Rheem-Ruud 70-23111-05 Blower Wheel

The Rheem-Ruud 70-23111-05 Blower Wheel is a precision-engineered OEM replacement part designed for high-static pressure applications in residential and light commercial air handlers and furnaces. Built for direct drive configurations, this double inlet blower wheel features a 11 15/16" diameter and a 7 1/8" width, ensuring balanced airflow distribution across the heat exchanger. The unit is constructed with 54 concave blades and a 1/2" bore hub, optimized for clockwise (CW) rotation to maintain consistent CFM output while minimizing vibration and motor strain. As a 70-23111-05 blower wheel, it serves as a critical component for restoring system efficiency and quiet operation in Rheem HVAC systems. The concave disc design provides structural rigidity, making it a reliable solution for technicians performing furnace blower wheel replacement. Verify shaft size and rotation before installation to ensure seamless integration with the existing blower motor.

• Optimized Airflow: The double inlet design maximizes air intake, reducing turbulence and improving heat transfer efficiency.
• Durable Construction: Features a concave disc and robust steel blades to withstand high RPM and prevent wheel deformation.
• Quiet Operation: Precision balancing at the factory reduces mechanical noise and extends the life of the blower motor bearings.
• Direct Fit: Designed as an HVAC blower wheel replacement specifically for Rheem and Ruud equipment, ensuring correct static pressure performance.

What is the rotation for this blower wheel?
This model is designed for clockwise (CW) rotation when viewing from the hub side. Installing a wheel with the incorrect rotation will result in significantly reduced airflow and potential motor overheating.

Will this fit a 3/4" motor shaft?
No, this specific part features a 1/2" bore. It is essential to confirm your motor shaft diameter before purchase, as the hub must fit snugly to prevent slippage or vibration.

How do I know if I need a double inlet wheel?
If your blower housing allows for air to be pulled from both sides of the wheel, a double inlet wheel like the 70-23111-05 is required to meet the system's design airflow requirements.
