Fasco Power Vent Assembly for Hot Water Tank. Model A996, No. 702112967, type U21B, T.P. AO Smith
This was purchased for a water tank that was on it's last legs. The blower motor failed on that one, causing me to buy this unit. I thought that I could extend the life of that tank. Unfortunately in December of 2025, that water tank failed on me. So I salvaged this Power Vent assembly off of it, and it is still in excellent condition.
It was purchased in June 2023 on Erie Blvd from a Heating and Cooling company for $345. This is a genuine Fasco part, exactly as the one that was originally on the Hot Water Tank.
Still looks and performs like it did when it was new. No issues with it whatsoever. Pressure switch and Temperature switch both tested okay and are functioning as expected. Long power cord attached to unit from the factory.
If it matches the bolt pattern on the top of your tank, it will fit. This unit fits many different Hot Water Tanks.
Price is firm, considering that it is less than 1/2 price from new.
