How do I size a belly band?

By motor body diameter, which is what frame size is telling you. A 48 frame motor is 5-1/2 inches across, a 42 frame is 5 inches, a 29 frame is about 3.3 inches. Measure the motor shell, not the end bell. Then check the bolt circle, because short-arm bands cover roughly 6-7/8 to 8-1/8 inches and long-arm bands cover about 8-1/8 to 12-1/8 inches.

Three arms or four?

Match what came out. Most direct drive blower mounts are 3 arm, but a number of Rheem, Ruud and Lennox blower housings use a 4 arm band on a specific bolt pattern, and a 3 arm band will not land on those holes. Bring the old band or a photo of the housing.

Can I reuse the old band on a new motor?

Only if the new motor is the same frame diameter and the rubber isolators are still soft. Those grommets are what keeps blower hum out of the ductwork. If they are hard, cracked or oil soaked, replace the band. It is a cheap part, and a hardened isolator sends noise straight into the house.

Does band position on the motor matter?

Yes. Center it so the shaft ends up at the same depth in the blower wheel as before, and orient the motor so any weep or drain holes point DOWN. On a condenser motor mounted shaft up, drain holes left plugged or facing up will hold water and take the bearings out, which in our summers is a fast death.
