Amana-Goodman 4010013S Collector Box

The Amana-Goodman 4010013S is a 14-inch flue collector box designed for specific 80% AFUE gas furnaces. As a critical component of the combustion assembly, this OEM replacement part manages the transition of flue gases from the heat exchanger into the venting system. Constructed from heavy-duty aluminized steel, it is engineered to withstand high temperatures and resist corrosion from combustion byproducts. This furnace collector box ensures the pressure switch remains properly calibrated by maintaining consistent internal pressure readings. If you are dealing with a furnace pressure switch error or visible scaling on the collector, a direct replacement is necessary to restore proper draft and structural integrity. This part is compatible with various Amana and Goodman furnace models featuring 14-inch wide cabinets. Verify the seal and gasket alignment during installation to prevent leakage of flue gases into the blower compartment. This HVAC ventilation part meets original manufacturer specifications for precise fitment and reliable performance.

Key Benefits for Contractors

• Direct OEM Fit: Eliminates the need for field modifications, ensuring rapid installation and reduced labor time.
• High-Temperature Durability: Engineered to handle standard 80% furnace flue temperatures without warping or premature failure.
• System Safety: Restores proper draft performance, preventing frequent furnace nuisance trips related to pressure switch faults.
• Precision Engineering: Designed with exact port locations for immediate connection to existing pressure switch tubing and venting.

Common Questions

What are the signs that a collector box needs replacement?
Technicians should look for heavy scale buildup, rusting or "rotting" at the base, and moisture leaks. These issues often lead to pressure switch failures due to restricted airflow or pressure drops.

Is the gasket included with the 4010013S?
Typically, furnace collector boxes are sold as the metal housing only. It is recommended to verify if a new gasket is required or if high-temperature RTV silicone is specified for the seal.

What causes these boxes to fail prematurely?
Poor venting practices, such as oversized flues or improper pitch, can lead to condensation. This acidic moisture settles in the flue collector box, causing accelerated corrosion.
