Reznor 97955 Venter Assembly

The Reznor 97955 Venter Assembly is a critical OEM replacement component designed to maintain the mechanical integrity and exhaust efficiency of high-performance heating systems. Engineered for industrial and commercial HVAC unit heaters, this centrifugal blower assembly is essential for the safe expulsion of combustion byproducts from the heat exchanger. As a direct-drive draft inducer motor and housing kit, it ensures the precise static pressure required for consistent burner operation and flue gas venting.

This 97955 venter housing features professional-grade construction, weighing approximately 11.45 lbs and measuring 15" x 10" x 10". It is common for technicians to source this specific Reznor replacement part when troubleshooting pressure switch trip errors or inducer motor bearing failure. By integrating a high-rpm blower wheel with a robust motor, this assembly restores optimal airflow, preventing dangerous exhaust recirculating and protecting the system's combustion cycle. For a seamless field installation, verify your current model's compatibility with this 115V-capable assembly to ensure immediate restoration of system heating capacity.

• Ensures proper ventilation and safe exhaust gas expulsion for code-compliant operation.
• Heavy-duty OEM construction reduces vibration and extends the service life of the inducer system.
• Optimized airflow performance maintains correct internal pressure for burner engagement.
• Direct-fit design facilitates rapid HVAC troubleshooting and reduces technician labor time on-site.
• Includes the integrated motor, blower wheel, and housing for a complete mechanical overhaul.

Is the 97955 assembly compatible with all Reznor unit heaters?
While the 97955 is a widely used venter assembly, it is specifically engineered for certain series, such as many RP and SC models. Always cross-reference your unit's serial number and specific furnace rating plate before installation.

Does this kit include the mounting gasket and hardware?
This assembly typically consists of the primary motor and blower housing. Technicians often reuse existing hardware or source specific replacement gaskets separately depending on the condition of the flue collection box.

What are the signs that my current venter motor needs replacement?
Common indicators include loud grinding noises from the bearings, a furnace that fails to ignite due to a "draft pressure" error, or visible corrosion on the inducer housing caused by flue condensation.
