Century Motors FDL1056 Motor

Upgrade or restore your blower assembly with the Century Motors FDL1056 direct drive blower motor, an industry-standard 1/2HP solution engineered for residential and light commercial HVAC applications. This 115V 1075 RPM furnace motor is built on a 48Y Nema frame, featuring an Open Air Over (OAO) design that utilizes system airflow to maintain optimal operating temperatures under continuous duty. Designed for maximum field flexibility, it offers 3-speed taps and a reversible rotation (CW/CCW) to accommodate various squirrel cage configurations.

The Century FDL1056 carries a 5.6 Amp full-load rating and utilizes a Permanent Split Capacitor (PSC) design, requiring a 10 MFD/370V run capacitor (sold separately) for efficient performance. With a 1/2 inch x 6 1/2 inch shaft and resilient mounting rings, this motor provides a precise fit for 5.6-inch diameter requirements. It serves as the direct replacement for S1-1468-244P, ensuring a seamless drop-in installation for many Coleman, York, and Luxaire air handlers without the need for mounting bracket modifications.

• Universal Compatibility: Specifically designed as the S1-1468-244P replacement motor, fitting a wide range of OEM blower housings.
• Enhanced Thermal Protection: Equipped with an automatic reset thermal overload protector to prevent winding failure during high-static conditions.
• Quiet Operation: Features sleeve bearings and resilient ring mounting to minimize vibration and mechanical noise within the ductwork.
• Flexible Speed Control: The 3-speed blower motor design allows for precise CFM adjustments to match heating and cooling load requirements.

• Can I reverse the rotation on the FDL1056? Yes, this motor features a simple reversing plug, allowing for easy field changes between clockwise and counter-clockwise rotation.
• What capacitor is required for this motor? This PSC blower motor requires a 10 MFD 370V capacitor; using an incorrect rating can lead to overheating or start failure.
• Will this fit my 48 frame bracket? Yes, the 48Y Nema frame size and 5.6" diameter are the standard for most direct drive furnace blowers.
