    A.O. Smith Electrical Products Company, Tipp City, OH, has released the new MultiFit™ 42-frame replacement motors engineered with the Multi-Mounting System™, offered exclusively through A.O. Smith distributors.
    The high-efficiency condensor fan motors are totally enclosed, and feature A.O. Smith's 3-in-1™ multi-horsepower feature. A.O.,Smith says the motors will save HVAC contractor time and money, and add versatility to their replacement motor inventory.
    The 3-in-1™ multi-horsepower design enables two MultiFit™ models to replace 1/4, 1/5, 1/6, 1/8, 1/10, and 1/12 horsepower OEM and replacement motors. These energy-efficient PSC motors are installed with one simple connection – no capacitors to switch or complicated wiring diagrams to follow.
    The exclusive Multi Mounting System™ replaces all the common 42-frame bolt circle (BC) patterns in the HVAC market.
    By using the removable mounting studs, these motors replace:
    - Emerson 42-frame and Clam-shell design
    - GE 42-frame and Cap-Can design
    - Fasco 42-frame design
    - Westinghouse 42-frame design
    - Universal Electric 42-frame design, 4.33BC, 4.42BC and 4.62BC patterns.
    According to A.O. Smith, the condenser fan motors operate at 1075 RPM/208-230 volt, and are constructed with double-sealed ball-bearings, a water-resistant reversing plug, and mounting accessories – for quick and easy mounting.
    MultiFit’s versatility gives the contractor an array of replacement horsepower configurations, rotation settings, and mounting position options.
