  • $456.00


The Rheem-Ruud 703001 is a genuine OEM draft inducer motor assembly engineered for specific 2-stage heating applications. This 120V 2-stage inducer features a robust Fasco motor (Model 70581522) capable of 3000 RPM, delivering precise combustion airflow to maintain proper static pressure across both high and low-fire cycles. The assembly includes a factory-spec replacement gasket (68-21812-04) and a right-side discharge sheet metal housing, ensuring a direct-fit for technicians replacing worn or noisy venter motors in high-efficiency furnaces. Designed with sealed ball bearings and thermal protection, this 115V/120V inducer assembly restores optimal venting performance and flue gas extraction to prevent pressure switch trip-outs. By utilizing a direct-fit draft blower, contractors can ensure seamless integration with the existing control board and harness, maintaining the integrity of the furnace combustion system without the need for field modifications or generic retrofits.

Key Benefits
  • Dual-Stage Performance: Optimized for 2-stage furnace operation to provide consistent draft pressure at both firing rates.
  • OEM Precision: Includes the 703001 inducer gasket for a leak-free seal against the collector box.
  • Technical Reliability: Features a high-quality Fasco 70581522 motor with permanent lubrication for extended service life in high-heat environments.
  • Quiet Operation: Precision-balanced blower wheel reduces vibration and resonance through the vent pipe.
Common Questions
  • Is this compatible with single-stage units? No, this is a 2-stage inducer assembly. While the voltage is standard 120V, the internal motor windings and lead configuration are specific to the two-stage combustion logic.
  • Does it include the mounting plate and gasket? Yes, the Rheem 703001 kit typically includes the required gasket and upflow mounting plate for a standardized installation.
  • Will this fix a pressure switch error? If the error is caused by a failing draft inducer motor or cracked housing unable to maintain the required WC (Water Column) pressure, this assembly will resolve the issue.
