The Suburban 521255 kit is the earlier OEM sleeve‑bearing motor kit used in several high‑output SF‑series furnaces that use the Q / FQ / VHQ / VHFQ combustion housings. It includes the correct 12‑volt blower/combustion motor along with the matching gasket and mounting screws required for a complete installation.
This kit was later superseded by 521232, but many technicians still search for 521255 because it appears in older service manuals and parts lists.
