Carrier LA22RA101 Wheel

The Carrier LA22RA101 is a precision-engineered OEM centrifugal blower wheel designed for high-performance air handling in specific Carrier, Bryant, and Payne furnace and fan coil units. This 11 1/8" x 6" double-inlet wheel features a 1/2" bore designed for standard motor shaft compatibility. Constructed with high-grade galvanized steel, the LA22RA101 blower wheel utilizes a convex rim design and forward-curved blades to optimize airflow velocity while minimizing static pressure resistance. As a clockwise (CW) rotation component, it is critical to verify the orientation of the existing assembly to ensure proper CFM delivery and system balancing. This direct HVAC replacement part ensures the mechanical integrity of the blower housing, reducing vibration and extending the operational life of the blower motor. For contractors performing a furnace blower wheel replacement, this component provides the exact OEM specifications required for maintaining factory-rated heating and cooling efficiency.

• Precision Balanced: Factory balancing reduces bearing wear on the blower motor and eliminates resonant noise during operation.
• Durable Construction: Heavy-duty galvanized steel prevents corrosion and maintains structural integrity under high RPM loads.
• Optimized Airflow: Forward-curved blade geometry ensures consistent static pressure performance across varying ductwork configurations.
• Direct OEM Fit: Eliminates the mechanical clearance issues often found with universal aftermarket centrifugal fans.

What is the correct rotation for the LA22RA101?
This wheel is rated for Clockwise (CW) rotation when viewing from the hub/bore side. Installing a wheel with the incorrect rotation will lead to a significant drop in airflow and potential motor overheating.

Does this wheel include the set screw?
Yes, the LA22RA101 typically comes with the hub set screw pre-installed to secure the 1/2" bore to the motor shaft.

What causes these wheels to fail?
The most common failure points are dust accumulation causing imbalance, or moisture leading to pitting and corrosion, which compromises the centrifugal stability of the blades.
