Heil Quaker ICP 1172248 Motor

The Heil Quaker ICP 1172248 Motor is a high-performance 1/8 HP condenser fan motor engineered for reliable operation in residential and light commercial HVAC systems. This OEM replacement motor, also identified by part numbers HC35GZ005A and GE 5KCP39BGY148S, is a Permanent Split Capacitor (PSC) motor designed to maintain consistent airflow across the condenser coils. Operating at 1075 RPM with a 2-speed configuration, it allows for precise thermal management by adjusting speeds based on the cooling load. The NEMA 48 frame size (5-5/8 inch diameter) and sleeve bearing design ensure quiet operation and a standardized fit for various Tempstar, Comfortmaker, and Heil units.

Built for the rigors of outdoor environments, the ICP 1172248 features a CW rotation (clockwise) when viewed from the lead end and utilizes a band mount for secure installation. It is rated for 208-230V AC, single-phase, 60Hz power, drawing a nominal 0.66 Full Load Amps. The 48Y frame typically includes a 2.25-inch shaft, providing the necessary clearance for standard fan blades. Techs should note the 4-wire lead configuration, often provided with a plastic plug that can be utilized or modified to match existing terminal blocks on older carrier-platform condensers.

• OEM Compatibility: Exact drop-in replacement for Heil, Quaker, ICP, and Tempstar HVAC condenser motors.
• Dual-Speed Logic: Supports 2-speed operation to optimize energy efficiency and system performance.
• Standardized Housing: 48 NEMA frame size ensures compatibility with most standard mounting bands and motor brackets.
• Optimized Efficiency: PSC motor design provides reliable torque and lower operating costs compared to non-capacitor start motors.

What capacitor is required for the ICP 1172248 motor?
Most 1/8 HP 1075 RPM condenser motors in this frame size require a 5 MFD / 370V run capacitor, though you should always verify the nameplate on the specific unit being replaced for exact microfarad requirements.

Can I use this 2-speed motor as a single-speed replacement?
Yes, contractors often wire only the high-speed lead if the control board does not support multi-speed condenser logic, provided the rotational direction and amperage match the original specifications.

Is the 1172248 motor reversible?
This specific model is factory-set for CW rotation. Always verify the fan blade pitch before installation to ensure proper airflow direction away from the compressor and through the coil.
