Carrier LA22RC011 Blower Wheel
The Carrier LA22RC011 Blower Wheel is a precision-engineered centrifugal fan component designed for high-efficiency airflow in residential and light commercial HVAC systems. This double-inlet blower wheel features a 11.87-inch diameter and a 10.75-inch width, specifically optimized for static pressure performance in Carrier, Bryant, and Payne air handlers. Constructed with a 1/2-inch bore and CCW lead end rotation, this direct drive blower wheel ensures balanced operation, reducing vibration and mechanical stress on the blower motor. The concave hub and aluminum construction provide corrosion resistance and structural integrity under high RPM loads. For technicians performing HVAC blower wheel replacement, this OEM part guarantees exact tolerances for clearance and airflow CFM compatibility with Carrier furnaces. Utilizing a convex hub design, it facilitates smooth torque transfer, maintaining system static efficiency and preventing premature motor failure caused by unbalanced centrifugal loads.
Key Benefits
- OEM Precision: Guaranteed 11.87 x 10.75 dimensional accuracy for direct-fit replacement in Bryant and Carrier furnace blower assemblies.
- Dynamic Balance: Factory-tested for minimal run-out, reducing acoustic resonance and extending the lifespan of the motor bearings.
- Enhanced Airflow: Optimized blade pitch ensures consistent CFM delivery even in high-static ductwork environments.
- Durable Construction: Lightweight yet rigid build resists deflection at peak operating speeds, maintaining peak SEER ratings.
Common Questions
What are the exact dimensions and bore size for the LA22RC011?
This wheel measures 11-7/8 inches in diameter by 10-3/4 inches in width with a 1/2-inch center bore. It is designed for 1/2-inch motor shafts commonly found in 5-ton and high-capacity residential units.
How do I determine the correct rotation for this blower wheel?
The LA22RC011 is a CCWLE (Counter Clockwise Lead End) wheel. When viewing the wheel from the end opposite the hub/motor side, it rotates counter-clockwise to correctly pull air into the scroll housing.
Is this a multi-brand compatible part?
Yes, as an OEM factory authorized part, it is used across the UTC brands including Carrier, Bryant, and Payne, often replacing older legacy part numbers with the same physical footprint.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Ask a Question-
Do they make this with welded center I've replaced this fan 3 times this year for the exact same problem center spins out
No, they only make one version of the wheel. If you had to replace the same part 3 times most likely something else is causing the part to fail.
