Fasco A249 Draft Inducer
The Fasco A249 Draft Inducer is a purpose-built centrifugal blower designed for high-efficiency draft induction in residential and commercial furnaces. This 115V draft inducer motor operates at a high-torque 3400 RPM, pulling 2.35 Amps to ensure precise static pressure for optimal combustion cycles. Built with ball bearings rather than sleeve bearings, the Fasco A249 is engineered to withstand high ambient temperatures and provide smooth, continuous operation under heavy cycling. As a direct replacement for many OEM assemblies, it features a 1-speed configuration that matches factory flow rates exactly. When diagnosing a pressure switch that won't close or a restricted flue, this unit provides the necessary CFM to clear the heat exchanger safely. This 11-pound assembly is a critical furnace replacement part for technicians requiring a drop-in solution that meets exact HVAC blower motor specifications. Note that this unit is the motor and housing assembly; the gasket must be sourced separately if needed.
Key Benefits
- Enhanced Durability: Equipped with dual ball bearings to prevent shaft seizing and reduce friction during high-speed operation.
- Exact Specifications: Rated at 115V and 3400 RPM for seamless integration with existing furnace control boards and pressure switches.
- Optimized Ventilation: Provides reliable draft for efficient combustion, ensuring proper venting of flue gases.
- Industrial Build: Manufactured by Fasco, utilizing heavy-duty components designed for the rigors of the heating season.
Common Questions
Is the mounting gasket included with the A249?
No, this model does not include the gasket. It is recommended to inspect the existing seal or provide a new high-temp gasket during installation to prevent flue gas leakage.
Can I use this to replace a sleeve bearing inducer?
Yes, the ball bearing construction of the Fasco A249 is typically an upgrade over sleeve bearings, offering better performance in high-heat environments.
What causes a draft inducer to fail prematurely?
Most failures are due to bearing wear from high heat or moisture in the flue. The Fasco A249 3400 RPM motor is designed to mitigate these issues with a rugged internal build.
