Integrate the Rheem-Ruud AE-61698-82 into your next service call for a precise, factory-spec fit. This 48 Frame Motor Mounting Kit is engineered specifically for 5-5/8 inch diameter motors, common in high-static blower applications and condenser fan assemblies across Rheem, Ruud, and WeatherKing platforms. As a professional-grade 4 piece motor bracket kit, it provides the structural rigidity necessary to eliminate harmonic resonance and excessive cabinet vibration, which are the primary causes of premature motor failure and mechanical noise. The Screw Shell Motor Mount Kit configuration features specialized arm geometry designed to align with bolt circle diameters of 12-13/16, 14-13/16, and 16-13/16 inches. This versatility ensures this HVAC blower motor bracket kit serves as a reliable replacement for individual leg part number AE-61698-02. When field-installing new furnace or air handler motors, technicians should verify specific shell screw hole spacing, which ranges from 1/4 to 4-5/16 inches for exact bracket seating.

• Universal Blower Compatibility: Specifically designed to accommodate 48 Frame HVAC motors with a nominal 5-5/8" diameter across multiple Rheem and Ruud model lines.
• Enhanced Vibration Dampening: The 4-arm Screw Shell design distributes mechanical load evenly to reduce stress on the motor housing and mounting assembly.
• Multi-Bolt Circle Support: Fits varying blower housing dimensions with supported bolt circle diameters including 12-13/16", 14-13/16", and 16-13/16".
• Replacement Efficiency: Effectively replaces individual mounting legs and accommodates most standard shell screw spacings (1/4" to 4-5/16").

What motor size is the AE-61698-82 compatible with?
This mounting kit is engineered exclusively for 48 frame motors, which typically have a 5-5/8 inch nominal diameter. It is not compatible with 42 frame (5-inch) motors without specific adapter plates.

Are mounting screws included in this kit?
The AE-61698-82 contains the 4-piece bracket set. If current fasteners are corroded or missing, technicians should utilize factory-standard #8-18 screws (Part 63-24368-01) for secure attachment to the motor shell.

Can these brackets be used in condenser fan applications?
Yes, while commonly found in blower groups, these OEM motor mounting brackets are suitable for any Rheem-Ruud application requiring a shell-mount 48-frame kit, provided the bolt circle matches the housing.
