Ruud 68-24048-01 Trap Elbow Assembly Gas Furnace

Product Description

The RUUD 68-24048-01 is a trap and elbow assembly designed for use in condensate drainage systems on residential gas furnaces. This component manages condensate flow by directing drain water away from the heat exchanger and flue sections, preventing backflow and water damage to internal furnace components. It is a direct OEM-style replacement part, intended for installation by licensed HVAC technicians servicing RUUD and compatible gas furnace lines. The assembly measures 8.6 inches in length, 5.7 inches in width, and 3.1 inches in height, and weighs 0.78 pounds.

This trap and elbow assembly is used on a wide range of RUUD residential gas furnace models, including high-efficiency condensing units that generate significant condensate during normal operation. Typical installation scenarios include warranty service, preventive maintenance, and repair calls where the existing drain assembly is cracked, clogged, or otherwise failed. The part is suited for both upflow and applicable multi-position furnace configurations as supported by the listed model families.
