DAYTON 6FHX7 OEM Direct-Drive Blower Assembly, 6-1/4″ dia × 4-1/4″ W forward-curved wheel, 1/10 HP 115V shaded-pole motor (1570 RPM), 1-speed, ODP, rectangular flanged outlet, multiposition, clean-air duty, UL/CSA

DAYTON 6FHX7 OEM Direct-Drive Blower Assembly, 6-1/4″ dia × 4-1/4″ W forward-curved wheel, 1/10 HP 115V shaded-pole motor (1570 RPM), 1-speed, ODP, rectangular flanged outlet, multiposition, clean-air duty, UL/CSA

Condition: New. Factory-assembled blower with integral shaded-pole motor and thermal overload protection. No external capacitor required.

Overview

The DAYTON 6FHX7 is a compact direct-drive cabinet blower built for clean-air HVAC and OEM ventilation duties. A forward-curved 6-1/4″ × 4-1/4″ steel wheel mounts directly to a 1/10 HP, 115V shaded-pole motor for reliable, low-maintenance airflow. The assembly delivers up to 495 CFM @ 0.00″ SP and ~387 CFM @ 0.50″ SP, with a clockwise (CW) rotation and four discharge positions to simplify duct connection. A rugged steel housing with baked-enamel finish and flanged rectangular outlet makes installation straightforward in equipment cabinets, filter boxes, and custom air movers.

Features

• Direct-drive efficiency: wheel on motor shaft reduces losses and maintenance versus belt drives
• Forward-curved wheel for smooth, low-noise airflow and good static capability
• Shaded-pole, 1-speed motor — simple, proven, no capacitor needed
• Thermal overload protection and Class B insulation for reliability
• Four discharge positions; multiposition mounting for tight equipment spaces
• Steel housing & wheel, baked-enamel gray finish for durability
• Flanged rectangular outlet for quick sheet-metal hookup
• UL Listed / CSA Certified components for safety compliance

Applications / Spheres of Application

• HVAC cabinets & air handlers: coil blowers, recirculation, makeup air (clean air)
• Dehumidifiers & air cleaners: cabinet fan sections with filters upstream
• Electronics & equipment enclosures: continuous purge/cooling airflow
• Industrial OEM machinery: panel ventilation, process cooling (non-grease, non-particulate)
• General ventilation projects: short duct runs where compact, flanged takeoff is needed

What This Unit Can Be Part Of

• Filter box / coil box assemblies with 1–2 row coils (verify required CFM vs. ESP)
• Make-up air plenums and fresh-air kits (with appropriate filtration)
• Custom air scrubbers (clean-air only; add pre-filters to protect the wheel and motor)
• Equipment cooling cabinets where quiet, forward-curved performance is desired

Cross-Referenced & Comparable Models

• Direct Dayton replacement: 4C445 (match rotation, outlet, and dimensions)
• Similar Dayton family: 1TDT2 (compare outlet geometry, motor amps, and rotation)
• Comparable cabinet blowers (verify details):
  • Fasco forward-curved direct-drive units in the 6–7″ wheel / 1/10 HP 115V class
  • Rotom cabinet blowers with similar wheel size and shaded-pole motors
  • Packard OEM-style direct-drive blowers in the ~500 CFM class
  • U.S. Motors / Century shaded-pole blower assemblies of comparable CFM/ESP

NBK Parts Options (to source alongside or as alternates)

• NBK Parts direct-drive cabinet blower, ~6–6.5″ forward-curved wheel, 1/10 HP, 115V, ~1550–1600 RPM, sleeve, ODP, rectangular flanged outlet — select CW rotation and outlet size to match this 6FHX7 layout.
• NBK Parts shaded-pole blower motor 1/10 HP, 115V, ~1550 RPM, sleeve, ODP, designed for forward-curved wheels — confirm shaft diameter/length and rotation if replacing just the motor within an existing cabinet.

Installation Notes & Best Practices

• Mount securely on a flat surface to prevent resonance; verify discharge orientation before fastening.
• Use gasketed flanges or foil tape + screws for airtight duct connection; avoid abrupt transitions to reduce static losses.
• Maintain upstream filtration; this is a clean-air blower (not for dust/grease/combustibles).
• Provide a dedicated 115V, 50/60 Hz circuit as required; confirm line amperage (≈3.25–3.5 A) on startup.
• Check rotation (CW), listen for rubbing, and verify airflow against your system’s external static pressure and temperature-rise targets.
• Keep ambient and inlet air ≤104 °F.

Included

• DAYTON 6FHX7 blower assembly (motor + housing + wheel as factory-assembled)

Not Included

• Mounting hardware, power cord/plug, speed controls, duct adapters, or external filters (unless otherwise shown)

Common Requests:

1. “Is this a drop-in for Dayton 4C445?”
2. “What’s the CFM at 0.5″ SP and can it handle my coil/filter pressure drop?”
3. “Is the motor reversible?” (Shaded-pole units are typically fixed; this model is CW.)
4. “What are the outlet and flange dimensions for duct hookup?”
5. “Can I use this with dusty or greasy air?” (No—clean air only; add filtration and avoid grease applications.)
