A furnace blower assembly includes a blower housing a blower and a motor. The blower is positioned within the housing and is adapted to rotate relative to the housing. The motor is coupled to the blower. The housing defines an outlet having an external periphery and an internal periphery. The external periphery or the internal periphery of the outlet is adapted to be fitted to a portion of the external periphery or the internal periphery of the duct. The outlet defines a longitudinal axis. The outlet has a peripheral edge and a protrusion extending outwardly from the external periphery or the internal periphery of the outlet. The protrusion is spaced from the peripheral edge of the outlet and is adapted to abut the peripheral edge of the duct.

Furnace subassembly, furnace blower and associated method

An exhaust adapter for use with a draft inducer having a blower housing with a rectangular blower outlet. The exhaust adapter provides a transition from the rectangular outlet of the blower housing and a round exhaust pipe. The exhaust adapter includes a transition section extending between an attachment flange and a round exhaust outlet. The exhaust adapter thus facilitates attachment of the blower housing to a round exhaust pipe. The exhaust adapter is formed from two sections of stamped metal joined to each other along a top and a bottom seam. The two sections of stamped metal allow the exhaust adapter to be formed using inexpensive materials and an inexpensive manufacturing process.
