Namco 1014 Air Mover – 3/4 HP, 3-Speed, Polyethylene, Carpet Drying

Namco 1014 Air Mover – 3/4 HP, 3-Speed Carpet Blower

The Namco 1014 is a 3/4 HP, three-speed air mover in a durable polyethylene housing designed for carpet drying, floor drying, and water damage response. The flat-outlet design directs high-volume airflow under carpet and along floor surfaces to accelerate evaporation. Three speed settings let operators match airflow to the drying conditions — lower speeds for delicate surfaces, maximum speed for rapid moisture extraction after flooding or carpet extraction cleaning.

Motor, Speed, and Airflow

• Motor: 3/4 HP (0.75 HP)
• Speed settings: 3-speed control
• Power supply: 120V, standard household current
• Housing material: Polyethylene — impact-resistant and lightweight
• Outlet design: Flat outlet angles airflow under carpet and along floor surfaces
• Stackable design: Efficient storage and transport for crews working multiple units

Carpet Cleaning and Water Damage Response

Carpet cleaning contractors use the 1014 immediately after extraction — positioning the flat outlet under the carpet edge directs airflow between the backing and the pad to dry both layers simultaneously. Water damage restoration teams place multiple units around the perimeter of a wet area to create a cross-flow drying pattern that reduces dry times compared to single-unit axial fans. The polyethylene housing is unaffected by incidental water contact during restoration work. At 3/4 HP on 120V, the 1014 runs from any standard 15A residential or commercial outlet without tripping breakers when multiple units share a circuit — confirm amperage draw per unit with Namco for multi-unit circuit planning.

Storage, Transport, and Multi-Unit Deployment

The flat-profile polyethylene body stacks cleanly for transport in service vehicles — important for restoration crews who deploy six to twelve units per job. The compact footprint keeps the unit out of foot traffic paths during occupied-space drying operations. Three speed settings allow the same unit to serve both high-volume carpet drying (high speed) and gentle air circulation in occupied offices after light water events (low speed). Unlike centrifugal blowers designed for air scrubbing or negative pressure, the 1014 is purpose-built for surface and under-carpet drying.
