Heil Quaker ICP 1087048 Blower Motor

The Heil Quaker ICP 1087048 Blower Motor is a direct-drive PSC (Permanent Split Capacitor) motor specifically engineered for residential and light commercial HVAC air handlers and furnaces. Operating at 1/4 HP and 208-230V, this 48 NEMA frame motor delivers a rated 1075 RPM with 3-speed versatility, allowing for precise airflow adjustments across varying static pressures. With a low 2.2 Amp draw, it provides an efficient replacement solution that minimizes electrical load. This unit features a sleeve bearing design for quiet operation and a band mount configuration for standard housing integration. The CCW (Counter-Clockwise) rotation and single-phase induction ensure consistent performance in condensing units and furnace blowers. When performing a field swap, verify lead lengths and capacitor requirements to maintain system static balance and prevent premature motor winding failure. This OEM replacement motor ensures drop-in compatibility with legacy Heil, Quaker, and ICP equipment.

• Multi-Speed Versatility: The 3-speed tap configuration allows for optimized CFM tuning across heating and cooling cycles.
• Standardized Fit: The 48-frame diameter and band mount system ensure a seamless fit into existing blower wheels and housings.
• Efficient Power Draw: A 2.2 Amp rating at 230V reduces thermal stress on the circuit while maintaining torque.
• Durable Construction: Built with sleeve bearings for reduced vibration and longevity in indoor air handler applications.

Common Questions

Is the 1087048 motor compatible with my current fan relay?
As a standard 3-speed PSC motor, it integrates with most 208-230V control boards and fan relays. Always check the wiring diagram to ensure the common and speed taps are correctly landed.

What is the correct rotation for this Blower Motor?
This specific model is rated for CCW (Counter-Clockwise) rotation when viewed from the lead end. Ensure your blower wheel pitch matches this rotation to avoid airflow restriction.

Does this unit require a run capacitor?
Yes, as a Permanent Split Capacitor motor, a specific MFD-rated run capacitor is required for operation. Check the motor nameplate for the exact microfarad rating needed.
