Rheem-Ruud 70-106683-01 Draft Inducer Blower W/Gasket

The Rheem-Ruud 70-106683-01 Draft Inducer Blower with Gasket is an essential component in furnaces and boilers that helps to ensure safe and efficient operation. It’s a fan made of metal or high-strength plastic that rotates clock-wise at 60 Hz. By spinning, the inducer blower creates a low-pressure zone within the HVAC system. The negative pressure pulls exhaust fumes and combustion gases safely from the furnace/boiler out through the flue system maintaining them outside. This process is necessary for two reasons. First it eliminates any harmful gases such as carbon monoxide from your house preventing dangerous accumulation; second, proper ventilation leads to fuel burning efficiency therefore maximizing heat production while consuming less energy.
