Packard 66401 Inducer
The Packard 66401 is a high-performance 115V draft inducer motor specifically engineered for service technicians requiring a reliable direct replacement for Lennox 85L4901 and 88K8401 units. This C-frame inducer assembly features a single-speed 3000 RPM motor designed to ensure optimal combustion efficiency and safe exhaust purging in residential gas furnaces. Built for field durability, the unit utilizes a 1.30 Amp shaded pole motor with internal ball bearings and automatic thermal overload protection, ensuring it handles the high static pressure environments of modern heat exchangers without premature failure.
For a clean install, this assembly includes a pre-mounted slinger fan and is compatible with heavy-duty metal housings. It serves as a drop-in aftermarket furnace blower for a broad range of OEM part numbers, including Emerson 3120, Jakel J238-087-8171, and Fasco 7021-9593. As a veteran-grade part, the Packard 66401 eliminates the "failed pressure switch" nuisance calls by delivering consistent CFM through the flue, keeping your customers' systems in compliance with manufacturer specs during peak heating loads.
Key Benefits for Technicians- Direct OEM Cross-Reference: Expertly replaces Lennox 85L4901, 88K8401, 10K5301, and Emerson 3120 without mounting modifications.
- Industrial Build Quality: Features ball bearing construction and a shaded pole motor for significant reduction in operational noise and vibration.
- Safety Integrated: Equipped with automatic thermal overload protection to prevent motor burnout during restricted flue conditions.
- Complete Assembly: Includes the slinger fan and essential mounting hardware to reduce on-site labor time.
Is this inducer compatible with 208-230V systems?
No, this unit is strictly a 115V inducer motor. Applying higher voltage will result in immediate motor failure. Always verify secondary transformer or line voltage before installation.
Does this replace the J238-087-8171 series found in Lennox units?
Yes, the Packard 66401 is the designated technical replacement for the Jakel J238-087 and Emerson 3120 series motors commonly installed in Lennox and Armstrong furnaces.
What is the proper rotation for this motor?
This motor is configured for Clockwise (CW) rotation as viewed from the lead end. Ensure the impeller orientation matches your specific furnace housing before final assembly.
