Description
The Century Square Flange 2.0 HP motor in a 56Y frame, rated for 230V, is a time‑tested replacement option for pool and spa equipment. Although Century/A.O. Smith discontinued this exact model, it remains a practical choice for repairing or refurbishing legacy pumps thanks to broad cross‑compatibility with older OEM units. This motor cross‑references and replaces multiple former part numbers: 319299, 5283-6, B2984, EB2984, EB2984T, making sourcing straightforward for technicians and DIY homeowners alike.
Key features that translate to real‑world performance:
- Square flange mounting in a 56Y frame for straightforward installation and secure alignment with compatible pump housings.
- 2.0 HP rating provides robust flow for mid‑sized pool and spa systems, helping maintain steady water turnover and jet action.
- 230V single‑phase operation fits typical residential electrical setups, reducing the need for special wiring.
- 1‑S and 2‑S configurations offer flexibility for pools that require single‑speed or two‑speed control, optimizing energy use and pump performance when paired with the proper controller.
- Direct replacement for legacy Century/A.O. Smith units with a proven track record across residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
- Cross‑reference‑ready cross‑compatibility with multiple former part numbers ensures you won’t be left waiting for hard‑to‑find parts.
Who benefits most from this motor?
- Pool and spa professionals replacing aging equipment in systems that use a 56Y, square flange motor.
- Homeowners performing DIY pool pump refurbishments who want a reliable, established brand lineage (Century/A.O. Smith) with broad aftermarket support.
- Facilities managers maintaining inventories of replacement motors for consistent repairs and uptime.
Practical notes for a smooth replacement:
- Verify that your pump’s frame type, flange pattern, and electrical requirements match the 56Y/230V specification before purchase.
- As a discontinued‑by‑manufacturer model, confirm availability with your supplier and review any warranty or return options.
- Consider compatibility with existing capacitors and control wiring; if uncertain, consult a qualified technician to complete the installation safely.
