Fasco A156 Inducer Motor

The Fasco A156 Inducer Motor is a high-performance flue exhaust blower engineered for HVAC furnace repair and specific Evcon and York heating systems. This 115V draft inducer assembly serves as the direct replacement for Fasco 961 and York 7021-10882, delivering 3000 RPM at 1.1 Amps. Built with a shaded pole motor and high-quality sleeve bearings, the assembly features a 3.3-inch diameter motor and a 4-3/4" x 1-5/16" centrifugal blower wheel to ensure efficient combustion gas venting. Designed for precise fitment, this unit includes 5-inch leads with a molded socket terminal and is thermally protected to withstand high-temperature environments. When installing the Fasco A156, technicians should note it features 4 mounting holes and may require a high-temperature gasket maker to ensure a leak-free seal. This OEM-spec replacement provides the critical airflow required to engage furnace pressure switches and maintain safe equipment operation.

Common Questions

Will the Fasco A156 fit a 5-hole mounting pattern?
The A156 utilizes 4 mounting holes. If the original induction blower used 5 holes, this unit is still the designated replacement, but you must ensure the mounting surface is clean and properly sealed during installation.

Is a gasket included with the A156 assembly?
No, this assembly typically does not include a gasket. It is professional practice to use a high-temperature RTV silicone or a new fiber gasket to prevent carbon monoxide leakage into the cabinet.

Can I use this motor to replace the Fasco 961?
Yes, the Fasco A156 is the direct technical successor to the 961 and 7021-10828, matching all electrical and physical specifications for York and Evcon units.
