Product details
The Century B229SE is a 1-1/2 HP up rated pool pump motor with a threaded shaft. It runs at 3450 RPM on 115 or 230 volts, single phase, with a 1.00 service factor and a 56J round flange frame.
Threaded shaft, C face
The shaft is 303 stainless steel and threaded, so a threaded shaft impeller screws directly onto it. It is the Century 1081 C face design with ball bearing construction, and the C dimension, meaning motor plus shaft, is 13.06 in.
Up rated versus full rated
Up rated and full rated motors of the same size carry different nameplate horsepower. An up rated 1-1/2 HP motor like this one has a 1.00 service factor. Replacing a full rated motor with an up rated one, or the other way round, changes the flow your pump produces, so match what the pump was built with.
Before you order
Check the frame, the shaft type and the C dimension against your old motor. Wiring a dual voltage motor for the wrong supply voltage will destroy it, so have the voltage selection confirmed by a qualified electrician or service technician.
