Field Controls 46196601 Motor Kit

The Field Controls 46196601 Motor Kit (Model SWG-3RMK) is the direct OEM replacement motor designed specifically for 3-inch SWG Series Power Venters. This kit is critical for maintaining high draft induction efficiency and ensuring safe combustion byproduct removal in residential and light commercial venting systems. Engineered for high-temperature environments, the motor features a 115V single-phase configuration that maintains consistent RPM under load, preventing backdrafting and pressure switch trips. Professional technicians prioritize this kit for its ball-bearing design and thermal overload protection, which mitigate heat-related failure common in gas and oil-fired applications. Proper installation of the power venter motor kit ensures the venting system meets ventilation safety standards while restoring the original performance curve of the power venter assembly.

• Compatible with SWG-3 series power venters for seamless mechanical integration.
• Includes the motor and blower wheel assembly to ensure proper balance and airflow.
• Designed for direct-drive operation, reducing mechanical loss and operational noise.
• High-temperature class B insulation prevents premature winding failure in high-static environments.
• Pre-wired lead configuration simplifies HVAC service calls and reduces downtime.

What are the signs that my SWG power venter motor is failing? Technicians typically look for high-pitched bearing noise, an oily residue on the motor housing, or the power venter failing to reach the pressure switch set point, preventing the burner from firing.

Is this kit compatible with other SWG models besides the 3-inch? No, the 46196601 is specifically calibrated for the 3-inch fan housing and shroud. Using this kit in larger SWG-4 or SWG-5 units will result in insufficient CFM output and potential safety hazards.

Does this motor kit include the blower wheel? Yes, it is provided as a complete motor and wheel assembly to ensure the system is properly balanced, preventing vibration that can damage the venter housing.
