Dayton 6K402 Split Phase Motor 1/12 HP 1725 RPM 42 Frame

Motor type and power

This is a Dayton split-phase general purpose motor rated at 1/12 horsepower with a nameplate speed of 1725 RPM. It operates on 115V AC single-phase power at 60 Hz and draws 3.7 amps at full load. The 42 frame steel housing uses an open drip-proof enclosure and a cradle base mounting arrangement. The flat shaft rotates in either clockwise or counter-clockwise direction.

Suitable uses and limits

The motor suits continuous-duty HVAC applications such as fans, blowers and small pumps where a 1.4 service factor provides margin above nameplate load. Insulation class F and a 40 °C maximum ambient temperature support warm equipment rooms. Buyers who need thermal overload protection, a different voltage, higher starting torque or a totally enclosed enclosure should look at other motor designs.

Installation checks

Verify that the driven equipment matches the 1725 RPM output speed and that the flat shaft diameter fits the coupling or pulley you intend to use. Confirm the cradle base mounting pattern aligns with your existing brackets. Ensure the 115V single-phase supply can deliver 3.7 amps continuously and that the open drip-proof enclosure is acceptable for the installation environment.
