Coleman Cable 3500-8981 Coil Shelf Support

Product Description

The COLEMAN CABLE 3500-8981 is a coil shelf support designed to hold an evaporator coil in the correct position within a forced-air furnace installation. This bracket-style component provides the structural platform that keeps the coil assembly seated and stable during operation. It is installed by licensed HVAC technicians during new installations or when replacing a damaged or corroded shelf. Proper coil positioning is critical for efficient airflow and heat transfer, making this a functional structural component rather than a serviceable wear part.

This coil shelf support is specified for use with EB and EU Series downflow and upflow furnaces. It fits both downflow and upflow configurations, making it applicable across a range of residential and light-commercial gas or electric forced-air systems within that product family. Installers typically source this part when performing evaporator coil service, cabinet work, or full unit replacement where the original shelf is bent, cracked, or missing.

Key Features

• Designed specifically for EB and EU Series furnace platforms in both downflow and upflow orientations
• Provides stable, fixed support for the evaporator coil assembly inside the furnace cabinet
• OEM-style replacement maintains original fit and coil alignment
• Supports correct airflow path by keeping the coil properly seated in the cabinet

Compatibility

Designed for use with EB Series and EU Series downflow and upflow furnaces as specified by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician. Disconnect electrical power to the furnace and, if applicable, shut off the gas supply before opening the cabinet or handling internal components. The coil and refrigerant lines must be properly supported before removing or repositioning the shelf. Follow all applicable local codes and manufacturer service instructions when reassembling the cabinet.
