Rheem-Ruud 70-23111-44 Blower Wheel

For field technicians and contractors maintaining Rheem or Ruud air handlers and furnaces, the Rheem-Ruud 70-23111-44 Blower Wheel is a critical OEM replacement component designed for precision performance. This direct drive blower wheel features a 11-15/16-inch diameter and a 9-1/2-inch width, engineered with a concave double inlet design to maximize static pressure and optimize cubic feet per minute (CFM) output. Built for a 1/2-inch motor shaft (1/2" bore), this wheel operates with a clockwise (CW) rotation and includes a 1-1/8-inch hub length for a secure, balanced fit. Replacing a damaged or out-of-balance centrifugal blower fan with this genuine HVAC blower wheel replacement eliminates vibration issues, protects the motor bearings from premature wear, and restores the system's original airflow efficiency. Whether you are performing a seasonal tune-up or an emergency repair, utilizing factory-spec 70-23111-44 parts ensures seamless compatibility with existing furnace housings and fan motors.

• OEM Precision: Genuine Rheem-Ruud factory part ensures exact fitment and air delivery specs without the balancing issues of generic alternatives.
• Optimized Airflow: The double inlet concave design reduces turbulence, improving energy efficiency and quiet operation.
• Direct Fit: Specifically machined for 1/2-inch bore direct-drive applications, simplifying the installation process.
• Durable Construction: High-grade metal blades designed to withstand the thermal stress of high-efficiency gas furnaces and air handlers.

What fits the 70-23111-44 blower wheel?
This component is used across a wide array of Rheem and Ruud gas furnaces and electric air handlers. Always verify the physical dimensions (11-15/16" x 9-1/2") and the 1/2" bore size against the existing wheel before installation.

Is this a clockwise or counter-clockwise rotation wheel?
This specific model is a clockwise (CW) rotation wheel when viewed from the hub/motor side. Installing the incorrect rotation will significantly reduce airflow and can lead to system overheating.

Do I need a hub puller for this replacement?
If the motor shaft is corroded, a standard hub puller is recommended to remove the old wheel without damaging the motor shaft or the blower housing assembly.
