Rheem-Ruud 70-42278-02 Inducer Draft Blower With Gasket 208-230V

The Rheem-Ruud 70-42278-02 is an inducer draft blower, a crucial component in gas-fired furnaces and boilers. It safely removes combustion gases and excess heat by generating negative pressure. This negative pressure creates a draft that pulls exhaust fumes out of the appliance and vents them outdoors. In essence, it keeps your HVAC system functioning safely and efficiently. This specific draft blower is compatible with a wide range of HVAC equipment operating on 208-230 volts. It weighs around 8.5 lbs and includes a gasket to ensure a proper seal between the blower and the appliance, preventing any leakage of hazardous combustion gases. Easy installation makes this a homeowner-friendly replacement part, though some prefer to have a qualified technician handle the job.
