VACUFLO 460 Replacement Motor – Ametek Lamb 122159-07

Restore the suction and cleaning performance of your VACUFLO 460 central vacuum system with the Ametek Lamb 122159-07 replacement motor.

The 122159-07 is a genuine Ametek Lamb central vacuum motor, upgraded as a replacement for compatible VACUFLO 260, 460, and 760 power units. The motor features a 5.7-inch, 2-stage tangential bypass design and produces approximately 116 CFM, 112 inches of waterlift, and 443 Air Watts.

The VACUFLO 460 is one of the central vacuum models commonly associated with the older Ametek Lamb 116472 motor. The 122159-07 is the newer upgraded replacement currently offered for the 460.

Upgraded Ametek Lamb 122159-07 Motor

The 122159-07 incorporates an updated fan design intended to make the motor less susceptible to dirt becoming trapped in the fan. The upgraded motor also requires the appropriate 17-amp circuit protection when replacing the original motor with this upgraded version.

This makes the 122159-07 an excellent replacement option for customers who want to restore an older VACUFLO 460 instead of replacing the entire central vacuum power unit.

Strong Suction for Central Vacuum Systems

With approximately 443 Air Watts, 116 CFM, and 112 inches of waterlift, the 122159-07 provides strong airflow and suction for compatible central vacuum applications. Its tangential discharge design directs exhaust air away from the motor's electrical components.

Replacing a worn motor can cost-effectively extend the life of a VACUFLO 460 when the tank, wiring, relay, and other components remain in good working condition.

Important: Always verify the motor number on your existing motor before ordering. VACUFLO systems have been produced over many years, and motor specifications can vary by model and production run.

116472 vs. 122159-07

If your VACUFLO 460 currently has an 116472 motor, the 122159-07 is available as an upgraded replacement.

The original 116472 is a 110–120V, 2-stage, 5.7-inch motor rated at approximately 112 CFM, 106.7 inches of waterlift, and 404 Air Watts.

The newer 122159-07 is rated at approximately 116 CFM, 112 inches of waterlift, and 443 Air Watts, providing increased published performance.

The 122159-07 upgrade also uses an updated fan design and requires the appropriate 17-amp breaker when specified. Do not simply retain the original 15-amp breaker for an upgrade that requires 17-amp protection.
