Rheem 83-104030-04 Furnace Coil Distributor Assembly

Product Description

The RHEEM 83-104030-04 is a factory-replacement distributor assembly designed for use in Rheem furnace coil units. The distributor assembly routes refrigerant from the expansion device to multiple circuits within the evaporator coil, ensuring even refrigerant distribution across all coil passes. Proper refrigerant distribution is critical to evaporator efficiency and system performance. This component measures 24.9 inches in length and 4.4 inches in both height and width, and weighs 0.95 pounds. HVAC technicians performing evaporator coil service or refrigerant-side repairs will recognize this as a direct OEM-style replacement part.

This distributor assembly is specified for use with the RCF-2417SEAVUA and RCF-2421MEAMCA Rheem furnace coil models. These are residential-style cased evaporator coils designed for installation in forced-air systems paired with a matched condensing unit. The assembly is typically accessed during coil replacement, refrigerant circuit repairs, or when diagnosing uneven coil frosting or reduced system capacity caused by a failed or damaged distributor.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician holding the appropriate EPA Section 608 refrigerant handling certification. The refrigerant circuit must be properly recovered and the system de-pressurized before removing or replacing the distributor assembly. Follow all applicable mechanical and refrigeration codes during service. Leak-test all connections after reassembly before recharging the system.
