U.S. Motors 5432 – Rescue® EZ-FIT Direct Drive Fan and Blower Motor
The Rescue® EZ-FIT motor (Model 5432) by U.S. Motors is a multi-horsepower, permanent split capacitor (PSC) motor designed for direct drive blower and fan applications in residential and light commercial HVAC systems. With a wide HP range, dual-voltage capability, and field-adjustable rotation, this motor is engineered for service professionals seeking fast replacement in aftermarket scenarios.
This model supports both OEM system performance and efficient service replacements where compatibility, quiet operation, and installation speed are essential.
Professional Features and Capabilities
✅ Multi-HP Design (1/2–1/6 HP) – Accommodates a broad range of applications, reducing the need to stock multiple motor SKUs.
✅ Pre-Installed Mounting Hardware – Includes belly band and resilient ring for quick installation in common bracket styles.
✅ Dual Rotation (CW/CCW) – Direction can be reversed in the field to match blower configuration.
✅ Thermally Protected – Integrated automatic reset thermal overload for safe operation and protection during locked rotor or over-temperature events.
✅ Ball Bearing Construction – Improves longevity and allows for horizontal or vertical shaft-up mounting positions.
✅ Direct Drive Shaft – Eliminates belts and pulleys, reducing installation and alignment time.
Technical Specifications
Horsepower Range: 1/2 to 1/6 HP (multi-horsepower)
Intended for use in HVAC blower applications where a direct-drive motor is required. Field adjustments include rotation direction and speed tap selection. Electrical hookup requires connection of common, capacitor, and speed-select leads per the application wiring diagram.
While this model is compatible with many OEM air handler and furnace units, verify voltage and HP match prior to installation. Use an approved run capacitor (not included) and confirm proper airflow direction when setting rotation.
Applications
Suitable for residential air handlers, gas and electric furnaces, and fan coil units. Common in retrofit or emergency service calls where rapid motor replacement is necessary without system-specific ordering lead times.
This Rescue® series motor is designed to streamline truck stock inventory and reduce downtime during service. It replaces dozens of fixed-HP OEM motors. Proper capacitor sizing and speed tap identification are critical during install. Always verify airflow direction and system amp draw after startup.
