Description
The Rheem-Ruud 68-24016-01 is a genuine OEM replacement induced draft blower gasket designed to maintain a proper airtight seal between the induced draft blower assembly and the furnace heat exchanger or collector box. A properly functioning gasket is critical to safe furnace operation — it prevents flue gas leakage, maintains correct draft pressure, and helps protect both equipment and occupants from combustion byproduct exposure.

Why Replace Your Inducer Gasket?
Over time, inducer blower gaskets can harden, crack, or compress unevenly, leading to flue gas bypassing the sealed pathway. Replacing the gasket during any inducer service call is a best practice that ensures system integrity, extends equipment life, and keeps the installation compliant with safety standards.
