Description
The Rheem-Ruud 70-106080-01 is an OEM-grade induced draft blower assembly complete with gasket, engineered as a direct replacement for compatible Rheem and Ruud furnace models. This assembly ensures proper combustion gas evacuation, maintaining safe and efficient furnace operation.
Product Overview
The induced draft blower is a critical component in forced-draft and induced-draft furnace systems. It creates the negative pressure needed to draw combustion gases through the heat exchanger and safely exhaust them through the flue. The included gasket provides a secure, leak-free seal between the blower housing and the heat exchanger or collector box, preventing combustion gas bypass and protecting system integrity.
