Ruud 70-101888-02 Induced Draft Blower 120V 2-stage

Product Description

The RUUD 70-101888-02 is a 2-stage induced draft blower assembly with gasket designed for residential gas furnace applications. Operating at 120 VAC and 60 Hz, this sheet metal blower moves combustion gases through the heat exchanger and out the flue, maintaining proper draft across both stages of furnace operation. The right-side discharge configuration is an OEM-specified orientation critical to correct airflow routing within the furnace cabinet. Licensed HVAC technicians install this assembly as a direct replacement when the original inducer motor fails or when the draft blower housing develops cracks or leaks that compromise combustion safety.

This induced draft blower is used on RUUD gas furnace models in the RGLQ, RGLR, RGPQ, RGPR, RGLE, RGPE, R802P-MSA, R802P-ZSA, R802T-MSA, R802V-MSA, and R802V-ZSA series. The included gasket ensures a sealed connection between the blower housing and the heat exchanger outlet, preventing combustion gas leakage into the supply air stream. This is a residential gas furnace component typically found in forced-air heating systems.

Key Features

• 2-stage operation matches furnace staging for low- and high-fire combustion cycles
• Right side discharge orientation matches OEM airflow routing in compatible furnace cabinets
• Operates at 120 VAC, 60 Hz for direct replacement without electrical modification
• Sheet metal construction for durability in high-temperature flue gas environments
• Includes gasket for a sealed, code-compliant installation at the heat exchanger interface

Compatibility

Designed for use on RUUD gas furnace models RGLQ, RGLR, RGPQ, RGPR, RGLE, RGPE, R802P-MSA, R802P-ZSA, R802T-MSA, R802V-MSA, and R802V-ZSA series gas furnaces.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician. Shut off electrical power at the disconnect and turn off the gas supply before removing the existing inducer assembly. Verify that the replacement gasket seats fully against the heat exchanger collar before securing the blower to prevent combustion gas bypass. Follow all applicable local mechanical codes and manufacturer service documentation during installation.
