Bard S8109-002 Inducer Blower
The Bard S8109-002 Inducer Blower is a critical OEM replacement part designed for high-efficiency vacuum-assisted combustion in Bard wall-mount HVAC units. Operating at 230V, this draft inducer assembly serves as the direct successor to the legacy 8109-002 blower, ensuring seamless mechanical fitment and electrical compatibility. As an essential component for the heat exchanger sequence of operation, it maintains precise static pressure to clear flue gases and close the pressure switch, preventing furnace lockout. This centrifugal blower features a durable motor housing and a balanced impeller to minimize vibration and bearing wear during high-static operation. When diagnosing a Bard furnace not igniting or experiencing inducer motor noise, this assembly provides the necessary airflow CFM to meet factory specifications. Contractors should verify the 208-230V single-phase power supply and terminal connections during installation to ensure optimal motor torque and longevity in heavy-duty commercial applications.
Key Benefits:- Direct OEM Replacement: Replaces 8109-002 with no modification to the mounting plate or wiring harness.
- Voltage Compatibility: Engineered for 208-230V draft inducer applications common in Bard industrial HVAC systems.
- Enhanced Combustion: Establishes the necessary draft for reliable ignition and stable gas furnace burner performance.
- Rugged Construction: Designed to withstand high flue gas temperatures and continuous duty cycles.
Will this blower fix a "Pressure Switch Stuck Open" error code?
Yes, if the existing draft inducer motor is failing to reach the required RPM or has a clogged housing, replacing it with the S8109-002 will typically resolve pressure switch circuit failures.
Is this compatible with 115V Bard units?
No, the S8109-002 is specifically rated for 208-230V. Installing this on a 115V circuit will result in motor failure or insufficient draft.
Does this assembly include the cooling fan blade and housing?
This is a complete inducer motor assembly, including the motor and the blower wheel housing required for standard HVAC ventilation replacement.
