Lennox 60L22 Blower Motor
The Lennox 60L22 Blower Motor is a heavy-duty, OEM replacement PSC fan motor designed for precision air handling in residential furnaces and air handlers. Operating at 115V and 1075 RPM, this 1/2 HP blower motor features a versatile 5-speed configuration, allowing for fine-tuned airflow adjustments to meet specific static pressure requirements. This motor is the direct factory-authorized replacement for legacy Lennox part numbers including 60L2201, 18M27, and 18M2701. Built on a NEMA 48 frame with torsion flex mounting ears, it ensures a secure, low-vibration fit in compatible Lennox blower decks. The CCW lead end rotation and sleeve bearing design are engineered for consistent performance in standard HVAC duty cycles. When verifying Lennox furnace motor compatibility, ensure your existing capacitor is rated for 7.5 MFD at 370 VAC, as this permanent split capacitor motor requires a matched run capacitor for optimal torque and efficiency.
Key Benefits for Contractors
- Direct OEM Fit: Eliminates the need for field modifications or bracket adjustments when replacing 18M27 or 60L2201 motors.
- Multi-Speed Versatility: The 5-speed taps provide flexibility for balancing airflow across diverse ductwork configurations.
- Industrial Build Quality: Features welded mounting ears and a 1/2" x 3-1/4" flat shaft for reliable torque transfer to the blower wheel.
- Optimized Performance: Factory-spec winding ensures the motor operates within the original 8.0–8.6 Amp draw range, protecting the control board.
Common Questions
Is this the correct replacement for a Lennox 18M2701 motor?
Yes, the 60L22 is the current factory-designated replacement for part numbers 18M2701, 18M27, and 60L2201.
Does this motor include the run capacitor?
No, this motor requires a 7.5 MFD / 370V capacitor, which must be sourced separately if the existing one is out of spec.
Can I use this in a 230V system?
No, this is a 115V / 120V single-phase motor. Applying 230V will result in immediate winding failure.
