Reznor 96380 Fan Blade

The Reznor 96380 Fan Blade is a precision-engineered OEM replacement fan designed for high-performance thermal regulation in industrial and commercial heating systems. Specifically balanced for Reznor F and FE165 series unit heaters, this 16-inch diameter component features a 4-blade configuration with a 36-degree pitch to optimize CFM output while maintaining structural integrity under continuous load. The hub is bored for a 1/2 inch motor shaft and configured for clockwise (CW) rotation (viewed from the discharge side). Using a genuine Reznor unit heater part ensures that the static pressure and airflow profiles remain within the manufacturer's original design parameters, preventing motor overheating and premature bearing failure. For technicians performing preventative maintenance or emergency repairs, the Reznor 96380 provides a direct-fit solution that eliminates the vibration issues common with universal aftermarket alternatives. Correct pitch and diameter are critical for maintaining the heat exchanger's delta T and overall combustion efficiency in Nortek Global HVAC equipment.

• Precise Airflow Dynamics: The 36-degree pitch is specifically calibrated for 125,000 to 165,000 BTU units to ensure maximum heat transfer.
• Standardized Bore Size: Features a 1/2" bore to fit standard motor shafts without the need for specialized adapters or bushings.
• Durable 4-Blade Design: Constructed to resist flexing and fatigue in high-ambient temperature environments common in warehouse and shop applications.
• OEM Compatibility: Guaranteed fit for Reznor 96380 and Thomas & Betts cross-referenced part numbers, including 125566.

Is this fan blade compatible with the F165 or FE165 models?
Yes, this 16-inch fan blade is the primary OEM replacement for the Reznor F165 and FE165 series unit heaters.

How do I verify the rotation direction?
This blade is designed for Clockwise (CW) rotation when viewed from the air discharge side. Always verify your motor’s rotation before installation to ensure proper airflow across the heat exchanger.

What happens if I use a blade with a different pitch?
Using an incorrect pitch can overload the fan motor, leading to increased amperage draw or insufficient airflow, which may cause the high-limit switch to trip.
