Nordyne Furnace Draft Inducer Blower 115V Fasco A122 3450 RPM

Description

Product Overview

The Nordyne Furnace Draft Inducer Blower is a purpose‑built component designed to move combustion gases safely out of a furnace system. Powered by a 115‑volt, 48‑watt shaded‑pole motor, it spins at 3,450 RPM to create a steady, high‑velocity draft that prevents back‑flow and improves overall heating efficiency. Constructed with durable ball bearings and a robust steel housing, the blower measures a compact 10 × 10 × 10 in footprint, making it easy to install in confined spaces typical of residential range hood assemblies. The unit carries the Fasco brand name, known for reliable motor technology, and is identified by the part number A122, ensuring exact fit with compatible Nordyne furnace models.

Designed for long‑term service, the blower includes a one‑year manufacturer warranty that covers defects in materials and workmanship. Its low amperage draw of 1.75 amps (approximately 0.2 kW) reduces electrical load while still delivering the necessary airflow to maintain proper venting. The product’s specifications—speed, voltage, and power—are carefully balanced to meet industry standards for range hood blowers, earning it a #14 ranking in the category on major retail platforms. This combination of performance, size, and reliability makes the Nordyne Draft Inducer Blower a trusted choice for homeowners and professional installers alike.

Usage

The blower is intended for use in residential heating applications where a furnace or range hood requires a reliable exhaust fan. It is ideal for installations in kitchens, utility rooms, or any area where a vented furnace system is present. Because of its compact dimensions, the unit can be mounted in tight enclosures without sacrificing airflow, making it suitable for retrofit projects and new construction alike. The 115‑V rating aligns with standard North American household electrical systems, allowing straightforward wiring by qualified technicians.

Typical usage scenarios include replacing a failed blower in an existing Nordyne furnace, upgrading an older model to improve draft performance, or installing a new blower as part of a comprehensive HVAC upgrade. The blower’s quiet operation and efficient power consumption also make it a good fit for homes where noise levels are a concern, such as open‑plan living spaces. Proper installation ensures that the blower works in concert with the furnace’s combustion chamber, delivering consistent exhaust flow that helps maintain safe indoor air quality and optimal fuel combustion.

When selecting this blower, consider the overall ventilation design of the home, the length of ductwork, and any local building codes that dictate exhaust requirements. The product’s specifications are compatible with most standard vent diameters, and the included mounting hardware simplifies the installation process. For best results, pair the blower with a properly sized vent pipe and ensure that the surrounding area is free of obstructions that could impede airflow.
