPM specification exactly. Using a motor with different speed ratings can lead to improper flue gas venting or pressure switch failure.
