Dayton 4M096 1/4 hp Direct Drive Blower Motor 115V 48YZ Frame

SKU CH-SNZV-TCVEH

A 1/4 hp direct-drive blower motor with three speeds, 115 V operation and reversible rotation for HVAC systems

  • 1/4 hp permanent-split-capacitor motor delivers three-speed airflow
  • 115 V single-phase operation draws 4.2 A at full load
  • 48YZ frame with ring/stud mounting fits multiple blower housings
  • Auto thermal protection and Class B insulation support continuous duty
  • Open air-over enclosure rated for 40 °C maximum ambient temperature

Motor Role & Fit

This Dayton 4M096 is a 1/4 hp direct-drive blower motor built for HVAC air-handling equipment. It runs on single-phase 115 V AC at 60 Hz and delivers three selectable speeds. The permanent-split-capacitor design suits residential and light-commercial blowers that need continuous-duty airflow.

Build Integration

The 48YZ frame mounts via ring or stud pattern and can be installed at any angle, giving installers flexibility inside cabinets or plenums. An open air-over enclosure relies on the airstream for cooling, so the motor must sit in the moving air path. Auto-reset thermal protection and a 1.0 service factor simplify wiring and reduce nuisance trips.

Thermals, Noise & Power

Class B insulation and a 40 °C maximum ambient temperature support sustained operation in warm mechanical rooms. At full load the motor draws 4.2 A, and the nameplate speed is 1,075 RPM. Reversible CW/CCW rotation lets the installer match the blower wheel direction without extra components.

Questions about this item

What is the continuous duty cycle limit for the 1/4 HP motor?

The motor is rated for continuous duty cycle operation at up to 40 degrees C ambient temperature.

How much heat and noise does the open air-over enclosure produce at 1,075 RPM?

The open air-over enclosure relies on airflow from the blower wheel for cooling; noise and heat levels depend on the installed blower housing and ductwork.

Does the 48YZ frame motor include a capacitor for the permanent split capacitor design?

The motor uses a permanent split capacitor design; a compatible run capacitor must be supplied separately for operation.
