Ruud AE-103585-02 Solid Base Kit 21 Inch Wide Cabinet

Product Description

The RUUD AE-103585-02 is an OEM replacement solid base kit designed for 21-inch wide HVAC cabinet installations. Fabricated from durable sheet metal, this solid bottom base forms the structural foundation of the cabinet frame and body, providing rigid support for the unit during operation. It is intended for installation by licensed HVAC technicians as a direct replacement component when the original base is damaged, corroded, or missing. The sheet metal construction ensures consistent fitment and structural integrity consistent with original factory specifications.

This solid base kit is applicable to residential gas furnace installations where a 21-inch wide cabinet configuration is used. It is specifically noted for compatibility with RUUD furnace models in the R96VA, R97V-USA, R98MV, and R98V-USA product families. Installation typically occurs during cabinet assembly, major component replacement, or system rehabilitation where the base structure must be restored to factory condition.
