Lau 02694008 Blower Wheel

Lau 02694008 Blower Wheel

The Lau 02694008 (Model DD11-8A) is a high-performance direct drive blower wheel engineered for reliable airflow in residential and light commercial HVAC applications. Featuring a 11 3/4" diameter and 8" width, this galvanized steel wheel is built with 53 forward-curved blades for optimal static pressure and quiet operation. The 1/2" bore hub is secured to a convex center disc using Preslok technology, ensuring positive blade retention even at the maximum rated speed of 1550 RPM. Designed specifically for counter-clockwise (CCW) rotation (determined by viewing the hub/bore end), this double inlet blower wheel serves as a direct replacement for many universal furnace and air handler blowers. The cold-rolled galvanized steel construction provides the structural integrity needed to withstand high-duty cycles while resisting corrosion in standard air-moving environments. This unit is ideal for contractors looking for a robust, balanced component that maintains airflow efficiency in high-static systems.

Key Benefits
  • Preslok Construction: Features a specialized center disc that mechanically locks each of the 53 blades in place for superior durability under high torque.
  • Precision Balancing: Factory-balanced to minimize vibration, extending the service life of the blower motor and reducing system noise.
  • High-Temperature Resilience: Rated for operation in environments up to 200°F (recommended for application temperatures not exceeding 135°F to protect motor components).
  • Universal Replacement: Standard 11-3/4 x 8 dimensions make it a compatible HVAC blower wheel for a wide range of direct-drive furnace and condenser units.
Common Questions

How do I verify the rotation for the Lau 02694008?
Rotation is determined by looking at the bore/hub side. This model is CCW (Counter-Clockwise). If your motor requires clockwise rotation from the hub side, an alternative model like the 026940-07 may be required.

Can this wheel be used in belt-drive systems?
No, the Lau DD11-8A is specifically designed for direct drive applications where the motor shaft inserts directly into the 1/2" hub. Belt-drive wheels typically feature different hub configurations and reinforcement for pulleys.

Does the convex disc shape affect installation depth?
Yes, the convex disc indicates the hub is offset toward the center of the wheel. Ensure the motor shaft length and mounting bracket position allow for proper centering within the housing to maintain maximum double inlet airflow efficiency.
