The Reznor 161416 Venter Motor is a high-performance OEM replacement motor engineered for commercial and industrial unit heaters. Operating at 208/230V and 60Hz, this 1/9 HP motor (0.111 HP) delivers a consistent 3200 RPM to ensure precise combustion air delivery and efficient flue gas exhaust. This assembly includes the required run capacitor to facilitate proper torque during startup and maintain stable amp draw under continuous operational loads. Designed for direct compatibility with select Reznor heating systems, the 161416 venter motor assembly is a critical component for technicians looking to restore system static pressure and prevent safety lockouts. By utilizing a genuine Reznor replacement part, contractors can ensure exact shaft alignment and mounting footprints, reducing installation time in the field and maintaining the heater's original airflow specifications. Key Benefits Optimized Performance: Pre-calibrated for 3200 RPM to meet the specific static pressure requirements of Reznor heat exchangers. Dual Voltage Versatility: Configured for 208/230VAC applications commonly found in industrial mechanical rooms. Ready for Install: Includes the correctly sized capacitor, eliminating the need to source separate electrical components. Rugged Construction: Built with high-grade bearings and thermal protection to withstand the heat of the flue collector box. Common Questions Are there specific Reznor models this 161416 motor fits? This motor is widely used in Reznor’s SC, UDAP, and V3 series heaters. Always verify your specific model and serial number against the factory parts list to ensure the 1/9 HP rating and mounting matches. Can I use a 120V motor instead of this 208/230V version? No. Installing a mismatched voltage motor will cause immediate winding failure or control board damage. Use this 161416 motor specifically for systems wired for 208V or 230V circuits. Does this assembly include the blower wheel? This part number typically refers to the motor and capacitor. If your centrifugal blower wheel is corroded or out of balance, it should be inspected and potentially replaced alongside the motor to prevent premature bearing wear.
