York S1-026-24068-700 Blower Wheel

The York S1-026-24068-700 is an OEM-spec 12x11 blower wheel designed for high-static pressure applications in residential and light commercial air handlers and furnaces. Featuring a 1/2 inch bore and a Clockwise (CW) rotation, this double-inlet centrifugal fan is engineered to maintain precise airflow balance and minimize vibration-induced stress on the blower motor bearings. Constructed from heavy-gauge galvanized steel, the blades are convex-set to handle the CFM requirements of specific York, Luxaire, and Coleman units. When replacing an S1-026-24068-700 replacement wheel, verify the hub set-screw alignment on the motor shaft flat to ensure a secure mechanical bond and prevent slippage during high-torque startups. This HVAC centrifugal fan is a direct-fit component, ensuring that your system maintains original factory performance curves and static pressure efficiency across the heat exchanger.

Key Technical Benefits

• Precision Balanced: Factory-set balancing reduces decibel levels and prevents premature motor failure.
• OEM Compatibility: Exact replacement for York S1-026-24068-700, eliminating the need for shaft modifications or housing adjustments.
• Corrosion Resistance: Galvanized steel construction prevents oxidation in high-humidity evaporator coil environments.
• Optimized Airflow: The 12 x 11-inch configuration is optimized for consistent blower deck performance and static pressure management.

Common Questions & Technical Insights

How do I confirm the rotation of this blower wheel?
The York S1-026-24068-700 is a Clockwise (CW) rotation wheel. To verify in the field, view the wheel from the hub/motor side; the blades must rotate clockwise to properly move air through the discharge.

Will this wheel fit a 5/8 inch motor shaft?
No, this specific model features a 1/2 inch bore. If your motor has a 5/8 inch shaft, you will need a different part number or a shaft reducer, though using the correct OEM bore size is always recommended for stability.

What are the symptoms of a failing blower wheel?
Look for excessive vibration in the cabinet, "thumping" sounds upon startup, or visible debris buildup on the fins. A warped or out-of-balance 12x11 HVAC blower wheel will quickly destroy motor bearings and reduce overall system SEER ratings.
