WEG PCQ120 Pool and Spa Pump Motor, 2 HP, 230V, 1-Phase, M48Y, Footless square flange

Product Overview

The WEG PCQ120 is a 2 HP, single-phase electric motor with a M48Y frame and rolled steel housing. This listing is identified by Power Plus Retailers SKU 5160503. Its IC01 - ODP enclosure and footless square flange arrangement are important selection details alongside the electrical rating. The listed operating configuration is 230 V, 60 Hz.

This motor uses a footless square flange M48Y frame for a mechanically compatible equipment drive. Confirm the exact mounting interface and support arrangement before selecting a replacement. For replacement work, compare the driven machine’s mounting pattern, shaft center height, shaft extension and coupling or pulley requirements. A similar horsepower rating does not establish mechanical interchangeability.

The open-drip-proof construction has ventilation openings and must be selected with the installation environment in mind. Keep the motor in a suitable protected location and provide the cooling clearances required by the manufacturer. An ODP motor should not be selected as though it were a sealed, washdown or submersible unit.

This pool and spa motor is a replacement drive for a compatible pump assembly. Match the complete frame designation, flange, shaft threading, service-factor horsepower and pump manufacturer requirements before ordering. The round C-face PCJ design and square-flange PCQ design are different interfaces; equal horsepower does not make them interchangeable. A pump wet end is not included.

Technical Specifications

Applications

For maintenance professionals, electricians and equipment builders selecting a drive with the specified mounting interface. Possible uses depend on the driven equipment’s power, starting-torque and operating-speed requirements. Check the machine manufacturer’s motor specification before using it on a pump, fan, compressor or other load; no universal compatibility is represented.

Installation and Selection Notes

Before ordering, compare the full catalog number, frame designation and electrical data with the existing motor and equipment documentation. Verify supply voltage, phase and frequency, shaft diameter and extension, mounting-hole locations, rotation requirements and available installation space. Confirm that the driven load can start and operate within the motor’s ratings.

This is a single-phase model. It must not be selected as a three-phase replacement based only on horsepower or frame size. Have a qualified installer check the available supply and follow the delivered motor’s wiring diagram for the chosen voltage. Do not assume every listed voltage can be used without reconnecting the motor.

Retain adequate cooling airflow and follow manufacturer instructions for alignment, support and maintenance. Exact loaded RPM, full-load current and protection settings should be checked against current model documentation; they have not been inferred from horsepower or pole count in this listing.

What’s Included

This listing identifies the motor. A pump assembly, impeller, seal kit, control panel, coupling, pulley or installation hardware is not represented as included unless separately confirmed.

Shipping and Product Notes

Packaged weight and carton dimensions remain to be confirmed. Frame-family spreadsheet estimates are not presented as measured shipping data. Confirm delivery requirements before purchase.
