The Heil Quaker ICP 1708518 Inducer Motor is a critical genuine OEM replacement component engineered for high-performance combustion air delivery. This 1/40 HP inducer motor is specifically rated for 208/230V applications and operates at a single-speed 3000 RPM to maintain negative pressure within the furnace heat exchanger. As an International Comfort Products (ICP) technical standard part, it ensures precise ventilation during the pre-purge and ignition cycles, preventing pressure switch trips and lockout codes. This motor is a direct drop-in for PGDA024G050, PGDA024G075, and PGDA036F050 packaged units, providing a factory-spec match for mounting brackets and electrical terminations. When diagnosing short-cycling or noisy draft inducer assemblies, installing this HVAC draft inducer restores the correct air-to-fuel ratio required for safe atmospheric or power-vented operation in Heil, Quaker, and other ICP-branded systems.

Key Benefits for Technicians:

• Precision Airflow: Engineered to provide the exact CFM required for optimal combustion stability and heat exchanger safety.
• Direct OEM Fitment: Eliminates the need for field modifications or bracket adjustments in PGDA series packaged units.
• High-Temperature Durability: Constructed with Class B insulation to withstand the high ambient heat found in combustion blower housings.
• Electrical Efficiency: Optimized 208/230 Volt windings provide stable torque across the 3000 RPM range for consistent draft pressure.

Common Questions:

Does this motor include the cooling fan and gasket?
This part number refers to the 1/40 HP motor assembly. Technicians should inspect the existing centrifugal blower wheel and housing gasket for wear, as these are often reused or sourced separately depending on the assembly condition.

What are the primary indicators that this inducer motor needs replacement?
Common failure points include seized bearings (indicated by a loud humming or screeching), open windings, or a failure to reach 3000 RPM, which prevents the pressure switch from closing.

Is this compatible with 115V systems?
No, the ICP 1708518 is specifically rated for 208/230V. Always verify the voltage on the existing motor nameplate before installation to prevent electrical failure.
