Reznor 135979 Inducer Wheel Only

The Reznor 135979 Inducer Wheel is a critical combustion component specifically engineered for compatibility with Reznor unit heaters, including various F, FE, B, and BE models. This centrifugal blower wheel is responsible for maintaining the correct static pressure and airflow volume required to safely vent flue gases through the heat exchanger. Constructed from high-grade aluminized steel or corrosion-resistant alloy, this wheel is designed to withstand high flue temperatures without warping or losing dynamic balance. When replacing a failed draft inducer wheel, ensuring a precise match for the RPM rating and shaft diameter is essential to prevent motor bearing strain and premature pressure switch trips. This OEM-spec replacement ensures the heating unit maintains its AFUE rating and operates within safe CO levels. Integrating this genuine Reznor part guarantees optimal fitment and venting performance during heavy-duty winter cycles.

• Precision Balanced: Factory-balanced to reduce vibration and extend the longevity of the inducer motor.
• Direct OEM Fit: Eliminates guesswork during installation, specifically designed for Reznor 135979 replacement specs.
• Corrosion Resistance: Built to handle the acidic nature of combustion byproducts found in gas-fired heaters.
• Optimized Airflow: Maintains consistent draft for reliable pressure switch activation and burner ignition.

Does this include the set screw for the motor shaft?
This item is for the inducer wheel only; while most include the integrated hub and set screw, technicians should verify the condition of the existing motor shaft for scoring before installation.

What causes this blower wheel to fail in Reznor units?
Common failure points include soot buildup causing unbalanced rotation, or extreme thermal cycling leading to metal fatigue and blade separation.

How do I confirm this is the correct wheel for my unit heater?
Verify the model number and series on the unit's data plate. This wheel is frequently used in Reznor F and FE series, but checking the technical parts manual for the specific BTU size is recommended.
