Pleasant Hearth bushing.

[Sasquatch76]

Does anybody know where I can buy these? It's a bronze bushing in a rubber sleeve that goes on the end of the stove's convection blower. Mine is worn out and I'm going crazy scouring the internet trying to find a replacement with no luck. I'd rather not have to replace the whole blower unit when all I need is this simple little part.

Nope been trying to find them.Only one I know of is a replacement for austroflamm.Or you could buy cheap blower off ebay and see if it fits.I have spare austroflamm one,could measure it if you want.Years ago I cut and drilled a piece of brass for one.Here are some links. http://www.ebay.com/itm/UNIVERSAL-F...720960?hash=item4891521500:g:eNwAAOSw65FXrDPL http://www.stove-parts-unlimited.com/Austroflamm-Integra-Convection-Fan-Bushing-p/104552.htm

I did find that Austroflamm bushing, wasn't sure if it would fit or not, measurements would be great, thanks.
I've measured the brass bushing itself and it's 1/4" ID x 1/2" OD x 3/8" L, those can be found, but that rubber sleeve/grommet has proven impossible to find. I've also found the replacement convection blower, it's Pelpro part # SRV7000-659.

Just got an email response from GHP Group this morning saying they were sending a couple.

The austroflamm spindle hole size,is 4 mm,so quite a bit smaller.The rubber flange opening is 19 mm.

So it doesn't look like a fit. I just took the measurements of the bushing in mm. It's 4mm ID x 11mm OD x 10mm L, which looks better than the standard unit measurements. These are Chinese so metric is probably it. Back to searching.

$mm is standard german and asian shaft size on these types of blowers,so is same as austroflamm.The 19mm is the size of the hole the rubber snaps into.Will pop brass out of rubber and measure,after put some groceries away.

Ah, I see. Measured the hole in the mount and it's 19mm just like you said. Sounds like it may be a fit then. Thanks for your help.
Now to figure out the size of the bearings on the motor end just in case I need those some day.

 

[Mt Bob]

woops,$ was supposed to be 4mm.Popped out the brass,is 6mm long,but has small shoulder on OD,the shoulder/step is 1.5mm along the length,10mm in dia,rest of OD is 8mm.So the austro bushing has a step in the rubber to keep bushing in place.

 

[Mt Bob]

and the distance the bushing sticks into the housing,from the flange--3/4 hole,is aprox. 7mm

could you post picture of other side of yours?

I had to contact GHP directly and they sent a couple free of charge. No luck finding other sources.

They are part # 229-0171, but they're currently sold out on the GHPgroup Inc store website.

Edit: The Pelpro PP60 stove uses the same part.
