Ruud AE-103585-03 Solid Base Kit 24 Inch Cabinets

Product Description

The RUUD AE-103585-03 is an OEM replacement solid base kit designed for 24-inch wide furnace cabinets. Constructed from durable sheet metal, this solid bottom forms the structural base of the cabinet assembly, providing the rigid foundation that the HVAC unit frame depends on for proper alignment and support. It is an exact-fit replacement part, meaning no modification or custom fabrication is required during installation. Licensed HVAC technicians performing furnace cabinet service or unit replacement will find this part a direct substitute for the original factory component.

This solid base kit is intended for use with 24-inch wide furnace cabinet configurations. It is compatible with RUUD gas furnace models in the R96VA, R97V-USA, R98MV, and R98V-USA series, making it a relevant service part for residential forced-air heating systems where the existing solid bottom has been damaged, corroded, or compromised. It is typically installed during major furnace service, cabinet repair, or full unit reassembly scenarios.
