Bell & Gossett 118228 Motor Ring Set

The Bell & Gossett 118228 is a critical but unsung hero in HVAC systems. It's a motor ring set, a seemingly simple component that plays a vital role in ensuring proper function. Specifically, it secures the motor to the pump housing in circulator pumps. These pumps are found in hydronic heating systems, which use hot water to radiate heat throughout a building. The motor spins an impeller within the pump, creating the force that circulates the hot water through the system. Without a secure connection between the motor and pump, this circulation wouldn't be possible, leading to uneven heating or a complete system failure.
The Bell & Gossett 118228 is designed for compatibility with various Bell & Gossett circulator pumps used in residential and light commercial applications.                                                                                      Here's a look at its specifications:
Voltage: Compatible with standard North American electrical grids (208/230 volts)
Horsepower: Accommodates motors up to 1/4 horsepower, which is typical for circulator pumps in these settings.
Frequency: Matches the standard electrical grid frequency (60 Hz).
Weight: Lightweight (0.26 pounds) for easy handling during installation or maintenance.
By providing a secure and stable mounting point, the Bell & Gossett 118228 motor ring set ensures your hydronic heating system functions smoothly and efficiently. This translates to reliable heat distribution, improved comfort, and potentially lower energy costs due to optimal system performance.
