Application
This inducer gasket is intended for use in Rheem and Ruud gas furnaces equipped with a draft inducer blower assembly.

Always verify compatibility with your specific furnace model number before installation.
Why Choose a Genuine OEM Gasket?
Using a genuine Rheem-Ruud OEM gasket ensures proper material composition, dimensional accuracy, and long-term durability — factors that aftermarket alternatives may not reliably provide. Replacing a worn, cracked, or damaged inducer gasket promptly can prevent carbon monoxide hazards and costly heat exchanger damage.
