Product Description

The RUUD AE-103585-01 is an OEM replacement solid base kit designed for 17-inch wide HVAC unit cabinets. Constructed from durable sheet metal, this base kit forms the structural foundation of compatible furnace or air handler cabinets. It provides a solid, stable bottom enclosure that supports the cabinet frame and internal components. Licensed HVAC technicians typically install this part during cabinet restoration or unit refurbishment when the original base has deteriorated or been damaged. The sheet metal construction delivers long-term rigidity and dimensional accuracy consistent with original factory specifications.

This base kit is intended for use with 17-inch wide HVAC unit cabinets in residential applications. It is suited for installations where the original solid bottom has failed or is missing entirely, restoring the structural integrity of the cabinet assembly. Compatible unit series include the R96VA, R97V-USA, R98MV, and R98V-USA. These are typically residential gas furnace product lines where cabinet fit and proper airflow containment are critical to system performance.
